Job Description:

Cloud Efficiency Engineer – Core Infrastructure

Location: Remote

About the Role

We are looking for a hands-on Cloud Efficiency Engineer to join our Core Infrastructure team. This isn’t a reporting or advisory role. You will be directly optimizing our massive, JVM-heavy infrastructure—tuning autoscalers, profiling services, and finding the perfect balance between peak reliability and cloud cost efficiency.

What You’ll Do

  • Optimize GKE at Scale: Hands-on rightsizing of massive Kubernetes workloads and advanced autoscaler tuning.
  • Profile JVM Services: Deep-dive into Java performance, interpret GC logs, and tune heap/thread configurations to maximize efficiency.
  • Drive Financial Impact: Translate cloud pricing models and scheduling decisions into tangible, multi-million-dollar savings.

What We’re Looking For

  • 5+ years of experience in cloud infrastructure with a proven, hands-on track record in resource efficiency (not just monitoring).
  • Deep Cloud & K8s expertise: Strong knowledge of GCP/GKE (or equivalent AWS/Azure depth with a willingness to switch).
  • Strong Java/JVM skills: Ability to profile services, debug resource contention, and optimize runtime configurations.
  • Proven results: You have personally implemented cost-optimization initiatives that delivered measurable savings in a cloud-native environment.

Quick Perks

  • Highly competitive salary, equity, and premium benefits.
  • Flexible work policy (work from home or the office).
  • Massively scalable tech stack with real engineering autonomy
