Responsibilities

  • Own Scout’s Azure cloud infrastructure, including compute, networking, identity, storage, cost, and scaling decisions.
  • Architect infrastructure for reliable production-scale deployment across multiple airlines and industries.
  • Design and own infrastructure-as-code, CI/CD, and observability practices.
  • Support data infrastructure and pipelines connecting the application to Databricks.
  • Lead load testing, performance, reliability, security, backup, and disaster-recovery initiatives.
  • Build compliance-ready infrastructure for SOC 2 and ISO certification efforts.
  • Partner with engineering, data, and leadership teams to assume ownership of infrastructure work.
  • Manage infrastructure vendors and cloud-spend relationships.

Requirements

  • Significant experience owning infrastructure or platform engineering, ideally at Director, Head of Infrastructure, Principal, or Staff scope.
  • Deep hands-on Microsoft Azure experience across compute, networking, identity, and storage.
  • Strong architecture and design ownership, such as leading a cloud migration or designing infrastructure from scratch.
  • Experience operating infrastructure in a small team of approximately 1–3 people.
  • Experience with infrastructure as code using Terraform, Bicep, or ARM, plus CI/CD and observability tooling.
  • Familiarity with data infrastructure and pipelines; Databricks experience is preferred but not required.
  • Experience building toward SOC 2 or ISO 27001 compliance from an infrastructure or security perspective is preferred.
  • Ability to independently own cloud costs, scaling decisions, and infrastructure direction in an ambiguous startup environment.

Benefits

  • Remote-friendly work arrangement focused on output rather than location.
  • Meaningful equity in a company expanding an aviation safety platform into additional high-risk industries.
  • Direct collaboration with the CEO, Head of Engineering, strategic partners, investors, and the UP.Labs ecosystem.
  • Opportunity for substantial architectural ownership as the platform scales from a live single-customer deployment to enterprise scale.
