As the Founding Cloud Infrastructure Engineer, you will build the foundational layer for AI agents to reason over complex enterprise data. You will design and own multi-cloud architecture, production Kubernetes, and GPU-intensive ML pipelines from scratch, moving beyond maintenance to shape the core infrastructure of the next decade of agentic AI.
Founding Cloud Infrastructure Engineer at Series A AI Context Infrastructure Startup
95% of enterprise AI pilots fail because agents lack domain context. Join a Series A San Mateo startup founded by industry veterans from LinkedIn and Visa to build the missing middle layer. As the Founding Cloud Infrastructure Engineer, you'll design the multi-cloud, Kubernetes-driven, and GPU-optimized systems that power real-time reasoning for AI agents. This isn't a maintenance gig; it's a build-from-scratch role with founding-team equity, working alongside an elite senior engineering team to define how the next decade of agentic AI operates at scale.

Series A San Mateo AI context infrastructure startup founded by ex-VP Engineering (Truera/Visa) and ex-LinkedIn Director
Responsibilities
What you will do
- Design and operate multi-cloud infrastructure using AWS, GCP, and Azure with a focus on VPC networking, IAM, and automated capacity planning.
- Architect and manage production Kubernetes clusters including node pool management, service mesh, and GitOps workflows using Terraform, Argo, and Istio.
- Build and scale distributed ML infrastructure for model serving using Ray and Ray Serve, optimizing GPU scheduling and performance for inference.
Candidate profile
Who this is a fit for
- 3-10+ years of infrastructure experience with deep expertise in production-grade Kubernetes, Docker, Helm, and Infrastructure-as-Code using Terraform.
- Hands-on experience building distributed ML systems or GPU-intensive workloads using frameworks like Ray and Ray Serve in a production environment.
- Strong software engineering background in Python or Go with the ability to build automated CI/CD pipelines and full-stack observability using Prometheus and Grafana.
What makes it remarkable
Why this role is remarkable
- Founding opportunity to build a high-scale infrastructure layer from the ground up alongside senior engineers from LinkedIn, Meta, Visa, and Branch.
- Solve the critical "context gap" in enterprise AI by engineering systems that support real-time inference and domain intelligence for autonomous agents.
- High-velocity startup environment with Series A funding and active deployments across major enterprise sectors like insurance, travel, and technology.
