The roles on this page span a wide range of infrastructure specialisms. Some focus on distributed database systems and cloud platform reliability, as with the Stripe database infrastructure role, which involves deploying solutions across AWS and Azure. Others sit closer to operating systems and government cloud, such as the Amazon Windows Systems Engineer post, which covers Active Directory, DNS, and Ansible automation in isolated environments.
A notable cluster involves ML and AI infrastructure: the Anduril Staff AI Infrastructure Engineer builds training orchestration and model serving for autonomous systems, while the Maven Clinic Staff Software Engineer leads cloud architecture for a healthcare platform. Defence and aerospace work appears in several postings, including the Amazon Prime Air Perception Systems Engineer and the Shield AI network engineer role, which requires zero-trust architecture and DoD cybersecurity experience.
Python and Kubernetes are the most consistently mentioned skills across these postings, appearing in well over half. AWS is mentioned in roughly half, with GCP and Azure also featuring. GPU and PyTorch mentions reflect the ML infrastructure lean of several roles. Java, Terraform, and Docker appear in a minority. These are description mentions across all postings, not stated requirements, and the sample size is small.
The employers' own advertised ranges, for individual roles at different levels — not an average and not a market rate.
Most postings on this page are listed as onsite, with a smaller portion offering hybrid arrangements and a minority fully remote. No postings have unknown work-mode information, so the split is fully stated. Candidates should read each posting individually, as onsite requirements vary — some roles involve secure or classified environments where remote work is unlikely to be negotiable, while others may have more flexibility within a hybrid arrangement.
