Position Overview

We are looking for an Infrastructure & Data Engineer with 5+ years of experience building and maintaining cloud infrastructure, data platforms, and production data pipelines. You will develop and operate reliable, scalable infrastructure that supports data processing, analytics, and other downstream applications. This is an engineering-focused role requiring strong cloud infrastructure skills, coding ability, database knowledge, and experience working with modern data and DevOps technologies.

You’ll join an AI-native engineering team that pushes modern tools hard, operates with high autonomy, and moves quickly - without compromising on security, reliability, or sound engineering principles. We actively use AI throughout the engineering lifecycle to accelerate development, investigation, documentation, and operations. At the same time, we care deeply about good architecture, maintainable systems, sensible controls, and knowing when not to automate.

- Design, build, and maintain cloud infrastructure and data platforms, primarily on GCP.

- Develop and maintain ETL/ELT data pipelines and orchestration workflows.

- Build and manage infrastructure using Terraform and infrastructure-as-code practices.

- Develop data solutions using Python and SQL.

- Work with large-scale datasets using BigQuery, GCS, and other cloud-native services.

- Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions.

- Implement and maintain data lineage, metadata, and data dependency tracking across pipelines and datasets.

- Monitor infrastructure and pipeline health, troubleshoot failures, and optimize reliability, performance, and cost.

- Manage cloud permissions, secrets, service accounts, and infrastructure security.

- Support data consumers, software engineers, analysts, data scientists, and product teams.

- Improve automation, observability, deployment processes, and engineering standards across the platform.
