About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

You'll own — and personally build — the infrastructure that turns Pelico into a system customers depend on: Scale it.
Engineer worker fan-out, backend autoscaling, and database scaling toward the 1-billion-event, 1,000-user bar.
Ship it everywhere. One build, five targets — cloud, on-prem/air-gapped, agentic sandbox, demo, and the field-engineer workstation — via embeddable images, the pelico infra CLI, and multi-config templates, with a real release-and-rollback path.
Operate it. Stand up observability and an incident-response harness — golden signals, SLOs, on-call, MTTR — so Pelico stays up on customer infrastructure.
Run the edge and the AI substrate. Own the API-gateway / identity / edge-proxy runtime and config, and co-own Pelico's AI infrastructure (MCP servers, model registries, prompt/skill libraries, agent harnesses) with our AI-platform squad.
Lead by example. Write the distribution code, the IaC, and the runbooks; pair with your engineers; set the operational bar; and grow the squad as the reliability and leverage you ship earn it.

Requirements

What you’ll need

A track record of owning production infrastructure others build and run on — scalability, packaging/distribution, deployment, and operations
IaC and orchestration — Terraform or Pulumi, Kubernetes, Docker/OCI, and a major cloud (AWS / GCP / Azure / OVH)
SRE / operability — observability (metrics, logs, traces), incident response, SLOs/error budgets, autoscaling
Distributed coordination & backend scaling — you treat coordination as service-level code (fleet/leader protocols, orchestration, lifecycle, backpressure, consistency) and can scale it (Postgres tuning, connection pooling, worker scale-out at large scale)
Hands-on coding — this is a coding seat (coordination is service-level code); we build in Java 25 / Kotlin (Maven reactor); strong here, or a fast learner
A track record of leading infra engineers by example , not by leaving the keyboard

Benefits

Comp & perks

A real ownership mandate over Pelico's scalability and distribution, with equity in a category-defining scale-up
The highest-leverage infrastructure problems in the company, with real customers and real scale
An AI-native engineering culture and a small, elite squad — be challenged, learn, and have fun
