Role Overview
We are looking for a hands-on DevOps and Cloud Infrastructure Engineer to build and operate the infrastructure behind Lazarus, a large-scale platform for PII detection, redaction, and human review.
You will design secure, scalable, observable, and cost-efficient infrastructure for processing sensitive datasets across text, documents, images, and other file formats. The role involves supporting CPU- and GPU-intensive workloads, large-scale batch processing, ML inference pipelines, and production cloud operations across GCP and AWS.
What You’ll Do
• Design, provision, and operate GCP infrastructure for PII detection and redaction pipelines.
• Build and manage workloads across Cloud Run, Cloud Run Jobs, Compute Engine, GKE, and GPU-backed infrastructure.
• Design scalable batch-processing systems capable of processing hundreds of thousands of files.
• Implement worker parallelism, queues, retries, checkpointing, idempotency, timeouts, and failure recovery.
• Manage data movement across Google Cloud Storage, Amazon S3, VMs, containers, and external storage systems.
• Secure sensitive datasets using IAM, service accounts, Secret Manager, private networking, controlled egress, IAP, encryption, bucket-level access controls, and audit logging.

• Develop backup, recovery, migration, and disaster-recovery processes for large datasets and cloud resources.
• Troubleshoot production issues involving networking, storage, IAM, containers, APIs, compute, and ML infrastructure.
What We’re Looking For
• 5+ years of experience in DevOps, cloud infrastructure, platform engineering, or a related field.
• Strong hands-on experience with GCP, including:
• Cloud Run and Cloud Run Jobs
• Compute Engine and GKE
• Google Cloud Storage
• IAM and service accounts
• Secret Manager
• VPC and private networking
• Identity-Aware Proxy
• Artifact Registry
• Cloud Logging and Monitoring
• Working experience with AWS services, particularly Amazon S3 and cross-cloud data movement.
• Strong Linux administration and shell-scripting skills.
• Strong Python skills for infrastructure automation, operational tooling, and data-processing workflows.
• Strong Docker and containerization experience.
• Experience designing and operating large-scale batch or data-processing pipelines.
• Solid understanding of queues, worker parallelism, retries, checkpoints, idempotency, timeouts, and failure recovery.
• Experience securely processing and transferring sensitive or regulated data.
• Experience with CI/CD tools and production deployment workflows.
• Experience debugging CPU, memory, disk I/O, network, storage, API, and GPU performance issues.
• Exposure to ML infrastructure, GPU workloads, OCR, NLP, LLM serving, or model inference systems.
• Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to independently investigate and resolve production issues.
