About the Role
We are seeking a hands-on Infrastructure Tech Lead who thrives in building from 0‑1 and driving execution, directly contributing production-level systems while shaping our core technical foundation. You will collaborate closely with the founding team to architect, deploy, and scale the cloud infrastructure powering F2's AI-driven enterprise analytics platform.
Responsibilities
- Architect and implement foundational cloud infrastructure from scratch: compute, networking, CI/CD, and observability.
- Write infrastructure-as-code and ship production systems.
- Define and execute the technical vision and multi-year roadmap for our AWS-based platform.
- Operate and scale our workflow orchestration layer (Temporal), streaming pipelines, vector search infrastructure, and high-throughput LLM inference paths.
- Build infrastructure that meets SOC 2 requirements from day one: multi-tenant isolation, secrets management, least-privilege IAM, audit logging, and encrypted data flows.
- Set and uphold standards for IaC, deployment pipelines, incident response, SLOs, and on-call practices.
- Mentor engineers to foster a culture of reliable, observable, cost-efficient systems.
- Partner with product, backend, frontend, and enterprise customers to translate requirements into pragmatic infrastructure solutions.
Requirements
- 7+ years building and scaling mission-critical cloud infrastructure on AWS and/or GCP, with demonstrated experience architecting platforms from the ground up.
- Production experience with ECS/Fargate, Kubernetes, or equivalent: including service networking, autoscaling, zero-downtime deploys, and multi-environment release strategies.
- Strong command of Terraform, Pulumi, or CloudFormation, plus CI/CD pipeline design (GitHub Actions or similar) and GitOps workflows.
- Familiarity operating Postgres at scale (RDS, Supabase, or self-managed), Redis, message/workflow systems (Temporal, SQS, Kafka), and ideally vector databases or LLM serving infrastructure.
- Practical experience with SOC 2 (or similar) compliance programs, IAM design, VPC architecture, secrets management, and multi-tenant data isolation.
- Thrive in environments where you own systems end-to-end, iterate rapidly, and deliver production-ready solutions.
- Measure success in uptime, latency, and dollars saved.
- Passionate builder who enjoys solving complex distributed-systems challenges and iterating toward clear, impactful goals.
