Job description
The Role
Watershed's Cloud Infrastructure team builds and operates the foundational systems that power our product and help every engineer ship safely and efficiently. We own core compute, databases, networking, deployments, and observability, with a focus on production reliability, predictable infrastructure costs, security, and a low-toil developer experience.
Our work spans both operational excellence and high-leverage platform improvements. Current areas of investment include: upgrading our networking architecture, improving the usability of test environments and deployment systems, evolving our observability toolkit, hardening Watershed's AI infrastructure as our AI product suite grows, and supporting agentic engineering workflows.
You Will
- Design, build, and operate reliable cloud infrastructure that powers all of Watershed (across compute, databases, networking, deployment systems, and observability)
- Contribute to technical planning, design reviews, team processes, and a culture of thoughtful, high-impact development
- Collaborate with product engineers (our internal customers) to understand their needs and provide high-leverage infrastructure primitives that help them move faster, safely
- Strengthen Watershed's cloud security in partnership with our Security and Compliance functions, and drive infrastructure cost efficiency in collaboration with our Finance team
- Participate in the team's 24/7 on-call rotation and help turn operational lessons into lasting improvements
You Might Be a Good Fit If
- You have 2–5 years of software and/or infrastructure engineering experience, or equivalent practical experience
- You have hands-on experience in some of these areas: Kubernetes, Terraform / infrastructure as code, CI/CD, networking, relational databases, observability, reliability, or cloud security. Experience with a major cloud provider is a must; experience with GCP is helpful, but not required
- You enjoy the challenge of building the appropriate level of tooling for the stage and arc of the company, in particular being on the front lines of supporting AI infrastructure and agentic products
- You enjoy building enabling systems that help other engineers deliver excellent customer outcomes
Must be willing to work from an office 4 days per week (except for remote roles).
