Senior Infrastructure Engineer

Job Description:

At Engine, we’re revolutionizing work travel. Our modern travel platform isn’t just about booking trips; it’s about transforming how businesses and their teams experience travel. From seamless booking options with top airlines, hotels, and car rental providers to single-invoice billing and flexible trip modifications, we make travel not only easier to manage but also enjoyable. Backed by powerhouse investors like Telescope Partners, Blackstone, Elefund, and Permira, we’re growing fast—and we want you to be part of it.

As a Senior Infrastructure Engineer at Engine, you will be at the core of building and scaling the infrastructure platform that supports our entire engineering organization. This role is not just about uptime — it’s about building an ecosystem where developers can move fast with confidence. Your mission is to create automated, repeatable infrastructure systems that minimize manual effort, maximize reliability, and empower product teams to self-serve their needs.

You’ll focus heavily on infrastructure such as code, cloud-native architecture, and platform tooling that enables engineers to spin up environments, deploy services, and monitor systems with minimal friction. You'll collaborate across teams to codify best practices, design scalable solutions, and drive adoption of self-service infrastructure patterns that accelerate development without sacrificing governance, security, or cost controls.

This is a hands-on engineering role where infrastructure is treated like a product. You will contribute directly to platform capabilities, write clean and scalable code, and influence how infrastructure is delivered across the organization.

Key Responsibilities:

• Infrastructure Automation: Design, implement, and manage cloud infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools such as Terraform, AWS CloudFormation, or Ansible.
• CI/CD Pipeline Development: Design, build, and maintain scalable CI/CD pipelines using tools like CircleCI or GitHub Actions to support rapid, reliable, and secure deployments.
• System Monitoring & Reliability: Implement and maintain observability tooling (Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog), and lead incident response to ensure system reliability.
• Platform Engineering: Develop reusable infrastructure modules, automation frameworks, and patterns that support rapid service provisioning and delivery.
• Cloud Architecture & Operations: Build and scale infrastructure on AWS to support high-availability systems with a focus on performance and cost optimization.
• Security & Governance: Apply infrastructure-level security best practices in collaboration with security teams, including IAM policy enforcement, encryption, and network segmentation.
• Team Collaboration: Work cross-functionally with engineering, architecture, and security teams while mentoring team members and promoting DevOps and platform engineering best practices.
• Self-Service Platform Development: Build and support self-service infrastructure capabilities that enable engineering teams to provision environments and deploy services autonomously.

Required Skills:

• 5+ years of experience in DevOps or Infrastructure roles, working with production systems on AWS.
• Deep experience with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform preferred).
• Demonstrated strong programming capabilities in languages such as Python or Go for engineering scalable automation, internal tools, and infrastructure platforms. Proficient in shell scripting (e.g., Bash) for efficient operational task automation.
• Hands-on experience designing and operating CI/CD pipelines that support automated testing, deployment, and environment provisioning.
• Experience with containerization and orchestration (Docker, EKS, or Kubernetes).
• Solid knowledge of observability practices and tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, and Datadog.
• Experience building or maintaining self-service tools or platforms used by developers.

Nice to Have:

• GitOps experience with ArgoCD or Flux.
• Familiarity with internal developer portals like Backstage, Cortex, or OpsLevel.
• Knowledge of secrets management and service discovery tools (Vault, AWS SSM, Consul).
• Prior experience mentoring engineers or contributing to DevOps/Platform Engineering culture initiatives.

Applications for this role will be accepted through 10/22/2025 or until the role is filled. We encourage you to apply early, as we may begin reviewing applications before the deadline.
