What they actually want (must-haves)
  • 5–10 years in infrastructure, platform, SRE, or DevOps engineering, with meaningful production ownership
  • Production Kubernetes experience — EKS preferred: cluster upgrades, autoscaling, networking, and hands-on troubleshooting
  • Strong AWS fundamentals: IAM, VPC and networking, compute, storage, KMS, and a working grasp of the cost model
  • Infrastructure as code in a real codebase — Pulumi preferred; Terraform or CDK acceptable with a willingness to work in Pulumi
  • Production TypeScript or Node — you will ship application code in a shared monorepo, not only infrastructure definitions
  • Relational data modeling and SQL, Postgres preferred; comfortable writing and reviewing migrations
Nice to have
  • Durable workflow engines — Temporal especially — or comparable orchestration and job systems
  • Hands-on administration of an IdP or SaaS admin surface (Okta, Entra) including SCIM, RBAC, and API integration
  • Multi-tenant SaaS, or M&A integration work folding acquired companies onto a single platform
  • Data warehouse pipelines (Redshift, BigQuery, Snowflake) and event-ingestion plumbing
  • LLM infrastructure: gateways and virtual keys, provider rate limits, token and spend telemetry
What the job really is

As an Infrastructure Engineer at Gyde, you will manage the infrastructure for an AI-native insurance brokerage platform, ensuring it remains secure and efficient as the company scales. Your role will involve both infrastructure and application engineering, where you'll tackle complex business problems, develop production-grade TypeScript code, and integrate various systems while maintaining compliance with regulations. You will also be responsible for cost management and ensuring that security measures are effectively implemented throughout the platform.

Benefits
  • Flexible (Unlimited) Paid Time Off
  • Hybrid Work in Austin or NYC
  • Medical, Dental, and Vision benefits for you and your family
  • Retirement Plan (e.g., 401K)
  • Parental Leave
Things to weigh
  • Role requires a blend of infrastructure and application engineering skills, which may not suit candidates focused solely on one area
  • Expectations around security and compliance are high, requiring a proactive approach to design and implementation
  • The job involves significant cross-functional collaboration, which may require strong communication skills
  • No salary listed in the posting, which could be a consideration for candidates evaluating offers
