The opportunity
We're hiring a Senior Cloud Infrastructure Engineer to join the Cloud Infrastructure & Platform (CIN) team at Altruist. This is a high-impact, senior individual contributor role responsible for architecting, building, and operating the AWS-based infrastructure that powers our broker-dealer and clearing platform. You will own critical infrastructure domains end-to-end and drive technical decisions that affect the reliability, security, and scalability of systems handling real financial transactions.
As the industry evolves rapidly with generative AI and agentic workflows, we need engineers who combine deep AWS and Kubernetes expertise with the vision and initiative to define how AI/ML tools and patterns can transform infrastructure operations, developer productivity, and platform resilience. This role carries significant technical influence — you will shape infrastructure strategy, lead complex cross-functional initiatives, and raise the bar for engineering practices across the organization.

This is not a ticket-driven infrastructure role. At the Senior-to-Staff level, we expect you to:
- Own domains, not just tasks. You will be the technical authority for critical infrastructure areas (e.g., EKS platform, observability strategy, DR architecture, or AI infrastructure) and drive their roadmap.
- Define technical direction. Author architectural decision records (ADRs), propose infrastructure standards, and influence engineering-wide technology choices through design reviews and RFCs.
- Lead without a title. Drive cross-team initiatives, align stakeholders, unblock other engineers, and represent infrastructure perspectives in leadership discussions and planning.
- Multiply the team. Elevate the entire CIN team through mentorship, code reviews, knowledge sharing, and building reusable frameworks and golden paths that scale beyond your individual output.
- Bridge infrastructure and business. Translate complex technical trade-offs into clear recommendations for engineering leadership, product teams, and compliance stakeholders.
