Jobbeschreibung

Ever imagined saying, “I helped launch the future of transportation”?

We’re rewriting the rules of urban mobility. At Vay, customers tap a button and a car arrives - with no one inside - powered by our world-first Remote Driving technology on real public streets.

We’re live in Las Vegas and scaling fast, powered by a strategic investment of up to $410 million from Grab. Our mission is simple: replace private car ownership with a faster, cleaner, door-to-door mobility model. If you want to build something real, visible, and genuinely transformative, you’ll feel right at home here.

What’s happening at Vay

• First to roll out vehicles in both Europe and the USA on public roads without a human being inside & currently the 2nd largest commercial, driverless car fleet in the Western World.
• We've partnered with Kodiak to bring remote-driving technology to autonomous trucks in the US, showcasing our ability to integrate our system into heavy-duty commercial vehicles and expand the applications of our tech across the US.
• We’ve completed 10’s of thousands of trips so far and are busy multiplying our Las Vegas fleet just to meet demand!
• ...And soon we’ll be expanding across the US & Europe 🚀

Why this role is exciting

At Vay, cars are remotely operated on public streets in real time. Running this safely at scale requires a highly reliable, low latency, security critical cloud infrastructure.

As a Senior Cloud Infrastructure Engineer, you will own and evolve the systems that keep our fleet and remote control stations available, observable, and cost efficient. You’ll work on AWS infrastructure, monitoring, CI/CD, and release tooling that directly supports live customer operations.

You’ll join a pragmatic, experienced engineering team working on a production system already used by customers, with clear ownership, real operational responsibility, and room to shape how the platform scales.

What you'll be driving

You will be a senior, hands on contributor responsible for the reliability, scalability, and operational excellence of Vay’s cloud infrastructure.

• Cloud infrastructure: Design, operate, and continuously improve our AWS based cloud infrastructure with a strong focus on availability and reliability
• Monitoring and observability: Build and evolve monitoring, alerting, and observability solutions to proactively detect and resolve issues
• Fleet orchestration: Orchestrate software configuration and deployment across 100+ vehicles and remote control stations
• Cost and performance optimisation: Improve infrastructure reliability while optimising cost efficiency as the fleet scales
• CI/CD and release tooling: Increase release frequency and safety by improving CI/CD tooling, automated testing, and self service release processes
• Architecture evolution: Contribute to and help shape the evolution of our cloud and infrastructure architecture as the system grows in complexity and scale

What are we looking for

You will be a seasoned Senior Cloud Infrastructure or DevOps engineer who is comfortable owning complex infrastructure end to end. You combine strong systems knowledge with a pragmatic, automation first mindset and thrive in environments where reliability matters.

• Systems expertise: Strong background in Linux systems, servers, storage, networking, and databases
• Cloud and security: Solid understanding of AWS, cloud networking, and security best practices
• Containerisation: Hands on experience with Docker and Kubernetes
• Infrastructure as Code: Proven experience with IaC and automation using tools such as Terraform and Ansible
• CI/CD: Hands on experience with CI/CD tooling such as GitHub Actions and CircleCI
• Scripting and automation: Comfortable scripting in Python and or Bash/Shell
• Autonomous execution: Ability to work independently, take ownership, and make sound technical decisions in a production environment
