About the role
- Alloy's Infrastructure Team is a small team (6 engineers) responsible for a large and growing infrastructure footprint: 15+ Kubernetes clusters, 100+ databases, dozens of services, and complex data organization.
- Our challenge isn't just scale-it's making that scale reliable, secure, and operable with less manual work.
- We're looking for engineers who enjoy turning complex, fragile systems into automated, self-service platforms with strong safety guarantees.
Responsibilities
- Design and build systems to automate infrastructure management at scale (provisioning, upgrades, migrations)
- Build internal tooling and platforms that enable safe self-service changes for other engineers
- Implement and evolve systems for deploying and running applications in Kubernetes
- Participate in on-call rotations-but focus on building systems that prevent incidents, not just respond to them
- Strong software engineering skills-you build systems, not just scripts
- Care about building infrastructure that other engineers can use safely and confidently
Requirements
- 10+ years of experience in infrastructure, SRE, or software engineering roles
- Experience managing production infrastructure at scale (cloud + containerized systems)
- Experience with Infrastructure as Code (e.g., Terraform)
- Experience running and troubleshooting distributed systems (Docker/Kubernetes)
- Experience with observability and debugging tools (Datadog, CloudWatch, ELK/EFK, etc.)
- Proficiency in at least one programming language (Python, Go, JavaScript, etc.)
- Experience participating in on-call rotations and improving systems based on incidents
Nice to have
