Senior Cloud Engineer

The Senior Cloud Infrastructure & Platform Engineer will own the design, automation, and scaling of Livelytics’ multi-cloud infrastructure across AWS, Azure, and GCP. This role is responsible for building a fully containerized, stateless, and highly portable application platform that supports our Node.js backend services, React frontend, Redis caching, ClickHouse analytics engine, and LLM-driven workloads.

You will architect and manage Kubernetes-based deployments, implement infrastructure using Terraform, build CI/CD pipelines with Azure DevOps, optimize cloud cost and performance, and deliver an observable, secure, and resilient platform. This role is ideal for an engineer who thrives in fast-paced product environments, deeply understands Cloud + DevOps fundamentals, and can drive the next generation of Livelytics’ cloud-agnostic architecture.
