Platform Engineer

Platform Engineer (Mid+)

Claid.AI is delivering GenAI to enterprise. The platform team owns the cloud footprint and the developer experience around shipping those pipelines safely. Small team, lots of surface area, real ownership from day one.

What you’ll work on

Run our infrastructure as code in Terraform across GCP, AWS, and GPU/neo-clouds. Keep CI/CD healthy on GitHub Actions across a multi-repo setup. Fix whatever is slowing product and ML engineers down — local dev, preview environments, secrets, deploys, observability. Take part in on-call, own the runbooks, and follow incidents through to a fix.

You’ll work closely with our Head of Platform/Engineering — 16 years in, previously ran platform at Grammarly and at Amazon Ring. He’s been carrying most of this solo for a while; you’re the second pair of hands on a two-person function, with real ownership from week one rather than a junior seat shadowing someone else’s calls.

Stack

Terraform (heavy daily use — modules, state, drift), Kubernetes, GitHub Actions, GCP + AWS, GPU/neo-clouds.
Also in the mix: Cloudflare, RabbitMQ, SQL and NoSQL datastores, Grafana + Mimir for monitoring.

Nice to have: Argo / GitOps.

Who we’re looking for

Mid+ — 2–4 years of real platform/DevOps/SRE work. You prefer to own things end-to-end and ship them yourself, not just contribute around the edges. You don’t need to know every item in the stack, but you are hungry for knowledge. You’ve debugged a blocked deploy at 11pm and come out the other side (or similar).

What we care about:
– You’ve run workloads in GCP or AWS and can reason about IAM, networking, and cost without hand-holding.
– You know your way across SQL/NoSQL databases.
– You know Terraform — modules, state, and drift.
– You’ve operated a CI/CD pipeline in production — built the stages, fixed the flaky ones, and debugged the failed deploy.
– You write tools/scripts in Python, Go, or Rust. We use AI heavily, but you can write code without it — and we’ll check.
– You automate the toil and ship small, reversible changes instead of manual one-offs.

Startup-shaped: comfortable with ambiguity, picks up unowned problems, writes things down so the next person doesn’t have to re-figure them out.

On-call

Yes, shared with the Head of Platform — exact rotation is still being finalized. Engineers across the team also serve as first responders, so you’re not the only line of defense.

What we offer

– Stock options in the US parent company — standard terms, comparable to what you’d see at a Silicon Valley startup.
– A genuinely stable team for a 9-year-old company — outside of a few very recent hires, the team has stayed an average of 2+ years.
– A flexible, output-based culture — roughly 21 vacation days a year, not rigidly tracked.
– Direct mentorship from a Head of Platform well known in the (Ukrainian-speaking) DevOps community.
– Founder access: every single hire at Claid, including this one, gets a 30-minute interview slot with our CEO, Vlad — we’re hands-on, not a black box.

Location

LatAm-based, remote, preferred. Working hours need to overlap meaningfully with US business hours (Pacific Time). Open to discussing strong candidates based in Europe given timezone overlap, on a case-by-case basis.
