About the company

Our client is a fast-growing software company.

The role

Raydar is recruiting for this role on behalf of our client. Own the rollout of a software platform into customer-managed environments, from cloud private networks to on-premises hardware. Work directly with customer technical and security teams to plan, troubleshoot and automate deployments, and turn one-off efforts into repeatable patterns.

What you'll do

- Lead deployments end to end in customer environments, covering planning, configuration, testing and rollout across private cloud and on-premises setups.

- Work directly with customer engineers and senior stakeholders, including through shared channels, calls and occasional site visits.

- Diagnose and resolve customer-specific infrastructure problems such as container orchestration misconfigurations, cloud identity and access edge cases, and networking faults.

- Build monitoring, telemetry and automation that make deployments repeatable and scalable.

- Learn the hardware behind machine learning workloads so they can be deployed on infrastructure the customer controls.

Requirements

What we're looking for

- 3 to 5+ years of infrastructure engineering experience.

- Past ownership of core container orchestration and cloud infrastructure at a high-bar technology company or startup.

- Deep production expertise with Kubernetes and Terraform.

- Strong knowledge of at least one major cloud platform, networking and infrastructure as code.

- Clear communication and the ability to diagnose problems live with external engineering teams.

- A standout track record, such as fast promotions, notable open-source work or founding-engineer scope.

Bonus points

- Experience delivering software into environments that customers control, such as private cloud, air-gapped or on-premises installs.

- A background in a small, rapidly scaling company.

- A technical degree from a strong program.
