## About the role

At Handshake, we believe the infrastructure you build should be as thoughtful as the product it supports. We're looking for a Senior Cloud Engineer on the Agentic Infrastructure team who's excited to shape the foundation that our engineering teams build on — someone who sees infrastructure not as plumbing, but as a product in itself.

## What they're looking for

- Deep hands-on experience with GCP (strongly preferred), AWS, or Azure — you've run production workloads at scale and know where the bodies are buried
- Strong proficiency with Infrastructure as Code, particularly Terraform or experience with Crossplane or similar policy-driven IaC
- Fluency with modern CI/CD tooling — Buildkite, GitHub Actions, or similar — and a strong GitOps mindset with tools like ArgoCD or Flux
- Experience designing container-based and Kubernetes-native architectures
- A genuine curiosity about applying AI and automation to infrastructure problems — whether that's smarter alerting, self-healing systems, or LLM-assisted runbooks
- Strong communication skills — you can explain a complex architectural decision to an engineer and an executive alike
