Senior Infrastructure Engineer
Axion, New York, NY, United States
About the Role
We’re seeking a Senior Infrastructure Engineer to shape and scale our cloud infrastructure. You’ll design, implement, and maintain CI/CD pipelines, automate deployment workflows, ensure system reliability and security, and support rapid development cycles. This hands‑on role is ideal for someone who thrives in a fast‑paced, high‑impact environment and is excited to build foundational DevOps systems from the ground up. You’ll work closely with engineering leadership to drive infrastructure decisions and enable product teams to ship faster with confidence. Must reside in EST or CST.
Key Responsibilities
Design, build, and maintain Axion’s cloud infrastructure on GCP, ensuring high availability, scalability, and security
Own and evolve our Kubernetes‑based container orchestration platform and Terraform infrastructure‑as‑code practices
Build and improve CI/CD pipelines, developer tooling, and deployment automation to help engineering teams ship with speed and confidence
Establish and maintain observability across our stack—logging, metrics, alerting, and tracing—and lead incident response efforts
Define and track SLOs and SLIs, driving a culture of reliability and continuous improvement
Contribute to security hardening, compliance posture, and cost optimization across our cloud environment
Requirements
4+ years of experience in DevOps, SRE, or infrastructure engineering
Deep hands‑on experience with GCP (Cloud Run, GKE, Cloud SQL, Pub/Sub, or similar services)
Strong proficiency with Kubernetes—cluster management, networking, scaling, and troubleshooting
Solid Terraform experience—writing modular, reusable, production‑grade infrastructure‑as‑code
Experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines and developer tooling
Strong background in observability tooling (Datadog, Prometheus, Grafana, or equivalent)
Comfortable operating in fast‑paced, ambiguous environments with a bias toward action
Experience at a venture‑backed startup preferred
Must be based in the Eastern or Central time zones
Nice to Haves
Experience using agents to accelerate delivery
Experience managing infrastructure for FedRAMP environments
Who You Are
You’re a builder and operator who thrives in fast‑moving, high‑accountability environments. You take pride in getting things done thoughtfully, efficiently, and without drama. You’re energized by ambiguity, skilled at bringing clarity, and comfortable flexing between strategy and execution.
You value feedback—giving it, receiving it, and acting on it—and you see collaboration as a competitive advantage, not a burden. You’re low‑ego but high‑agency: you care about winning as a team more than being right individually. You move quickly, communicate directly, and make decisions grounded in impact and data.
You don’t need constant direction—you create momentum. You take ownership for outcomes, and you expect the same from those around you.
What We Offer
Work with cutting‑edge AI technology making a tangible impact in manufacturing
Collaborative, mission‑driven team and supportive leadership
Generous time off
Competitive compensation, equity, and benefits
Lunch stipend and more
