Amazon Web Services Multi-Cloud Information Technology Low Latency Hardware Infrastructure Marketplace

Job description

  • End-to-End Stack Ownership: Architect, scale, and maintain multi-cloud GPU infrastructure across AWS, GCP, Base10, and AWS Marketplace.
  • Low-Latency Inference: Design and deploy ultra-fast, high-reliability GPU serving systems handling live customer traffic.
  • Enterprise & On-Prem: Deploy, manage, and optimize custom infrastructure setups for tier-1 enterprise clients.
  • Efficiency & Reliability: Continuously optimize GPU utilization, system scaling, and cloud expenditure.

Requirements

  • Tier-1 Technical Pedigree: Strong Computer Science/Engineering foundation from a top-tier institute with deep systems-level depth.
  • Startup & Zero-to-One Track Record: 2+ years of hands-on infrastructure experience with proven architectural ownership at a high-growth, venture-backed startup or high-value tech company. Must have built scalable infrastructure systems from scratch (not just managed narrow slices like training pipelines).
  • High Ownership & Velocity: Ability to thrive in an intense, high-speed, in-person startup environment (SF Hacker House setup).
  • Location: Based in or willing to relocate to San Francisco (Visa sponsorship available: H-1B, O-1, OPT).
  • This is a full-time, permanent core team role. Applications for contract, C2C, consulting, agency, or short-term engagements will be immediately rejected.
