Location & Work Model

This role is based in our San Francisco or Sunnyvale, CA office, or in Bellevue, WA. We work in a high-collaboration environment and ask team members to be on-site a minimum of 3 days per week.

## Description

You'll join a small infrastructure team with broad, shared ownership - the engineers who keep Niantic Spatial running. The team covers the cloud platform, the developer tooling every engineer depends on, and the edge services our customers' requests pass through. You'll work across SRE, infrastructure, and developer platform alongside teammates who know the stack well, and you'll grow into owning parts of it yourself. Because every engineer here builds on what this team provides, your work will also shape how the whole engineering org builds, ships, and operates.

What You'll Do

 * Cloud and SRE: Build and maintain cloud infrastructure as code, and help improve reliability through monitoring, alerting, and service-level objectives.
 * Developer Platform: Help run our source control, CI/CD pipelines, and build infrastructure so engineers can ship quickly and safely.
 * Production Operations: Share on-call, take part in incident response and follow-up, and automate away repetitive operational work.
 * Edge and Delivery: Help run the edge API gateway, CDN, and authentication and authorization systems with the rest of the team.
 * Compute and GPU Management: Help provision and monitor compute and GPU capacity across teams.
 * AI-Assisted Operations: Use AI tools to help build, automate, and maintain our infrastructure, and help shape how the team uses them.
