## Description

As an AI Engineer - Cloud Infrastructure on Traversal's Infrastructure team, you'll design, secure, and operate the core systems that power Traversal's AI products. We already serve Fortune 50 enterprises with large-scale, multi-tenant environments, BYOC deployments, and SOC 2 Type II controls, and we're rapidly scaling.

You'll focus on the building blocks of our Terraform-defined infrastructure and Kubernetes environments, while supporting the complex needs of operating the highly-available, highly-resilient, and cost-efficient platform that supports the Traversal AI SRE agent.

This is a senior, high-impact role: you'll own foundational systems, work across AWS-native infrastructure, cloud networking, Kubernetes environments, Terraform, Helm, Python, and more, shaping how enterprise AI reliability is built and scaled., * System Design & Architecture: Design scalable, reliable infrastructure for AI workloads, inference, data pipelines, and agentic workflows

 * Autoscaling: Scale on real signals (queue lag, in-flight requests, latency); add burst capacity and safe drains
 * Infrastructure as Code: Evolve Terraform+Helm for multi-environment deployments, secrets, policy-as-code, and workload identity
 * Observability: Build and deliver end-to-end visibility into our infrastructure, systems, and applications, and connect it to Traversal's AI SRE agent for self-driving production
 * Security: Partner with our cloud security lead to improve Traversal's security and compliance posture, implementing least privilege principles, JIT access workflows, default-deny egress, auditability, and policy-as-code
