AI Infra Engineer: Multi-Cloud & Observability

Socket.dev; New York (NY); On-site; USD 150,000 - 210,000; Full time

Job summary

Percepta is hiring an AI Infrastructure Engineer to own the infrastructure, deployment, and reliability powering our autonomous AI systems. You’ll tighten Terraform footprints, strengthen pipelines, and define new patterns for agentic workloads.

You’ll collaborate with teams across engineering to meet SOC 2, HIPAA and regulated environment requirements while advancing observability and reliability at scale. This is a high-autonomy role with real ownership.

Qualifications

• 5+ years building and operating production infrastructure in DevOps or SRE roles
• The kind of engineer who sees a manual process and can't rest until it's automated well, not just scripted
• Strong hands-on Terraform experience
• Deep experience with at least 1 major cloud provider (AWS, GCP, or Azure): networking, IAM, cost management, the operational realities of production workloads
• Solid Docker and Kubernetes experience in production. We run managed clusters across all 3 major clouds; this is a core part of the role
• Experience designing and maintaining CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or similar)
• Scripting proficiency in Python, Bash, or similar
• High agency: you don't wait for a ticket to fix what's broken, but you communicate, collaborate, and bring the team along
• Genuine curiosity about AI systems, not just the infrastructure running them. You want to understand what you're operating
• You find it interesting (not alarming) that some systems you'll operate will be making decisions on their own

Responsibilities

• Define infrastructure patterns for multi-agent systems that need to be observable, controllable, and recoverable in ways traditional apps don't require
• Own and evolve our IaC stack: Terraform and Kubernetes across AWS, GCP, and Azure
• Build observability primitives for agentic workflows, tracing agent decisions and execution paths, not just service latency and pod health
• Design and maintain CI/CD pipelines that give teams fast, trustworthy feedback from commit to production
• Build operational foundations: monitoring, alerting, incident response, and the new patterns that emerge when AI systems are participants in that response
• Work across engineering teams to meet the reliability and compliance requirements of the institutions we serve (SOC 2, HIPAA, regulated environments in healthcare and energy)
