Cloud Infra is a group that enables our Product engineers to build, and deploy Synthesia state-of-the-art technologies. You can expect to work across cloud infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, observability, and tooling, with autonomy to identify and fix bottlenecks in a fast-moving AI company. This is a hands-on senior IC role (roughly level 5 scope). You'll be joining a growing team that's shifting from enablement to direct execution, and you'll help shape how we scale our infrastructure over the next year. What you'll do * Maintain and scale Kubernetes (EKS) clusters - managing workloads, deployments, and monitoring at production scale. * Manage and evolve our AWS (and some GCP) cloud environments, balancing reliability, cost, and velocity. * Own and improve our CI/CD systems (GitHub Actions on our self-hosted AWS runners). * Define and implement Infrastructure as Code using Terraform and Terragrunt. * Strengthen observability via Datadog and enable teams to understand their systems in production. * Collaborate with Product Engineers to deploy and monitor production services. * Drive FinOps practices: vendor management, cost allocation, and financial feedback loops. * Contribute to internal tooling, automation, and reporting platforms that improve developer experience. You'll thrive in this role if you have: * Deep hands-on DevOps / SRE / Platform experience in a SaaS or high-traffic product environment. * Strong Kubernetes experience - spinning up and managing clusters, not just consuming them. * Proven AWS and/or GCP expertise. * Proficiency with Terraform / Terragrunt, Linux, and Python scripting. * Strong understanding of CI/CD design patterns. * Experience with Datadog or similar observability tooling. * Comfortable operating autonomously in ambiguous environments. * A pragmatic mindset - focusing on scalable, maintainable solutions over theoretical perfection. * A bias toward execution and written communication, especially in remote contexts. Bonus points * Familiarity with Temporal.io, or workflow orchestration frameworks. * Light frontend or tooling development experience (React, Node.js). * Previous work supporting AI research or data-intensive environments. Other important info * This is a remote role from an EU country, UK or Switzerland or hybrid from one of our London, Munich, Copenhagen, or Zurich hubs. * This is full-time employment only - no contractors possible - usually through OysterHR or a local entity. * We only sponsor visas if you are in the UK or some EU countries already. ## Related Videos - [Shipping Faster with Less: Render on Cloud Hosting, AI Workloads, and the Future of DevOps](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1894-shipping-faster-with-less-render-on-cloud-hosting-ai-workloads-and-the-future-of-devops) - [Docker network without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1418-docker-network-without-docker) - [Innovating Developer Tools with AI: Insights from GitHub Next](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1268-innovating-developer-tools-with-ai-insights-from-github-next) - [From DevOps to Scaled DevOps: How We’re Rebuilding Continuous Delivery as a Platform](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100018-from-devops-to-scaled-devops-how-we-re-rebuilding-continuous-delivery-as-a-platform) - [#90DaysOfDevOps - The DevOps Learning Journey](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/548-90daysofdevops-the-devops-learning-journey) - [The Software Engineer 2030: From Coder To AI Orchestrator? - Patrick Schnell](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1825-the-software-engineer-2030-from-coder-to-ai-orchestrator-patrick-schnell) ## Related Articles - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers) - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs) - [Navigating the AI Shift](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/629-navigating-the-ai-shift) - [Dev Digest 121 - AI goes offline](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/456-dev-digest-121-ai-goes-offline) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated)
