About the Role
As an Staff Software Engineer on Cloud Infrastructure, you'll set the technical direction for the cloud platform that underpins every system at CLEAR, from AWS networking and Kubernetes to staging environments and infrastructure for AI workloads. You'll design durable, cross-team patterns and standards that make it faster and safer for every engineer at CLEAR to build, ship, and operate reliable software.
Responsibilities
- Drive the technical direction and long-term architecture of CLEAR's cloud platform across AWS, Kubernetes (EKS), networking, and Infrastructure as Code, balancing reliability, security, cost, and simplicity
- Lead cross-functional initiatives end to end, including production-like staging environments and infrastructure for AI workloads, from RFC and design through rollout and adoption
- Define and evolve infrastructure engineering standards (IaC patterns, safe rollout and rollback, observability, network and security baselines) that teams across engineering adopt
- Act as a product owner for the platform: gather feedback from engineering teams, find the systemic pain points, and build self-service capabilities that remove toil
- Raise the engineering bar by mentoring engineers, leading design and incident reviews, and turning lessons learned into lasting system improvements
Requirements
- Deep AWS expertise (VPC design, routing, Security Groups, load balancing, Route53, IAM) and designing multi-account, multi-environment platforms
- Experience with edge and network security tooling (e.g., Cloudflare, Palo Alto) is a plus
- Designing and building production software systems such as services, APIs, and internal developer tools in Python, Java or similar, with strong fundamentals in system design, testing, and maintainable code
- Build systems, not just configure them
- Running and evolving production EKS clusters, including cluster networking, ingress, service mesh (e.g., Istio), and cluster lifecycle management
- Writing production-grade software in Python or another modern language
- Building reusable, well-tested Pulumi (or Terraform/CloudFormation) modules
- Designing for failure, safe rollouts, leading incident response, and instrumenting systems with tools like Datadog
- Driving consensus across teams through RFCs and design reviews, communicating clear trade-offs, and mentoring other engineers
