About the role
About the Role
Join an AI infrastructure team to lead deployments of machine learning software in enterprise customer environments, from cloud VPCs to on-premises infrastructure. You will work directly with customer engineering, IT, security, and platform teams to make complex deployments reliable and repeatable.
What You'll Do

What We're Looking For
- At least 3 years of experience in infrastructure engineering, DevOps, or SRE, with relevant experience in the 3 to 10+ year range.
- Deep production expertise with Kubernetes and Terraform, plus experience with AWS, GCP, or Azure, networking, and infrastructure as code.
- Familiarity with Python, Helm, Docker, Linux, GPU infrastructure, and customer deployment tools such as Replicated or KOTS.
- Experience deploying software into customer-controlled environments, such as BYOC or VPC, air-gapped systems, on-premises installations, or customer-managed clusters.
- Clear, structured communication and the ability to troubleshoot live with external engineering teams.
- Infrastructure experience at a startup or high-growth technology company, with a strong record of delivery and sustained role tenure.
