About the Role
Qrypt is seeking a Senior Cloud Engineer to manage the infrastructure and services for their cloud and entropy-as-a-service offering. This role involves building and operating the AWS environment using Terraform, developing cloud services for quantum entropy and keys, and leading the expansion of the cloud interface into customer environments. It is a hands-on position covering both infrastructure and application aspects, with responsibility for cloud construction, deployment, and health monitoring.
Responsibilities
- Own and evolve Qrypt's AWS infrastructure as code with Terraform, including environments, networking, security, and deployment pipelines.
- Design and build cloud services in Rust (with some C++ and Python) for reliable and secure delivery of quantum entropy and keys.
- Lead the deployment of Qrypt's cloud interface into customer environments, developing portable and repeatable deployment patterns.
- Implement monitoring, alerting, and observability to proactively identify and address issues.
- Enhance the reliability, security, and cost-efficiency of the cloud platform as it scales.
- Collaborate with engineering and product teams to align the cloud roadmap and integrate shortcomings into planned work.
- Participate in on-call rotations and ensure operational readiness for built services.
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or a related technical field, and/or relevant work experience.
- 6+ years in cloud/platform engineering with end-to-end ownership of a production cloud environment.
- Strong hands-on AWS experience and expertise with Terraform.
- Ability to build backend/cloud services, not just manage infrastructure.
- Comfortable in Rust or a strong systems language (C++, Go, Python) with a willingness to work in Rust.
- Experience with monitoring/alerting and observability tooling.
- Experience running reliable production services.
- Experience deploying software into varied or customer-controlled environments (containers/Kubernetes, portable IaC).
- Fluency with AI and agent-assisted development workflows, and the judgment to own the correctness of AI-generated output.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills.
- Must be authorized to work in the United States.
- Qrypt does not provide visa sponsorship for this role.
