Lead Infrastructure Engineer – AI Scale-Up

Lead Infrastructure Engineer – AI Scale-Up

A VC backed AI start-up is looking for a hands-on infrastructure leader to own one of the most mission-critical product areas: enterprise-grade deployment orchestration across multi-cloud and on-premise environments.

This is a high-impact role where you’ll design and build the systems that allow Fortune 500 companies to securely adopt next-generation AI software in their own environments.

What you’ll be doing:

• Architecting modular, scalable infrastructure across AWS, Azure, GCP, and private cloud.
• Building Kubernetes platforms, Helm charts, and deployment pipelines that make complex software “click-to-install.”
• Creating APIs, tooling, and automation that streamline operations for enterprise customers.
• Solving for enterprise constraints: security, compliance, hybrid connectivity, and air-gapped deployments.
• Partnering closely with product and engineering teams to deliver SaaS-like experiences inside customer-controlled environments.

What we’re looking for:

• 5–8+ years of experience building production infrastructure with Terraform, Kubernetes, and CI/CD tooling.
• Deep expertise in multi-cloud deployments and container orchestration.
• Background in enterprise platform engineering – ideally BYOC, on-prem, or regulated environments.
• Strong understanding of security patterns (RBAC, secrets management, least privilege access) and compliance requirements.
• Experience designing developer platforms, infrastructure-as-code frameworks, or orchestration systems.

Nice to have:

• Contributions to open-source infrastructure projects.
• Familiarity with service mesh, observability stacks, or workflow orchestration systems.
• Experience supporting air-gapped or hybrid cloud deployments.

Why this role?

This is a chance to set the direction for one of the most strategic areas of the AI platform. You’ll be building the infrastructure that underpins enterprise AI adoption, working directly with some of the most sophisticated customers in the world. It’s a role with both deep technical challenge and outsized impact.
