Full Job Description

📋 Description

• Make deployments boring (in the best way possible)
• Own CI/CD pipelines: optimize build times, improve caching, reduce flakiness
• Evolve our Kubernetes (EKS) deployment strategy for reliability and speed
• Build and harden the infrastructure behind model serving, inference, and agent tooling—not just the app layer around them
• Extend our telemetry with better instrumentation, smarter sampling, and actionable dashboards, including eval pipelines and LLM-ops guardrails
• Build alerting that catches actual problems and ignores noise
• Make the feedback loop from code to production as fast as possible
• Improve preview environments, local dev tooling, and testing infrastructure
• Eliminate toil through thoughtful automation, not another dashboard nobody reads
• Be the engineer who makes other engineers—and agents—faster

🎯 Requirements

• Come from a company where infrastructure was the product itself—not infrastructure work done in service of someone else's product
• Applied that infra background specifically to AI/LLM workloads: model serving, inference infrastructure, agent tooling, eval pipelines, or LLM-ops guardrails
• Real technical depth in distributed systems: Rust or Go, storage engines, control planes, Ceph, RDMA, eBPF, bare-metal automation, or Kubernetes internals
• A proven record of exceptional achievements and impact
• Strong Terraform skills—you've managed real infrastructure as code
• Hands-on experience with observability tools: OpenTelemetry, Datadog, Dash0, Braintrust, distributed tracing, metrics, structured logging
• You've been on-call, and you've built systems that made on-call better
• You think like a product manager for internal tools, where the product is developer (and agent) productivity
• Willingness to work hard, move fast, and grow quickly in a rapidly changing environment
• A humble attitude, an eagerness to help your colleagues, and a desire to do whatever it takes to make the team succeed

🏖️ Benefits

• Competitive salary
• Stock options
• Flexible work arrangements
• Professional development opportunities
• Access to cutting-edge technology and tools
• Collaborative and dynamic work environment

🏠 Location

• United States
• Atlanta (nice to have, not required)
