Senior Infrastructure Engineer

About CloudX

About The Team

What you'll do

• Infrastructure Engineering: helping design our data pipelines, our network architecture, our deployment strategies, and any other aspect of our product that involves core infrastructure. We’ll rely on you to be the expert in the room as well as a hands-on engineer capable of doing the work yourself (but not alone!)
• Technical Leadership: lead by example to help develop our engineering team’s practices, particularly when it comes to testing and scaling a product whose core functionality involves large-scale, complex, sensitive, data processing.
• Incident Response: alongside the rest of us, you’ll be on-call for the systems we build. You’ll play a large part in helping us minimize our operational burden through process design and shift-left mentality, but at the end of the day we all have to keep the code running. 

Who you are

• Infrastructure Platform Experience: you’ve built platforms, tools, and capabilities that other engineers can rely upon to deliver a best-in-class product. You know how to abstract over YAML templating in a way that other engineers can understand and use without pain. You like solving problems in a re-usable way that makes it easier for the entire team to succeed.
• DevOps/SRE Experience: you’ve been on-call before and have a good sense for how teams can minimize operational burden. Maybe you’ve had to play hero before, but you’d prefer that everyone gets reliable, consistent, sleep, because the foundation we’re building is rock-solid.
• Hands-on expertise: you may have managed or led at points in your career, but you still code regularly and are interested in continuing to do so. You’ve been in charge of larger projects or initiatives and know how to work well with others.
• Strong written communication skills: you are used to writing about, speaking about, and generally communicating complex technical subject matter both to other engineers and to non-engineers.
• Early-stage mentality: you understand that success at a startup involves grit and determination. You have good taste when it comes to trading off speed vs. perfection. You know when to cut corners but aren’t afraid to advocate for rigor when you believe it’s necessary.
• AI forward: you are actively experimenting with or using AI as part of your software engineering practice. You don’t send vibe-coded slop to your teammates to review, but you use AI appropriately to achieve great results.
• High ownership: you care a lot about your work and when you ship a product, you make sure it continues to solve problems for the customer. You care a lot about the customer, the overall business, and are constantly trying to help achieve success — with or without code.

• Adtech experience: you’ve worked in adtech, particularly mobile adtech, and have a good understanding of the broader ecosystem and market.
• Stack experience: we’re running in AWS, we use terraform to manage infra, we use EKS for kubernetes clusters, we deploy with ArgoCD, we merge code with Github, we write a lot of Golang, we put application state in Postgres, we store a lot of event data in Clickhouse, we use Datadog for observability. Familiarity with any or all of these, particularly AWS and EKS, is a strong positive.
