Senior Cloud Infra Engineer — Scalable and Secure

Ujet; United States; On-site; USD 150,000 - 175,000; Full time

Job summary

UJET is hiring a Senior Cloud Infrastructure Engineer to design, build, and evolve the cloud environment our platform runs on. You’ll own the foundational infrastructure layer—networking, Kubernetes, cloud architecture, and core services—and ensure security, scalability, and cost efficiency.

This is not an application development role; you’ll operate where outages originate or are prevented, enabling engineers to move fast while staying guarded and compliant.

Qualifications

• 5–10+ years of experience in cloud infrastructure, platform engineering, or SRE.
• Deep experience with Google Cloud (GCP) or equivalent cloud platforms and distributed systems.
• Strong expertise in networking (VPCs, load balancing, DNS), Kubernetes and container orchestration, infrastructure as Code (Terraform or similar), building and operating production‑scale infrastructure systems.
• Strong programming/scripting skills (Go, Python, etc.) for automation and tooling.
• Ability to work across teams and influence technical direction.

Responsibilities

• Design and manage GCP project structure, networking, and core infrastructure
• Define and maintain infrastructure-as-code (Terraform) standards and patterns
• Improve system-level architecture for scalability, resilience, and performance
• Build reusable infrastructure patterns that product teams can safely adopt
• Reduce friction for developers while maintaining strong guardrails
• Partner with engineering teams to improve how services are deployed and operated
• Manage and evolve base observability systems (metrics, logging, tracing foundations)
• Build and maintain infrastructure for secrets management, IAM, and security primitives
• Ensure infrastructure is secure by default, not by exception
• Improve infrastructure reliability and reduce systemic risk
• Lead and contribute to incident response when infrastructure is involved
• Identify and eliminate infrastructure-level failure modes and bottlenecks
• Drive cloud cost visibility and optimization
• Build systems and practices that balance performance, reliability, and cost
• Partner with leadership to align infrastructure investment with business needs
• Shape infrastructure strategy across teams and services
• Drive adoption of standards and best practices across engineering
• Identify systemic issues and lead cross-team improvements
