Job Title: Member of Technical Staff, Infrastructure

Type of job: full-time

Location: Remote

About the role

This deeply technical, hands-on job suits someone who looks past traditional DevOps. You'll own infrastructure reliability, scale, and observability while moving toward infrastructure that increasingly runs itself through AI agents and smart automation.

Your work spans cloud infrastructure, deployment, monitoring, security, and incident response, creating the tools and workflows that let a small engineering team move very fast without losing reliability.

micro1 wants someone who has run complicated production systems, knows infrastructure in depth, and already relies on AI coding agents to change how engineering gets done.

What You'll Do

• Build agentic infrastructure: Design and roll out AI-powered workflows for provisioning, deployments, monitoring, spotting incidents, and fixing them automatically.
• Own reliability at scale: Design cloud infrastructure that is resilient, secure, and scalable for fast-changing AI products and workloads.
• Make systems observable: Create thorough logging, metrics, distributed tracing, and alerts that show clearly and usefully how production is doing.
• Automate operational complexity: Remove repetitive infrastructure work with smart automation, self-serve tools, and operations run by agents.
• Own the infrastructure lifecycle: Lead upgrades of dependencies, runtime migrations, cloud security hygiene, and modernization from design to production.
• Improve developer velocity: Create infrastructure platforms and workflows so engineers can deploy, debug, and run services with ease.
• Raise the engineering bar: Coach engineers, set technical standards, and shape architecture choices through hands-on leadership.

What We're Looking For

• Staff-level engineering skill with deep experience in DevOps, infrastructure, platform engineering, or SRE.
• Strong practical experience running production systems on a major cloud such as AWS, Azure, or GCP.
• Expert in networking, cloud security, CI/CD, distributed systems, infrastructure as code, and orchestrating containers.
• Shown experience designing incident-response and observability systems for complicated production setups.
• Clear ownership of infrastructure migrations, security upgrades, and reliability projects.
• AI-native engineering habits: AI coding agents are already central to how you develop every day, and you've built automation that cuts engineering toil in a real way.
• Strong software fundamentals, able to build automation frameworks, internal tools, and infrastructure services fit for production.
• A record of spotting systemic problems on your own, designing fixes, and shipping them from start to finish.
• Background coaching engineers and improving technical practice while staying deep in the implementation.

Nice to have

• You've created infrastructure automation that removes whole classes of manual operations work.
• You've tried AI agents, or put them into use, for incident triage, automatic remediation, or running infrastructure.
• You see infrastructure as a programmable system that is more and more autonomous, not a set of services managed by hand.
• You've helped small engineering teams run very reliable systems at large scale.
• You're just as at home debugging a live incident, designing infrastructure architecture, and coding the improvements for both.
