Job description

Engineering · New York, NY, US / Remote (San Francisco, CA, US; New York, NY, US) · Full-time · Senior level

This role owns the whole cloud estate for a company handling sensitive evidence, so the person must design, run and secure infrastructure across two cloud providers with code, not clicks. A strong candidate brings hands on site reliability and DevOps work, real comfort with government security rules treated as engineering problems, and the judgment to keep a small team shipping quickly. GPU capacity for AI workloads and round the clock reliability also sit squarely in the job.

How it fits the AI era

AI workloads shape the infrastructure itself, since GPU capacity for language and machine learning models must be provisioned and scaled while balancing speed, uptime and cost. The human core stays the same: security design, audit readiness, monitoring and fast incident response when systems fail. AI can help watch systems and flag problems, but someone still has to own the decisions and the fixes.

How it builds AI experience

Working here means gaining direct experience running GPU infrastructure for AI models inside a regulated government cloud setting, which is rare and valuable. The person would also learn how compliance frameworks like CJIS and FedRAMP translate into real infrastructure controls. Building that background starts with hands on cloud and Terraform work plus exposure to secure or government environments.

Worth showing

• Terraform and cloud infrastructure
• AWS and GCP operations
• CJIS or FedRAMP compliance
• GPU capacity for AI
• Monitoring and incident response
