We are hiring a Senior Software Engineer to help modernize, scale, and operate the shared cloud infrastructure that powers YipitData’s data-intensive products, agentic customer experiences, and engineering organization. Reporting to the Head of Cloud Infrastructure, you will drive forward Site Reliability Engineering and DevOps initiatives on mission-critical systems that our customers rely on 24/7. You will work on a modern tech stack built with AWS Cloudformation, Databricks, Kubernetes, and Terraform.

This is a hands-on engineering role with meaningful ownership. You will help build reliable, reusable infrastructure capabilities; improve how engineers develop, deploy, observe, and operate cloud technologies; and strengthen our approach to reliability, incident management, disaster recovery, and technology efficiency. You will collaborate closely with platform, application, and data engineers while contributing to a small, high-leverage infrastructure team.

The infrastructure team owns shared platforms and capabilities, while adjacent Data Platform, Data Engineering, and application teams own their applications and data products. You will partner with those teams to provide smooth integrations, operational guidance, and dependable infrastructure that helps them move quickly and safely.
