About Aldea

Aldea is a multi-modal foundational AI company reimagining the scaling laws of intelligence. We believe today's architectures create unnecessary bottlenecks for the evolution of software. Our mission is to build the next generation of foundational models that power a more expressive, contextual, and intelligent human–machine interface.

The Mission

We are seeking an Infrastructure Engineer to bridge the gap between complex hybrid infrastructure and developer velocity. You will architect a unified platform spanning AWS and Bare Metal Kubernetes .

At this level, you bring technical direction and expertise to the table. You will participate in planning and discussion for architecting resilient infrastructure, drive cross-team initiatives, and mentor other engineers while remaining deeply hands-on. Your ultimate goal is to build a "Golden Path" for engineering : automated releases, deep observability, and a platform experience that feels invisible to the end user.

Key Responsibilities

1. Hybrid Infrastructure & Bare Metal (AWS + K8s)

• Unified IaC Strategy : Architect and maintain the Terraform codebase for both AWS services (EKS, RDS, VPC) and Bare Metal clusters. You will treat physical infrastructure as mutable software, using tools like Cluster API , Metal3 , or Tinkerbell to manage hardware lifecycles.
• Bare Metal Mastery : Manage multiple production clusters on bare metal with clear separation of environments. You will solve complex challenges including networking (BGP, ECMP), load balancing (MetalLB / Kube-VIP), and storage orchestration (CSI / Rook-Ceph) for stateful workloads.

2. Observability & AI Monitoring

4. CI / CD & Release Architecture

5. Leadership & Collaboration
