San Francisco, CA

Senior Cloud Infrastructure Engineer (Azure / Terraform)

San Francisco, CA (On-site) | $140k–$240k base + pre-IPO stock options

Build and scale the cloud platform behind some of the world’s most advanced radar systems.

CHAOS Industries is a defense tech company founded in 2022 that has raised $1B from investors including 8VC, Accel and Valor Equity Partners. You’ll design, build and operate the infrastructure and backend services that move mission-critical sensor data from radars in the field to the operators who depend on it.

What you’ll do

  • Design and run Azure infrastructure as code with Terraform: networking, Azure Container Apps, managed databases and CI/CD pipelines
  • Build and own high-throughput Python (FastAPI) services and the data layer behind them (PostgreSQL/TimescaleDB, Redis, Cosmos DB) for real-time sensor data
  • Own security, reliability and observability: identity and access, secrets, network isolation, monitoring and alerting (Datadog), incident response
  • Scale a platform already in production as sensors, customers and deployments grow
  • Define the architecture of the next-generation platform with engineering teams across the company

You’re a fit if you have

  • Built and operated production infrastructure in a major cloud (Azure, AWS or GCP), defined in code with Terraform, Pulumi, Bicep or CloudFormation
  • Run containerized production workloads (Docker) on a managed platform such as Azure Container Apps, ECS/Fargate, Cloud Run or Kubernetes
  • Strong cloud networking fundamentals: virtual networks, subnets, routing, DNS, load balancers, private endpoints, firewalls
  • Built and operated production backend services in Python, Go or similar, and understand what happens under load: concurrency, async I/O, connection pooling, resource limits
  • Fluency in distributed systems (consistency, replication, partitioning, caching, back-pressure, idempotency, graceful degradation), and have scaled a production system well beyond its original design and fixed what broke
  • A secure-by-default approach: least-privilege access, secrets kept out of code, hardened and patched systems

Nice to have

  • Azure Government, AWS GovCloud or other regulated environments (FedRAMP, CMMC, NIST 800-171 or 800-53)
  • Real-time and streaming data systems: WebSockets, server-sent events, pub/sub, message queues
  • Identity and cloud security: Entra ID, OAuth 2.0 / OIDC, managed identities, service-to-service authentication, policy as code

What you get

  • Medical, dental and vision, 100% paid by the company
  • 401k with 50% company match up to 6% of pay, plus FSA, HSA and life insurance
  • Pre-IPO stock options, relocation assistance, and annual bonuses (coming soon)
  • Unlimited PTO and a casual dress code
  • Free daily lunch while you’re working on-site, plus a fully stocked kitchen

Pay range shown is base salary only and excludes equity, bonuses and benefits. Actual offers vary based on experience, skills and business needs.

Please note: Must be a U.S. Person as defined under U.S. export control regulations, as required for access to controlled technology, and able to obtain and maintain a U.S. security clearance.
