Whirl AI agents help Enterprise IT teams research, design, develop, and test changes to applications and integrations in days — not months. Backed by ICONIQ.
About the role
As our Principal Cloud Engineer, you'll set the direction for the infrastructure behind our agents and build much of it yourself. You'll own how every enterprise customer gets a secure, dedicated environment on AWS, and how we run a growing fleet of those environments without slowing the team down. This is a hands-on technical leadership role: you'll decide how our platform evolves, and engineering will look to you for infrastructure decisions. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- You have designed and deployed complex production infrastructure on AWS across every layer: networking, identity, compute, and data
- Experience architecting single-tenant platforms from the ground up and managing fleets of tenant environments at scale through their whole lifecycle, from provisioning to deletion
- Expert-level Pulumi. You have designed and scaled large Pulumi codebases and know the platform in depth, from its core concepts to its wider tooling
- Experience running containerized workloads (ECS, Kubernetes, or equivalent) and building the CI/CD pipelines that let the rest of engineering ship safely and fast
- Deep expertise in infrastructure security. You design for isolation, least-privilege access, and defense in depth. SOC 2 controls are the floor, and we expect skills well beyond them
- You build infrastructure that is observable, cost-effective, and performant
