You'll work directly with the founding team, owning how the platform is architected, deployed, scaled, and operated. This is a highly hands-on role for someone who wants to build systems, not just design them.

What you'll own:

• Build AWS infrastructure from the ground up
• Design scalable infrastructure for AI and LLM workloads
• Own compute, networking, CI/CD, observability, security, and reliability
• Build and scale containerized services with ECS/Fargate
• Drive infrastructure as code with Terraform
• Solve complex distributed systems and reliability challenges

What we're looking for:

• 7+ years building production infrastructure
• Deep AWS and containerization experience
• Experience building infrastructure from 0→1
• Experience with Postgres, Redis, queues, or streaming systems
• AI/ML infrastructure experience is a plus
• Someone who can architect systems and write the code to ship them

A high ownership opportunity to define the infrastructure foundation of a rapidly scaling AI company, working closely with the founding team.
