About Genius AI

Genius AI powers the self-running business—one that works, earns, and grows while practitioners do what they do best: care for the client in front of them.

About the role

We have committed to a software factory model: a standardized, automated, fault-tolerant path from an idea to production, where humans and AI agents both ship code every day. As our Staff Infrastructure Engineer, you'll be one of the main people designing and building that factory. That covers how we build, verify, deploy and operate software, and how AI accelerates each of those steps. It also includes our own internal agentic SRE product that the rest of engineering leans on. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

What they're looking for

  • 8+ years of professional software engineering experience, including several years focused on infrastructure, platform or developer experience
  • A track record of staff-level ownership: you've set the technical direction for a platform or build/deploy system that many engineers depend on, and you can point to measurable gains in velocity or reliability
  • Deep hands-on experience with a major public cloud (AWS preferred) and operating Kubernetes in production
  • Fluency with infrastructure as code (Terraform) and GitOps-style delivery (ArgoCD or similar)
  • Real experience designing CI/CD at scale: pipeline standardization, self-hosted runners, build caching, progressive delivery and safe rollbacks
  • Strong observability and reliability instincts. You've defined SLOs, cleaned up alerting, and turned incident follow-ups into fixes in the system rather than tickets that age out
