Job Description:

As the first dedicated Infrastructure Engineer at Reducto, you will influence every aspect of our infrastructure from the ground up. You will architect and scale resilient systems for AI and ML workloads, automate cloud infrastructure, and implement monitoring and incident response practices that set the standard for reliability. This role requires technical leadership, hands-on systems engineering, and strong collaboration with our founders and product teams as we build a company around reliability, rapid iteration, and high-impact product delivery.

Job Responsibility:

  • Designing, building, and maintaining highly available, scalable infrastructure to support intensive AI/ML workloads and real-time model deployments
  • Implementing robust monitoring, alerting, and observability systems to ensure system health, performance, and uptime across cloud and on-prem environments
  • Debugging, optimizing, and automating infrastructure for fast iteration and rapid deployment cycles, focusing on both reliability and developer velocity
  • Proactively identifying, investigating, and resolving incidents to minimize downtime and maintain world-class service levels for enterprise customers
  • Collaborating closely with engineers, ML specialists, and founders to shape product, infrastructure, and security strategies

Requirements:

  • Have 5+ years of hands-on experience in building or supporting production-grade infrastructure and reliability processes for high-throughput systems
  • Are comfortable with Python or similar languages
  • Exceptional at working across cloud platforms, container orchestration (e.g., Kubernetes), networking, and storage technologies
  • Build your own tools on the fly to diagnose, experiment, and address reliability problems
  • Bring a quantitative, hands-on approach to system operations, automation, and continuous improvement
  • Are your own worst critic—have an extremely high bar for quality and always aim for robust solutions rather than quick fixes

Nice to have:

  • Prior experience founding a company or building products/infrastructure in early-stage, high-growth environments
  • Excited about automating incident management processes with LLMs/AI
  • Driven, ambitious, and deeply care about both technical excellence and collaborative problem-solving
  • Keep up with the latest trends in cloud, observability, and SRE best practices
  • Passionate about open-source and have contributed tools or automation to reliability communities
  • Have built or optimized monitoring, incident response, or high-performance computing systems for demanding AI/ML, fintech, or enterprise clients
What we offer:
  • Unlimited PTO
  • Free lunch daily at the office
  • Reimbursed Transportation
  • Generous health insurance covering medical, dental, and vision
  • Health and Wellness Budget up to $150/mo reimbursement
  • Parental Leave

Job Responsibility
Job Responsibility
  • Incident Response: Drive work investigating complex technical and process issues on a global scale spanning multiple reliability, security, and continuity disciplines for infrastructure spanning thousands of locations during major incidents/site events on edge, caching, and network infrastructure. This will require you to work closely and effectively with a variety of cross functional teams, managed service providers, and third-party vendor partners
  • Escalation Management: Participate in the global team’s Tier 3 and 4 on-call rotation with the goal of routing issues as needed and understanding how processes or tooling might be improved, skills can be developed, or automation can be implemented to prevent the need to escalate similar issues in the future
  • Operational Leadership: As an operations practitioner within the team you will be expected to drive improvement in everything we do. In this role you will indirectly manage the activities of a large contingent workforce responsible for delivering road mapped projects and executing on recurring activities. You will drive standards across the network and ensure that we are fully compliant to those standards and policies
  • Risk Management and Assurance: Work internally and with upstream partner teams to ensure design, build, and operations aligns to applicable reliability, security, privacy, regulatory policy, and business continuity drivers
  • Information and Data Assurance: ensure relevant operational process, procedure, and policy documentation is effectively managed and the data required to support operations is complete and accurate in systems
  • Automation: Be heavily involved in driving the team to analyze operational events in order to identify new automation opportunities and help us achieve our goal of all faults in the network being fully remediated by software. This will include helping others understand our requirements and drive their roadmaps, but may include directly implementing light weight solutions in code
  • Data Measurement: As an operations practitioner supporting our network, you will be expected to drive quality into the metrics we report to assist us in focusing on the areas that give us the best return on investment. This could include measurement and analysis of our escalation issues, fault/event trends, infrastructure capacity, and vendor performance failures
  • Collaboration and Partnership: You will work closely on supporting our internal customers (Network Engineering, Systems Engineering, Traffic, Logistics, Program Management) and vendors (IT asset disposal, and Hardware partners) and ensuring that their needs and issues are being addressed proactively across global sites
  • Roadmap Ownership and Strategy: Own the planning and execution of an organizational-level roadmap and strategy to deliver business outcomes
  • Technical Leadership: Provide root cause analysis and corrective action leadership to resolve all operational issues found across edge and backbone architectures and hardware platforms. You will be integral to identifying problems and implementing effective solutions across highly cross-functional infrastructure teams to include network engineering, logistics, supply chain, compliance, legal, software system engineering, and program management to scale with the rapid expansion of the Meta platform and customer base
