Staff Software Engineer, Infrastructure

This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Staff Software Engineer, Infrastructure based in Canada. This is a Staff-level infrastructure engineering role focused on building the platform foundations that enable engineering teams to move faster and operate more reliably. You’ll combine hands-on software engineering with technical leadership, shaping self-service infrastructure, cloud platforms, deployment systems, and operational tooling. A major focus will be replacing expert-driven provisioning and operational workflows with paved roads that provide clear ownership, safe defaults, strong guardrails, and measurable adoption. You’ll help evolve multi-region, cross-account infrastructure and Kubernetes foundations while improving reliability, security, scalability, and cost efficiency. The role also includes developing AI-assisted operational workflows that reduce toil while keeping production changes safe, auditable, and human-reviewed. You’ll influence architecture across teams through RFCs, design reviews, technical standards, and pragmatic engineering decisions. Working in a small, growing team, you’ll have substantial ownership and the opportunity to drive infrastructure investments through real production adoption.
