Design and automate deployment pipelines, orchestrate containers at scale, and ensure compliance for cloud and on-prem environments.
**About the Role**
As a **Founding Senior Software Engineer - Infrastructure** , you’ll be the owner of our build, release, and runtime foundations. You’ll design and automate deployment pipelines for both cloud SaaS and on-prem environments, orchestrate containers at scale, and ship reliable releases that meet compliance requirements. You’ll work cross-functionally with product, security, and customer teams—then turn what you learn in the field into reusable platform capabilities.
**Key Responsibilities**
- Own CI/CD end-to-end: design, implement, and operate pipelines with blue/green, canary, and phased rollouts; define graceful draining for HA systems. - Architect, maintain, and harden Kubernetes-based runtime (Docker, Kubernetes, Helm), including multi-cluster and multi-tenant concerns. - Manage cloud deployments across AWS/Azure/GCP and coordinate with on-prem infrastructure teams; standardize with IaC (e.g., Terraform). - Implement robust observability (metrics, logs, traces), SLOs/error budgets, and automated rollback/one-click restore. - Partner with compliance to integrate SOC 2 / ISO 27001 / HIPAA controls into pipelines (artifact signing, SBOMs, change management, access/keys). - Deploy at customer sites (cloud or on-prem), collaborating with client teams for integration, runbooks, and handover. - Lead incident response & postmortems; drive resilience, cost, and performance improvements. - Document release processes and platform conventions; codify best practices into tooling and templates.
**You Might Thrive If You**
- Have 3+ years of deep experience with a major cloud (AWS, Azure, or GCP) and container orchestration (Kubernetes, Helm). - Build production-grade CI/CD with GitHub Actions / GitLab CI / Jenkins (or similar), including complex rollout strategies. - Have shipped both SaaS and on-prem solutions, navigating networking, security, and environment drift. - Can integrate compliance and security into delivery (secret management, image signing, policy-as-code). - Are comfortable with networking fundamentals, security hardening, and performance tuning. - Communicate clearly, move fast in ambiguity, and enjoy being the responsible adult in prod.
