About the Role

Pragmatike is hiring on behalf of a fast-growing AI startup recognized as a Top 10 GenAI company by GTM Capital, founded by MIT CSAIL researchers.

We are searching for a Senior Cloud Engineer (Multicloud) with deep, hands-on experience building, operating, and scaling production infrastructure across AWS, GCP, and Azure. You will work directly on the cloud and platform layer supporting large-scale, distributed AI systems used by Fortune 500 customers.

This role is ideal for an engineer who has operated real multicloud environments in production—not someone limited to a single provider. You will be responsible for building reliable, scalable systems while navigating the complexity of differing cloud primitives, networking models, and operational trade-offs.

What Youll Do

• Build, deploy, and operate production infrastructure across AWS, GCP, and Azure.

• Maintain consistent environments using Infrastructure as Code (Terraform preferred).

• Deploy and operate Kubernetes clusters and containerized workloads across multiple cloud providers.

• Design and manage cloud networking (VPC/VNet design, peering, load balancing, private connectivity).

• Implement monitoring, logging, alerting, and incident response for multicloud systems.

• Optimize performance, reliability, and cost across providers through autoscaling and capacity planning.

• Support AI training and inference workloads in multicloud environments.

• Troubleshoot complex production issues spanning compute, networking, storage, and Kubernetes layers.

• Collaborate closely with AI, backend, and platform teams to support production systems.

What Were Looking For

• 5+ years of experience as a Cloud / Platform / Infrastructure Engineer.

• Hands-on production experience with AWS, GCP, and Azure (deep expertise in at least one).

• Strong experience running Kubernetes in production across multiple clouds.

• Strong Terraform experience managing multicloud infrastructure.

• Solid understanding of cloud networking differences and security models across providers.

• Experience operating distributed systems with on-call ownership.

• Ability to work across provider-specific services while maintaining consistent abstractions.

Bonus Points

• Experience supporting AI/ML or data-intensive workloads in production.

• Exposure to GPU-enabled cloud infrastructure or high-performance compute.

• Experience with CI/CD automation and release pipelines.

• Familiarity with compliance requirements (SOC 2, ISO 27001).

• Startup experience or comfort in fast-moving, ambiguous environments.

Why This Role Will Pivot Your Career

• Research pedigree: MIT CSAIL founders with deep systems and AI expertise.

• Customer impact: Infrastructure powering Fortune 500 companies.

• Industry momentum: Alumni behind major acquisitions (MosaicML Databricks, Run:AI NVIDIA, W&B CoreWeave).

• Funding & growth: Oversubscribed seed round, next funding planned for 2026.

• Ownership: Operate and scale real multicloud production systems.

• Technical depth: Solve hard reliability and scaling problems across providers.

Benefits

• Competitive salary & equity options

• Sign-on bonus

• Health, Dental, and Vision

• 401(k)
