Senior Cloud Platform Engineer – AI‑Driven Infra

Xora Innovation; San Diego (CA); Hybrid; USD 180,000 - 240,000; Full time

Job summary

Elemynt, built by Xora Innovation, is hiring a senior platform engineer to own cloud infrastructure foundations, core services, and observability. The role focuses on reproducible, secure deployments across customer environments and emphasizes reliability from the ground up.

You will design and ship containerized building blocks, deploy pipelines, and monitoring to keep services fast and available in multi-cloud or on-prem setups. This is a hands-on senior role in a fast-moving startup.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in CS or related engineering field, with 6+ years shipping prod software.
• Hands-on cloud infra with Kubernetes and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform or similar) on AWS/GCP/Azure.
• Experience designing and operating core backend services and APIs used by other engineers.
• Ownership of cloud deployment processes: pipelines, versioned artifacts, and reproducible rollouts.
• Observability in production: metrics, logs, traces, dashboards, alerts.
• Strong software fundamentals; coding in Go, Python, or Rust.
• Experience defining SLOs and reliability-first design.
• Comfort in early-stage, ambiguous environments with sensible trade-offs.

Responsibilities

• Build and own the cloud infrastructure foundations (networking, IAM, Kubernetes, IaC).
• Design and build core platform services and internal APIs to run reliably anywhere.
• Own end-to-end deployment pipeline: build, versioned artifacts, staged rollouts, rollbacks.
• Stand up observability: metrics, logs, traces, dashboards, alerts.
• Instrument SLOs and health signals to measure reliability and detect regressions.
• Keep foundations portable and reproducible across environments.
• Deliver deployment-ready building blocks (container images, Helm charts, IaC modules).
• Harden foundations: secrets, certificates, and network boundaries.
