Senior Infrastructure Engineer

This is an opportunity for a senior infrastructure professional to take ownership of the architecture, reliability, and continued evolution of a modern cloud environment. You will lead infrastructure strategy across AWS and Azure, supporting AI-powered and SaaS products in a high-growth technology organization. Working closely with engineering leadership and cross-functional teams, you will shape technical standards, strengthen security, and improve operational practices. You will also drive automation across the software development lifecycle, helping engineering teams build, test, and deploy more efficiently. The role combines hands-on technical expertise with architectural leadership and the opportunity to influence how infrastructure decisions are made. It is particularly suited to an independent problem-solver who enjoys taking initiative, improving systems, and helping others succeed in a remote-first environment.
