Job summary

Jobtailor in New York, NY seeks an infrastructure-focused engineer to deploy and scale AI-agent infrastructure and own the observability stack and CI/CD pipelines. You will optimize performance, reliability, and developer experience while delivering fast, safe deployments for a small but rapidly evolving product team.

You will collaborate across engineering to build scalable systems, tackle ambiguity in a growth-stage environment, and drive reliable operations with a bias toward enabling other

Qualifications

• 4+ years of hands-on experience operating production infrastructure on a major cloud, including provisioning, deploying, and debugging real systems under load.
• Fluency with infrastructure-as-code and a track record of managing infra declaratively.
• Strong observability instincts: metrics, traces, logs, and alerting to catch and resolve incidents quickly.
• Experience owning CI/CD pipelines and the build/deploy systems an engineering org depends on.
• Comfort with relational/Postgres databases: performance, scaling, and safe schema changes.
• Bias toward leverage: enabling other engineers to work faster.

Responsibilities

• Own observability end to end.
• Own CI/CD.
• Make shipping fast and safe.

Job description

Responsibilities

• Deploy and scale our AI-agent infrastructure.
• Own observability end to end.
• Own CI/CD.
• Make shipping fast and safe.
• Treat developer experience as a product.
• Build for the product, not just the platform.

Requirements

• 4+ years of hands‑on experience operating production infrastructure on a major cloud, including provisioning, deploying, and debugging real systems under load.
• Fluency with infrastructure-as-code and a track record of managing infra declaratively rather than by hand.
• Strong observability instincts: you've built the metrics, traces, logs, and alerting that let a team catch and resolve incidents quickly.
• Experience owning CI/CD pipelines and the build/deploy systems a whole engineering org depends on.
• Comfort going deep on databases (especially relational/Postgres): performance, scaling, and safe schema/operational changes.
• A bias toward leverage: you make *other* engineers faster, not just yourself.
• Comfort juggling many competing priorities at one time.
• Comfort operating in ambiguity at an early‑stage company: you're at home taking a function that’s been handled on the side and making it your own, on a small team that moves fast.
