POSITION DESCRIPTION

Sayari is entering a new phase of technical scale, driven by a wave of AI-native applications and a strategic shift in our data architecture. We are looking for a Cloud Infrastructure Engineer who is a platform builder. In this role, you will work with the Cloud Infrastructure team to build a golden path for our developers, a self-service internal platform that allows teams to ship code securely and quickly without manual operational bottlenecks. You will initially play a critical role in two major initiatives: supporting the infrastructure management of Snowflake and the evolution of our FinOps practice from reactive reporting to proactive governance-as-code. This is a hands-on, high-autonomy role for an engineer who loves to automate complex problems and use modern AI tools to accelerate the velocity.


JOB RESPONSIBILITIES
  • Build the Internal Platform: Evolve our CI/CD ecosystem (GitHub Actions, ArgoCD) into a seamless, self-service platform that supports rapid deployment of microservices and AI-driven applications.
  • Execute Snowflake Infrastructure: Own the infrastructure side of Snowflake, including account provisioning, access controls, and network architecture, ensuring a solid foundation for our data and application engineering teams.
  • Automate FinOps Governance: Go beyond monthly reports by implementing "governance-as-code." Write automated policies and scripts that actively manage resource lifecycles, tag compliance, and prevent wasteful cloud spend before it happens.
  • Advance Infrastructure as Code: Manage and scale our IaC (Terraform), with modular, reusable patterns that allow developers to provision what they need within guardrails.
  • Support AI Velocity: Ensure our infrastructure can keep pace with the high-velocity creation of AI tools and applications, managing segmentation, dependency connections, and compute scaling efficiently.
SKILLS & EXPERIENCE

Required Skills & Experience

  • Deep production experience with GCP or AWS. You understand how to architect for resilience and security in a multi-cloud environment.
  • Expert-level proficiency with Terraform. You don't just run plans; you write modular, scalable code from scratch.
  • Hands-on experience building CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions and managing deployments using ArgoCD or Flux.
  • Strong scripting/coding ability in Bash and Python.
  • Proven experience automating cloud cost controls. You understand how to implement tagging strategies and automated cleanup policies to prevent "bill shock."
  • Experience provisioning and securing Snowflake environments from an infrastructure perspective.
  • Experience using AI tools to accelerate coding, debugging, process automation, and documentation.

Desired Skills & Experience

  • Experience with Terragrunt and Atlantis for advanced IaC workflows.
  • Familiarity with Elastic Cloud for monitoring and observability.
  • Experience building or managing Internal Developer Portals (e.g., Backstage).

The target base salary for this position is $200,000-$220,000 plus bonus and equity. Final offer amounts are determined by multiple factors including location, local market variances, candidate experience and expertise, internal peer equity, and may vary from the amounts listed above.


Benefits: 
  • 100% fully paid medical, vision, and dental for employees and their dependents
  • Generous time off; we observe all US federal holidays, close our office for a winter break (12/24-12/31), in addition to granting 18 PTO days and 10 sick days
  • Outstanding compensation package; competitive commissions for revenue roles and quarterly bonuses for non-revenue positions
  • A strong commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion
  • Eligibility to participate in additional benefits such as 401k match up to 5%, 100% paid life insurance (up to $100,000 coverage),, and parental leave
  • A collaborative and positive culture - your team will be as smart and driven as you
  • Limitless growth and learning opportunities
 
Sayari is an equal opportunity employer and strongly encourages diverse candidates to apply. We believe diversity and inclusion mean our team members should reflect the diversity of the United States. No employee or applicant will face discrimination or harassment based on race, color, ethnicity, religion, age, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, disability status, veteran status, genetics, or political affiliation. We strongly encourage applicants of all backgrounds to apply.
