Principal Infrastructure Engineer | US, Remote | Competitive Salary and Equity Package
Overview
A fast-growing AI infrastructure company is building a new cloud platform for large-scale accelerated computing environments.
They are looking for a Principal Infrastructure Engineer to lead the design and build of the bare-metal provisioning and infrastructure control-plane layer. You will make key architectural decisions, create repeatable automation and turn newly deployed hardware into secure, reliable, customer-ready capacity.
This is a senior, hands-on individual contributor role. You will set technical direction while remaining close to the code, working across infrastructure, networking, Kubernetes, security, and reliability engineering.
Why Join?
- Shape a greenfield cloud infrastructure platform.
- Own major architectural and build-versus-buy decisions.
- Work with large-scale GPU and accelerated-compute environments.
- Lead technically without moving into people management.
- Influence how new infrastructure sites are deployed and scaled.
