## Description

We're helping our client hire one of their first dedicated infrastructure engineers. You'd take ownership of the systems that keep a fast-growing, high-volume AI platform reliable, while staying hands-on across the stack. This suits someone who's comfortable with large data volumes and ambiguity, and who can get productive quickly without a lot of hand-holding.

What you'll be doing

 * Owning reliability and scale for the distributed systems behind high-volume data ingestion and real-time AI agents
 * Building and improving ETL pipelines and data infrastructure on AWS, Kubernetes, Postgres, and ClickHouse
 * Working across the stack in Python, TypeScript, or Java on automation, internal tooling, and product features alongside product and design
 * Sharing a 24/7 on-call rotation, supporting customers, and leading incident response as new enterprise accounts go live
 * Strengthening infrastructure-as-code (Pulumi), CI/CD, and observability so the team can ship quickly and safely
