Infrastructure Engineer

About the Client

Our client is a global technology company specialized in large-scale cloud infrastructure, automation of distributed systems, and deep integration between hardware and software.

The engineering environment is highly technical, fast-paced, and built around autonomy, ownership, and solving complex infrastructure challenges at global scale.

About the Role

We are seeking a Senior Infrastructure Engineer with a strong software engineering background and solid experience in automating complex infrastructure environments.

This is a high-impact, product-focused role, responsible for building tools, automation layers, APIs, and workflows that will be directly consumed by the company’s customers — not only internal teams.

This is not a traditional DevOps/Platform position focused on provisioning resources internally.

Here, you will be designing and engineering infrastructure automation as product, interacting with hardware, clusters, and low-level systems that power a global cloud offering.

Key Responsibilities

- Develop tools, automations, APIs, and infrastructure workflows used directly by end customers.
- Build automation layers that interact with physical hardware and low-level components (state management, provisioning logic, control sequences, etc.).
- Create and maintain internal backends and integrations linking services, infrastructure, and the core platform.
- Leverage programming languages — especially Python — to design robust and scalable automation solutions.
- Work on the automation behind global infrastructure and distributed clusters.
- Contribute to technical design discussions and architectural decisions.
- Identify opportunities for improvement within the platform and proactively propose solutions.

Technical Requirements

- Senior-level experience in software development, especially with Python.
- Strong background in infrastructure automation and distributed environments.
- Experience working with hardware, data centers, bare-metal environments, or infrastructure-heavy companies.
- Solid understanding of APIs, internal workflows, provisioning automation, and backend integrations.
- Ability to work in low-level contexts involving hardware components and state management.
- Proven experience building solutions from scratch, not only executing predefined tasks.

Cultural & Behavioral Profile

- High autonomy: must be able to discover opportunities, define approaches, and drive solutions independently.
- Seniority and maturity to operate within a team of highly experienced engineers.
- Hands-on, proactive mindset, with strong ownership and problem-solving orientation.
- Experience in fast-paced environments (startups or mixed small/large company backgrounds).
- Curiosity and flexibility to learn new technologies and navigate cross-disciplinary areas.

English Requirement

- Advanced English is mandatory, as the leadership and part of the engineering team are international.

What Will Not Fit

- Junior or mid-level professionals.
- Candidates who only worked in slow, highly structured corporate environments.
- Profiles focused solely on execution or maintenance (not creation).
- Professionals who depend heavily on direction and lack technical autonomy.

Contract Model

- PJ / Contractor (LLC) — engagement through independent contractor arrangement.
- The candidate must be legally able to invoice through a company (LLC or equivalent).

Work Model

- Remote (remote-friendly).
- The company has no restrictions regarding location, as long as the candidate meets performance expectations and availability for team collaboration.

Why This Role Stands Out

- Direct impact on the core product, not just internal tooling.
- Unique combination of software + hardware + global infrastructure engineering.
- High autonomy and opportunity to design new components from scratch.
- Collaboration with a senior, highly technical engineering team.
