Infrastructure as Code (IaC) Engineer — Foundational Cloud & Security Role
The Opportunity
Join us at the ground floor. As an early team member at Solomei AI, you'll have a direct hand in shaping the backbone of our AI-driven products. Your decisions on infrastructure, automation, and security will define how we scale.
From day one, you’ll own critical infrastructure initiatives — selecting the right tools, anticipating challenges, embedding security, and deploying resilient, scalable cloud environments. You'll work side-by-side with the founders in Milan, collaborating in a fast-paced, innovative environment where your impact is visible and rewarded.
What You’ll Be Working On
* Design and implement cloud infrastructure using Terraform, CloudFormation, and other IaC tools — ensuring scalability, resilience, and security .
* Use Docker to build and manage containerized environments, standardizing workflows across development, staging, and production.
* Orchestrate containerized applications with AWS EKS and ECS, optimizing for performance, reliability, and cost-efficiency .
* Automate deployment pipelines, integrating DevSecOps practices to ensure secure, seamless CI/CD processes.
* Manage core AWS infrastructure services (e.g., EC2, VPC, S3, RDS, EKS, ECS ) to support scalable, high-availability systems.
* Support and fine-tune infrastructure for Machine Learning (ML) and Large Language Model (LLM) workloads.
* Implement and maintain cloud security best practices — IAM governance, network security, encryption, and compliance monitoring.
* Proactively monitor system performance, resolve issues, and drive continuous improvement in both infrastructure and security posture.
* Document and standardize best practices for infrastructure, security, containerization, and deployment across the team.
You May Be a Good Fit If You Have
* Deep experience with Infrastructure as Code (IaC) in AWS-centric environments.
* Proficiency in Terraform, CloudFormation, Docker, and container orchestration via EKS/ECS .
* Strong knowledge of AWS core services for building scalable, secure cloud applications.
* Familiarity with CI/CD automation, scripting, and configuration management tools.
* Solid understanding of cloud security principles — including IAM, VPC architecture, encryption, and compliance tooling.
* A proactive, analytical mindset focused on efficiency, reliability, and security .
* A collaborative, ownership-driven attitude, excited to shape infrastructure decisions in a startup setting.
* Bonus: Experience deploying and managing ML/LLM models in production environments.
Team, Values & Benefits
You’ll be joining our early core team, working directly with founders and key technical stakeholders. We believe in:
* Collaboration-first: In-person teamwork and brainstorming in our Milan office.
* Ownership & Impact: Your work will define the backbone of our AI-driven solutions.
* Security & Scalability: Building infrastructure that’s robust, automated, and secure by default.
* Growth Opportunities: Early-stage, high responsibility, and a front-row seat to scale.
This is a rare opportunity to build foundational infrastructure at the intersection of AI innovation and cloud engineering .
