About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Persona's infrastructure team builds the foundation that everything else runs on: cloud platforms, Kubernetes, databases, CI/CD pipelines, networking, and observability.
As an Infrastructure Engineering Resident, you'll work on real production systems from day one, contributing to the reliability and performance of our identity platform alongside seasoned engineers.
Solve real problems on production infrastructure, not simulations.
You'll embed with one of our infrastructure teams, pick up starter tickets, and build working knowledge of the tools that actually run production, such as cloud platforms, container orchestration, CI/CD, and more.
By the end, you'll have the fundamentals and a clear path to a full-time infrastructure engineering role.
