Remote: Hybrid

The non-negotiable is deep, hands-on infrastructure expertise spanning hybrid cloud and self-hosted systems. You will architect and maintain our unique infrastructure combining AWS CDN, bare metal servers, and Kubernetes clusters. This is not just maintenance work: you will establish company-wide DevOps policy, build security-hardened environments, and create the documentation and processes that scale with us. You will design our CI/CD pipelines, implement zero-trust networking, and guide the technical team on how to keep our production systems robustly online. This role is hands-on, autonomous, and sets the standard for how we approach infrastructure as the company grows. What You'll Build Hybrid Infrastructure Management: Architect and maintain our unique infrastructure spanning AWS CDN, bare metal servers, and Kubernetes clusters for computationally intensive facial analysis workloads. CI/CD Pipeline Architecture: Design and implement CircleCI or Jenkins pipelines with comprehensive build testing, versioning, and change logging. Zero-Trust Networking: Build and maintain mesh topology networks using Tailscale or Wireguard to securely connect our hybrid infrastructure. Security-First Culture: Establish and enforce security policies including key rotation, access controls, compliance frameworks, and employee security management. Infrastructure as Code: Document and codify all infrastructure decisions, creating repeatable, auditable deployments. Containerization Strategy: Implement and optimize Docker/K8s deployments for our AI/ML workloads. Cost Optimization: Continue our approach of strategic compute placement using owned, rented or borrowed infrastructure where it makes financial sense without sacrificing security or reliability. Observability & Monitoring: Implement comprehensive logging, monitoring,



and alerting across our distributed systems.
