Senior Cloud Infrastructure Engineer, AI Platform

We are hiring a Senior Cloud Infrastructure Engineer to build the core infrastructure that powers the next generation of AI agents. Our agents must ingest, enrich, and vectorize massive, multi-modal datasets from over 100 customer sources. The core challenge is twofold: how do we do this in a way that is radically cost-efficient, while still allowing agents to deliver thorough responses in seconds?

This position reports to a Senior Manager, Software Engineering and will be 2 days per week hybrid role in our Austin office. We’re looking for someone to join us immediately.

• Build & Optimize for Scale & Cost: Implement and optimize our highly scalable, multi-tenant data ingestion and vectorization pipeline, with a relentless focus on improving cost and performance.

• Implement Robust Monitoring: Create and maintain dashboards, alerts, and logging to ensure system health, identify performance bottlenecks, and provide immediate visibility into production issues.

• Contribute to Millisecond Latency: Be a key contributor in performance tuning across the stack. You will help identify and eliminate bottlenecks in data retrieval, model inference, and agent response times to ensure a snappy, real-time user experience.

• Engineer Multi-Tenant Architectures: Design and implement scalable, secure, and cost-effective multi-tenant infrastructures for our SaaS-based AI products, ensuring strict tenant isolation and fair resource allocation.

• 5+ years of hands-on experience with cloud platforms

• Hands-on experience with cloud platforms, with strong expertise in Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and Infrastructure as Code (e.g., Terraform)

• A demonstrated history of performance analysis, tuning, and infrastructure cost optimization, with the ability to speak about trade-offs and quantified impact

• Experience building or working on multi-tenant SaaS platforms

• Experience setting up end-to-end observability, including logging, metrics, and alerting using tools like Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, or GCP Operations suite

• A fundamental understanding of the challenges in training and serving large machine learning models (e.g., memory constraints, computational complexity)

• Strong understanding of VectorDBs, LLMs, and Agentic Observability tools (Datagrid uses Milvus for our VectorDB and Arize for agent tracing)

• Experience with the Gemini API, specifically managing LLM quotas and load balancing

• Hands-on experience with LLM serving frameworks and optimization techniques (quantization, tensor parallelism, FlashAttention)

• Experience designing multi-tenant SaaS architectures and implementing resource quotas and cost allocation

• High-level knowledge of agentic systems and best practices
