Software Engineer, InfrastructureActive

The opportunity

As a Software Engineer on the Infrastructure team at SpaceXAI, you'll own the foundational cloud and networking layer that every service runs on: network foundations, container orchestration, edge and security infrastructure, and the compute runtimes that power production.

What you'll do

  • Owning Kubernetes and cluster foundations: building and operating production clusters with proper service mesh, scaling, and ingress that teams can confidently deploy to.

  • Designing the geo-deployment architecture: building a replicable, robust process for deploying geo-replicated services across cloud regions and providers.

  • Building edge and security infrastructure: designing the networking and security layer at the edge to protect against abuse, manage rate limiting, and optimize traffic routing.

  • Owning cost management and optimization: building attribution systems, identifying waste, and ensuring we're making smart tradeoffs between cost and reliability across all cloud spend.

  • Unifying the compute platform: defining a single, opinionated container orchestration strategy so every team gets consistent, reliable deployments out of the box.

  • You have deep experience with AWS (or comparable cloud providers), especially: VPC networking, EKS/K8s, and IAM/account management.

What they're looking for

  • You've built and operated production Kubernetes clusters at scale, including: service mesh, autoscaling, and multi-region deployments.
  • You understand edge networking, CDN/WAF architectures, and traffic management at the infrastructure level.
  • You care about infrastructure-as-code, reproducibility, and making it easy: for other teams to self-serve reliable infrastructure.
  • Experience with cost optimization at scale or infrastructure migration/unification is a plus.
