ABOUT YOU - You are a builder at heart — curious, pragmatic, and motivated by hard infrastructure problems. You thrive in early-stage environments where speed and ownership are critical.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES Multi-Cloud Architecture - Design infrastructure that runs consistently across cloud providers. - Extend our AWS platform to support customer-owned deployments across AWS, GCP, and Azure. Infrastructure as Code - Build and maintain infrastructure with Terraform or similar tools. - Develop automated, reproducible deployment pipelines for internal and customer environments. Customer Deployments - Work with enterprise customers to deploy Clarasight into their cloud accounts. - Build tooling and documentation that makes deployments scalable and repeatable. Reliability & Observability - Design monitoring, logging, and alerting across distributed environments. - Establish best practices for security, networking, and access management. Engineering Enablement - Build internal tooling that makes it easier for product engineers to deploy and operate services. - Help define DevOps and CI/CD best practices. YOU'LL BE A GREAT FIT IF YOU… - Have 4+ years in infrastructure, platform engineering, or DevOps. - Have strong hands-on AWS experience and familiarity with IaC tools like Terraform. - Have built CI/CD pipelines and automated deployment systems. - Have designed or operated production systems in cloud environments. - Thrive in fast-paced, early-stage startup environments. NICE TO HAVES - Multi-cloud experience (GCP, Azure). - Enterprise or customer-managed deployment experience. - Kubernetes or container orchestration experience. - Multi-tenant SaaS infrastructure background. - TypeScript and/or Python development experience.
