    Description

    About the Role

    This is a high-ownership infrastructure role at a fast-growing AI-native B2B SaaS company serving enterprise retail brands. You'll architect, build, and maintain the cloud systems that power a platform handling critical consumer intelligence workloads — working closely with backend and ML engineers to keep things secure, scalable, and highly reliable.

    What You'll Do

    • Architect and build secure, scalable cloud infrastructure using infrastructure as code (Terraform/Terragrunt) on AWS.

    • Design and maintain robust CI/CD pipelines, converting manual processes into automated, repeatable workflows.

    • Own production reliability — set up observability stacks, define SLI/SLOs, and lead incident response.

    • Implement and champion GitOps workflows for all infrastructure deployments.

    • Build compliance-ready infrastructure (SOC 2, GDPR) with IAM best practices and secrets management.

    • Optimize cloud costs while maintaining performance and reliability at scale.

    • Create developer tooling and documentation that accelerates engineering workflows across the team.

    • Mentor team members on DevOps best practices and help guide broader infrastructure strategy.

    What We're Looking For

    • 5+ years of end-to-end infrastructure ownership in production environments.

    • Hands-on infrastructure work within the last 2 years (not purely architectural).

    • Strong expertise with Kubernetes, with EKS experience preferred.

    • Proven track record building and managing AWS infrastructure for B2B SaaS products.

    • Experience designing and maintaining CI/CD pipelines in production.

    • Deep hands-on expertise with Terraform and Terragrunt.

    • Broad DevOps scope — infrastructure, deployment, monitoring, and compliance — not just CI/CD.

    • Background at VC-backed startups or mid-sized technology companies.

    • Currently based in the greater New York City area.

    Compensation & Benefits

    Base salary: $160,000 – $200,000 USD annually. Visa sponsorship is not available for this role.
