Role
Who you are
- Deep Technical Mastery: You have extensive experience managing large-scale production environments in AWS, with "black belt" level knowledge of Kubernetes internals, networking (VPC/Direct Connect), and Istio
- The "AI Native" Mindset: You are passionate about the intersection of Infrastructure and AI. You don't just want to monitor a system; you want to build an agent that monitors and fixes it for you
- Proven Track Record: You have 8+ years of experience in Infrastructure, SRE, or DevOps, with at least 2 years in a Senior-level capacity driving cross-team initiatives
- Polyglot Engineering: You are highly proficient in Go or Python, and you’re comfortable diving into the application layer (Ruby, Node.js, or Java) to debug performance bottlenecks
- Security-First Philosophy: While this is an infra-focused role, you bake security into the CI/CD pipeline and underlying architecture by default
What the job involves
- We are seeking an experienced Senior Engineer to serve as the technical architect and lead for our Cloud foundation
- In this role, you won’t be just maintaining systems; you will be defining the future of how our infrastructure evolves. You will own the scalability and reliability of our global platforms while leading the charge into Agentic Infrastructure - leveraging AI to build self-healing, autonomous systems that reduce operational toil
- You will act as the bridge between high-level business strategy and deep technical execution, ensuring our Kubernetes-driven environment is not just stable, but a competitive advantage
- Architectural Leadership: Own the long-term technical roadmap for our AWS/Kubernetes ecosystem. Design and implement multi-region, high-availability architectures that support rapid product scaling
- AI & Agentic Systems: Proactively identify and implement opportunities to use AI/LLMs to build agentic workflows for infrastructure management (e.g., autonomous scaling, automated incident remediation, and intelligent cost optimization)
- Advanced Orchestration: Lead the evolution of our Kubernetes and Istio service mesh strategy, focusing on performance tuning, advanced traffic management, and developer self-service
- Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Set the standard for Terraform/OpenTofu usage, building reusable modules and frameworks that empower the entire engineering organization
- Strategic Optimization: Partner with leadership to manage cloud spend and performance metrics, turning technical efficiency into business revenue growth
- Mentorship & Influence: Act as a force multiplier by mentoring engineers and influencing cross-functional product teams on best practices for Cloud-native development
- Incident Response & SRE: Serve as a high-level escalation point for complex systemic issues, conducting deep-dive post-mortems that drive structural improvements rather than quick fixes
Our take
Commercial real estate is a difficult business sector to plan for, especially for the largest firms managing huge portfolios of prime office space. Marketing, leasing, data analytics and retention efforts have traditionally required an array of different solutions, often poorly integrated with one another (if at all), and decision-making is often stymied by inaccurate reporting and inflexible, clunky tools.
VTS, a leading player in the commercial real estate tech sector, seeks to change this by unifying every real estate asset and function in a single platform. Combining marketing, asset management and reporting functions into a single interface, it also delivers data insights for decision makers to inform their investment and asset strategies.
VTS's user base has grown to over 45,000 commercial real estate firms including Blackstone, Brookfield Properties, and LaSalle Investment Management, and about 60% of the US's top quality office space is managed through its platform. Having raised a significant amount of funding it is investing heavily in research and development, sourcing strategic acquisitions and hiring additional talent.
