Cloud Infrastructure Engineer

As a Cloud Infrastructure Engineer, you will be responsible for designing and implementing load balancers, optimizing traffic management across multiple API providers, building isolated development environments, and collaborating on scalable infrastructure solutions. Your expertise will significantly enhance our infrastructure capabilities.

To be successful as a Cloud Infrastructure Engineer with us, you should have strong experience with isolated development environments using technologies like Kubernetes or Firecracker, proficiency in TypeScript or similar languages, and a solid networking background. Knowledge of cloud platforms such as AWS, GCP, or Azure is also crucial.

In this role, the Cloud Infrastructure Engineer collaborates closely with a senior mentor and team members to brainstorm and develop scalable infrastructure solutions. This partnership is vital for integrating third-party sandbox environments and tackling complex challenges that arise.

A Cloud Infrastructure Engineer should be proficient in TypeScript or similar scripting languages, as this skill is essential for managing infrastructure effectively and writing automation scripts for deployment and maintenance tasks.

As a Cloud Infrastructure Engineer, you can look forward to a remote work environment that promotes flexibility and independence. We encourage our engineers to take initiative and deliver solutions while benefiting from a supportive team culture and mentoring opportunities.

When answering this question, highlight specific projects where you've utilized Kubernetes or Firecracker for building isolated development environments. Discuss the challenges faced, the architecture designed, and the results achieved to demonstrate your expertise.

In your response, detail your thought process in designing load balancers, including how you analyze traffic patterns, mitigate rate limits from API providers, and ensure reliability in load balancing solutions across various services.
