Job Summary
We're looking for an Infrastructure Engineer to build developer tooling that enables developer velocity and reliability for the entire engineering organization. Our team owns the full end-to-end development lifecycle, from local development tools, CI/CD, dynamic testing environments, deployments, and releases. You’ll be working with the latest cloud-native technologies as you build an infrastructure platform that enables the engineering organization to deliver observability for some of the largest technology companies.
Architect & Build: Design and maintain high-scale developer tooling and backend services that improve productivity and reliability across a distributed cloud environment. We operate in a 100% modern, cloud-native ecosystem, and you will work exclusively with ephemeral infrastructure and containerized microservices.
Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Treat infrastructure as a first-class citizen. You will define, deploy, and manage entire environments using declarative IaC (Terraform), ensuring our platform is reproducible and version-controlled.
Drive Systemic Quality: Identify and eliminate systemic bottlenecks in the software development lifecycle (SDLC) through architectural changes or advanced tooling.
Scale & Reliability: Ensure our infrastructure remains resilient under massive traffic loads while optimizing for performance, cost-efficiency, and near-real-time telemetry processing.
Strategic Leadership & Mentorship: Define platform standards and reference architectures that span a 1–3 year horizon, balancing feature velocity with long-term technical debt. Act as the "glue" across teams, consulting on infrastructure best practices and up-leveling the organization through mentorship.
דרישות
8+ years of relevant experience with the following:
Foundational Technical Proficiency: Strong experience in at least one backend language (e.g., Go, Java, Python, or Rust). We value fluency and the ability to write modular, testable code over knowing a specific syntax.
Strong proficiency in at least one backend language (e.g., Go, Java, Python, or Rust). We prioritize the ability to write modular, testable code over knowledge of a specific language syntax.
Deep Systems Expertise: You go beyond "using" the cloud; you understand how it works. This includes:
Cloud-Native: A solid understanding of cloud-native concepts and experience working with cloud providers like AWS or GCP. You should be comfortable navigating Kubernetes and container-level logic.
Operating Systems & Compute: Deep knowledge of Linux internals, process management, and resource isolation.
Networking & Security: Understanding of the OSI model, service meshes, load balancing, and "zero-trust" security architectures.
Distributed Systems: Experience building and debugging systems that deal with CAP theorem trade-offs, eventual consistency, and distributed tracing.
Reliable Execution: A track record of completing assigned tasks/tickets reliably and estimating work effectively within a sprint. You take ownership of features from local development through to basic testing and delivery.
Analytical Debugging & Quality: The ability to debug your own code efficiently using logs and tests, while proactively identifying edge cases (like nulls or limits) during the design phase.
Collaborative Spirit: Strong communication skills to keep teammates informed, raise blockers early, and contribute meaningfully to code reviews and design discussions.
Continuous Learning: A proactive approach to learning new tools, processes, and libraries. You are open to feedback and use incidents or code reviews as opportunities to up-level your skills.
AI-Native Development: You embrace the future of engineering. Experience or interest in using AI coding assistants (like Cursor or Claude) to improve productivity and automate boilerplate tasks.
