Your Mission

As a Senior Infrastructure Engineer, you will build and operate the critical platform powering both our consumer tax product and Nino, our AI-driven personal finance tool. You will be responsible for scaling our databases, automating deployments, and establishing the infrastructure foundation for future AI-powered features. This role has a direct impact on users, ensuring clarity and reliability during crucial financial decision-making and tax seasons.

Your One-Year Outcomes

• Ensure 99.9%+ uptime through tax season (Jan–Apr) via automated autoscaling, promotion gates, and SLO-based alerting.
• Reduce deployment lead time by 50% by optimizing the CI/CD pipeline for sub-hour, zero-downtime rolling updates.
• Establish the AI/ML infrastructure foundation, provisioning and operationalizing GCP resources for product team experimentation and ML feature deployment.
• Enhance database performance at scale through read pool tuning, connection pooling validation, and automated performance regression detection.

What You Will Do

• Operate and scale GKE clusters with KEDA-driven autoscaling for the consumer webapp.
• Manage database infrastructure (primary instances, read pools, connection pooling, PSC networking) critical for tax season survivability.
• Maintain Redis caching layers for high-scale session and data caching.
• Operate GitOps pipelines and image-driven promotion workflows from staging to production.
• Develop and maintain Helm charts for consistent multi-environment deployments.
• Implement observability using OpenTelemetry (monitors, dashboards, PII-stripped metric routing, Pub/Sub export).
• Secure the platform using Cloudflare, Cloud Armor WAF, CloudOrigin CA TLS certificates, and GCP Secret Manager.
• Partner with backend and AI teams to provision staging environments for seamless experimentation and feature shipping.
