## About the role

As an AI Infrastructure Engineer, you'll design, build, and own the tooling and services that take Tessera's AI agents from a developer's laptop to production in customer clouds. You'll write real software in Python or Go — CLIs, controllers, and internal services — and run it on Kubernetes alongside LLM serving stacks like vLLM. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- Design and own CI/CD for infrastructure, services, and model/agent releases, using GitOps and pipeline-as-code
- Build self-service tooling that removes manual work: environment provisioning, secret rotation, dependency updates, compliance checks, and release management
- Partner closely with AI, product, and platform engineers to unblock delivery
- Champion an automation-first mindset: if something is done twice, it should be automated, if it's automated, it should be observable and maintained like production code
- 5+ years of experience in infrastructure, platform, or backend engineering (7+ years for senior)
- AI infrastructure tooling: strong software engineering in Python or Go, with a track record of building and shipping tools, CLIs, or services that other engineers rely on
