## About the role

Multi-cloud architecture: Design the abstraction model that makes AWS, GCP, and Azure read as one platform. Decide where provider differences in IAM, networking, quotas, and failure modes get absorbed, and how new regions and providers plug in. Own a significant system: Design and build the multi-component platform end to end, and coordinate the engineers working on its parts. Make the system-level tradeoffs between conflicting requirements, and make them explicit. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- 10+ years building software, including significant time designing and operating distributed infrastructure in production
- Production infrastructure experience on at least two of AWS, GCP, and Azure, including building, operationalizing, and scaling Kubernetes-based platforms across them
- Deep Kubernetes knowledge: scheduling, controllers and reconciliation, resource management, isolation, and upgrade safety
- A record of designing and building a significant multi-component system and coordinating other engineers to deliver it, ideally through a substantial infrastructure transition while production kept running
- Proficiency across a diverse set of technologies, with strong coding skills in Go or another systems language. You still write meaningful code
- Excellent written and verbal communication. You can explain complex systems, make tradeoffs explicit, and drive alignment with engineering and leadership
