Salary: $200,000 - $400,000 USD + Equity + Benefits

This is an opportunity to join a high-growth technology business at an early stage, where infrastructure is central to the success of advanced simulation and decision-making systems. You will have direct ownership of core systems, working in a fast-paced and high-performing environment where impact is visible and measurable.

The Company
They are an early-stage technology company building complex simulation platforms designed to support strategic decision-making. With a small and highly specialised team, they prioritise hiring exceptional talent and maintaining a strong ownership culture. The business operates with pace and intensity, offering engineers the chance to shape systems from the ground up. Their environment is collaborative, ambitious, and focused on delivering meaningful technical outcomes.

The Role
You will work across infrastructure systems that underpin large-scale simulations and data-driven workflows, owning projects end-to-end and enabling engineering and research teams to operate efficiently.
Responsibilities include:
  • Designing and building scalable, high-performance infrastructure systems
  • Improving reliability, performance, and efficiency across data and compute pipelines
  • Identifying and resolving bottlenecks across cloud, networking, and storage layers
  • Developing internal tools and platforms to enhance developer productivity
  • Supporting the transition of experimental systems into production-ready infrastructure
  • Owning infrastructure decisions from architecture through to deployment and optimisation

Your Skills and Experience
You will bring a strong foundation in infrastructure engineering within high-performance or fast-scaling environments.
Key requirements:
  • Strong commercial experience building and scaling cloud-based infrastructure
  • Experience with AWS, Terraform, and Infrastructure as Code principles
  • Proficiency in Rust, Python, or similar programming languages
  • Strong understanding of distributed systems, performance optimisation, and reliability
  • Experience working closely with compute, networking, and storage systems
  • Ability to operate in fast-paced, ambiguous environments with a high level of ownership
  • Experience supporting systems through growth and increasing complexity

What They Offer
  • Relocation support where applicable
  • The opportunity to work on technically complex systems at scale
  • A high-impact role within a small, high-performing team
  • Clear scope for ownership, progression, and technical influence

How to Apply
If you are interested in building scalable infrastructure in a high-impact environment, please apply to discuss the opportunity further.
