Cloud Infrastructure Engineer

At WerQ AI, we’re building the world’s first Career Intelligence & Relationship Management (CIRM™) platform, to put professionals at the center of their own career ecosystem. With deep agentic AI designed to work for you, not against you, we automate repetitive and tedious workflows, freeing your time to focus on what truly matters: your skill growth, your connections, and future-proofing your career.

We entered beta last month and are actively enhancing our platform with valuable feedback from our early testers. As we prepare for our public launch and raise our seed round (expected to close in February 2025), we’re planning to build our team. Applying now allows us to connect early, streamline interviews, and have a rapid onboarding process once funding is secured. If you’re excited to help shape the future of work that is more people-centered, we’d love to hear from you!

As our Cloud Infrastructure Engineer, you will design and maintain the backbone of WerQ AI’s platform on Google Cloud Platform (GCP). You’ll work closely with AI, data, and product teams to deploy new features reliably and ensure that our infrastructure meets the highest standards of performance and security. Your expertise will be critical in enabling our users—job seekers, networkers, and learners alike—to enjoy a seamless experience, even as we scale to millions of users.

• Product Leadership: Experience in a Product Management role, ideally within SaaS or AI-driven platforms.
• Hands-On GCP Experience: Strong track record managing and optimizing cloud environments (or AWS/Azure equivalent with a willingness to adapt to GCP).
• Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Proficiency with Terraform, CloudFormation, or similar technologies for reproducible, scalable infrastructure.
• Containerization & Orchestration: Practical knowledge of Docker and Kubernetes for deploying containerized applications.
• CI/CD Automation: Experience setting up pipelines (e.g., Jenkins, GitLab CI, GitHub Actions) for continuous integration and delivery.
• Monitoring & Logging: Familiarity with tools like Prometheus, Grafana, ELK Stack, or GCP-native solutions.
• Security & Compliance: Understanding of best practices in encryption, identity and access management, and network security protocols.

• Power the Future of Work: Help build the infrastructure that will underpin the next generation of career management and skill development.
• Mission-Driven & Innovative Culture: Collaborate with a forward-thinking team dedicated to putting people first and driving positive change in the job market.
• High Impact & Ownership: Take a lead role in designing a global-scale system, influencing decisions that shape our platform’s reliability and growth trajectory.
