## Description

As a Senior Infrastructure Engineer on our team, you'll not just be responsible for supporting our Kubernetes fleet, but also making software changes to the core product in order to support the use cases that we need. This is a hybrid software and infrastructure role, meaning that sometimes the best solution is to fix the product, not automate around the deficiencies. This is a role for someone that enjoys having the freedom to operate across the whole stack, and the ability to affect the architecture, security, and functionality of the product., * Re-architect and maintain the ever growing needs on our Kubernetes fleet and its supporting infrastructure.

 * Continually improve and expand the continuous delivery of the product.
 * Work in cross-functional teams (from hardware to cloud) to build new capabilities for the platform.
 * Work directly with security to continually improve the practices and controls that will keep our customer's data and drones safe.
 * Drive cost saving initiatives early into Skydio's product, so that it scales over time.
