Cloud Platform Engineer

This opportunity is for those who design cloud systems from first principles, and who understand that architectural decisions don’t just solve problems, they shape entire engineering organizations.

We’re looking for a Cloud Platform Engineer with research-level understanding of distributed systems, someone who is equally comfortable reasoning about consistency, failure domains and scaling limits as they are building production platforms that support AI-driven, data-intensive and safety-critical systems.

The role is based in the USA and requires relocation.

What you’ll do

– Design and evolve cloud platforms for large-scale data ingestion and processing

– Build end-to-end pipelines: edge/system → cloud → analytics / ML → deployment

– Reason about consistency models, failure modes, scalability and observability

– Design DevOps / DevSecOps foundations as system properties, not afterthoughts

– Own long-term architectural decisions used by multiple senior engineering teams

– Collaborate closely with engineers working on AI, autonomy and embedded systems

What you bring

– Research-level understanding of distributed systems, cloud platforms or data infrastructure

– Ability to explain why an architecture works, not just how it is implemented

– Experience designing platforms that others build entire products or programs on

– Strong grounding in reliability, security, data lineage and system evolution

– Comfort acting as technical authority in ambiguous, high-impact environments

– Willingness to relocate to the USA

Who you are

With your extensive experience in the field and history of building for large scale, you think globally, not locally. Before you even start you already have a plan for designing for failure, scale and change, not just today’s requirements. Simplicity and the user's perspective drives your work forward. You’re calm under responsibility and precise in your reasoning.
