Senior Infrastructure Engineer
📍 San Francisco, CA (On-site) | 💼 Full-time | Visa Sponsorship Available
About the Role
Our client is looking for a Senior Infrastructure Engineer with 6 years of experience scaling large, reliable systems at startups that have grown to hyperscale. The ideal candidate is deeply technical, high-agency, and thrives in fast-moving environments. You’ll build and maintain auto-scaling infrastructure for RL training systems, working closely with AI researchers to ensure reliability and performance.
If you have hands-on expertise with Nomad, HashiCorp, or Kubernetes, and a strong appreciation for AI research and infrastructure, this is a rare opportunity to own critical systems at the frontier of AI.
Bonus points if you’ve worked with code sandboxes, function execution in the cloud, or provisioning compute for large-scale training runs.
What You’ll Do
- Build and maintain auto-scaling infrastructure underpinning RL training systems for major hyperscalers.
- Own and drive scalability/reliability of critical infrastructure components.
- Partner with AI researchers and engineers to align infra with research needs.
- Design and implement systems for large-scale training runs.
- Mentor junior engineers and bring your experience (“battle scars”) to operationalize the stack.
What We’re Looking For
- 6 years of experience scaling large, reliable systems.
- Proven background in startups at hyperscale growth.
- Strong skills with Nomad, HashiCorp, Kubernetes.
- Comfort building auto-scaling infra for RL training systems.
- Deep technical expertise, fast execution, and ability to delegate to fleets of coding agents.
- Appreciation for AI research and low-level infra.
- Bonus: experience with code sandboxes, function execution in the cloud, or provisioning compute for large-scale runs.
