What this job asks for AI summary
A senior infrastructure lead role responsible for owning and operating a production platform built on GCP, Kubernetes, and infrastructure-as-code tooling. A significant portion of the work involves designing and standing up new GPU capacity in a colocation facility alongside existing cloud infrastructure. The role suits engineers with deep hands-on experience running production systems, including physical or bare-metal environments, who are comfortable with high autonomy and broad ownership.

Why we read it this way (6)
The role title is not given in the posting; it is described as a platform/infrastructure lead with end-to-end ownership. 'Unspecified' is used for advertised seniority accordingly.
SOC classification is a genuine judgment call. The role writes infrastructure-as-code (Pulumi/TypeScript), builds GPU serving pipelines, and sets deployment patterns — all shipping code — which points to 15-1252 Software Developers. However, a substantial portion of the work is operating and maintaining infrastructure (on-call, incident response, colocation/bare-metal, networking), which could support 15-1244. 15-1252 was chosen because the JD explicitly emphasizes building and owning the platform through code, not merely running systems someone else built.
The 7+ years figure is the primary experience gate; the JD also offers an alternative path for engineers with fewer years who demonstrably owned a production platform from early to reliable — the overall years minimum reflects the stated primary threshold.
Physical/colocation infrastructure experience (bare-metal provisioning, datacenter networking, GPU fleets) is called out as 'a real differentiator' and listed under requirements, but the JD also says 'this is the newest part of the role' and frames it as experience that sets candidates apart rather than a hard rejection criterion — treated as preferred accordingly.
The full stack section is introduced with 'You don't need every item below, but you should be deep in most' — technologies listed there are treated as preferred unless they also appear in the hard-requirements prose (Kubernetes, GCP, infrastructure-as-code, CI/CD).
Compensation includes equity in addition to the stated base salary range, but the equity terms are unspecified.
