As a Field Infrastructure Engineer, you'll deploy, configure, and troubleshoot customer environments, collaborating with teams to deliver reliable systems and improving developer velocity.
Unstructured builds open-source and commercial tools that enable developers to preprocess and transform unstructured data — PDFs, HTML, Word docs, images, and more — for AI/ML pipelines. Our solutions power production-grade, scalable generative AI use cases at leading enterprises.
We’re a team of builders obsessed with performance, simplicity, and reliability. If you’re excited by complex systems, cutting-edge ML infrastructure, and high-impact problems, we’d love to meet you.
We’re looking for a Field Infrastructure Engineer to provide deployment expertise, scaling, and support of our platform across a range of customer enterprise environments. Working closely with our users, this role is essential to delivering resilient, high performance implementations in the field, and will collaborate closely with customer Engineering and Infrastructure teams.
As a Field Infrastructure Engineer, you’ll work across a modern stack (Python, Kubernetes, Helm, CI/CD with GitHub Actions, etc.), provide critical product feedback, influence infrastructure decisions, and help shape reliability across our growing customer base.
***Ideally based in San Francisco to join our founding engineering office team 3x/week, but open to flexibility for exceptional candidates.***

Deep expertise in cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure).
Hands-on experience with Kubernetes, Docker, and container orchestration.
Strong skills in Linux systems, networking, and scripting (e.g., Bash, Python, Go).
Proficiency with Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform, CloudFormation, Ansible, etc.).
Familiarity with monitoring, logging, and observability practices and tools.
Experience supporting production systems and operating in high-scale environments.
Good communication skills.
Bonus Points
Experience with machine learning infrastructure or data pipeline systems.

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene
Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.
Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech
- Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
- Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
- Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
- Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
- Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
- Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
