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.
