Job summary

Jobgether is seeking an experienced backend and infrastructure engineer to own the end-to-end design, implementation, and operation of dedicated AI-driven cloud environments for multiple customers. You will build scalable backend services, APIs, and IaC patterns to empower product teams.

You will manage VMs, containers, queues, observability, and security, scale to thousands of environments, and collaborate with platform and product teams to set architecture standards and accelerate delivery.

Qualifications

• 6–12 years of professional software engineering experience, backend development and core infrastructure engineering.
• Experience building or contributing to core infrastructure within an AI-native Series A–C startup.
• Hands-on with production application development, backend-focused rather than DevOps/SRE.
• Ownership of infrastructure components such as VMs, queues, containers, and persistent cloud environments.
• Strong backend engineering skills to design, deploy, and maintain production systems independently.
• IaC expertise with Pulumi, Terraform, or AWS CDK.
• Hands-on with Docker, Kubernetes, or similar container orchestration.
• Deep knowledge of cloud platforms (Azure, AWS, GCP).
• Knowledge of Linux, networking, storage, permissions, and runtime debugging.
• Experience designing distributed systems, asynchronous processing, and reliable service architectures.
• Ability to write application code that manages infrastructure beyond mere tooling.
• Experience designing APIs, backend services, and reusable abstractions.

Responsibilities

• Design, build, and maintain code for managing persistent, always-on cloud environments for individual customers.
• Own lifecycle management of VMs, containers, queues, observability, and security mechanisms.
• Develop scalable backend services, APIs, and infrastructure abstractions for rapid product development.
• Design and implement reliable distributed systems including messaging queues and service buses.
• Scale infrastructure from hundreds to thousands of environments while maintaining HA and performance.
• Develop and improve IaC patterns using Pulumi or comparable technologies.
• Work with Docker, Kubernetes, cloud platforms, Linux, networking, and storage to support workloads.
• Diagnose and resolve issues across application and infrastructure layers, addressing bottlenecks long-term.
• Establish monitoring, observability, and security practices across customer environments.
• Collaborate with platform and product teams to define architecture and accelerate development.
• Take end-to-end ownership of initiatives from architecture through deployment and production debugging.
