## About the role

Design, build, and operate GCP and on-prem infrastructure behind Firecrawl's products Run large stateful and high-throughput workloads on Kubernetes (search clusters, crawling fleets, queues, and databases) with zero-downtime upgrades

## What they're looking for

- You've operated stateful distributed systems on Kubernetes at real scale, not just stateless services
- You have deep experience with a major cloud (GCP, AWS, or Azure), Docker, and Terraform. MLOps or ML-serving infrastructure experience (GPU workloads, model deployment pipelines) is a plus
- You've run large-scale, data-heavy systems in production: search platforms, crawling or ingestion pipelines, or comparable. Hands-on experience operating Vespa is a strong plus
- You care about latency, cost, and reliability in equal measure
- Experience with security and compliance infrastructure (SSO/SAML, audit logging, network isolation, SOC 2) is a strong plus
- You're comfortable owning ambiguous problems and turning them into shipped infrastructure
