Type: Full-time
This role is ideal for a mid-level Infrastructure or DevOps Engineer with 3+ years of experience who thrives in fast-paced startup environments. You should have a strong software engineering background, specifically with Python, and a deep technical grasp of Kubernetes and cloud architecture. If you enjoy "owning" the reliability and automation of a platform that serves major enterprise clients like NVIDIA and OpenAI, this is a high-impact opportunity. A standout feature of this position is the chance to join a venture-backed AI startup during a high-growth phase. The compensation range is broad ($100k - $210k), reflecting the company’s "ownership" culture and willingness to pay for top-tier talent. While the role emphasizes in-person collaboration at the Irvine, Denver, or SF hubs, you’ll be at the forefront of driving major initiatives like multi-cloud support and MLOps. **You might be a good fit if you...** * Have "gumption" and prefer the speed and hustle of an early-stage startup. * Are an expert in Python and have hands-on experience building/scaling Kubernetes environments. * Enjoy designing CI/CD pipelines and proactive monitoring systems from scratch. * Want to work on infrastructure that directly supports AI/ML and massive data warehouses.
