SiriusSan Francisco, CA

About The Position

We're on a mission to make subscriber churn a solved problem. Backed by a16z Speedrun, we build AI agents that help consumer subscription brands — like Higgsfield and Promova — retain more users, extend lifetime value, and grow fast. We're an incredibly driven team working on a problem that affects every consumer on the planet. If that sounds like your kind of thing, we'd love to meet you. Our co-founders are Azamat Khamidov and Benazir Toleubekova . Azamat built a Telegram AI product from zero to five million users in four months, the first acquisition inside Telegram. Benazir received a full scholarship to Beijing University of Technology at 15. Joined Taobao at 17. At Alibaba, architected the core recommendation engine serving 500M daily users.

Requirements

  • +1 year in infrastructure, DevOps, platform engineering, or solutions architecture — with significant time spent on customer-facing deployment work
  • Deep experience with AWS services, Terraform, container orchestration, and cloud networking (VPCs, IAM, DNS, load balancing)
  • Track record of managing deployments in customer-owned cloud environments, including navigating security reviews, compliance requirements, and change management processes
  • Ability to work with enterprise stakeholders across the spectrum — from platform engineers to CISOs — and turn infrastructure conversations into actionable deployment plans
  • Strong operational instincts: you think about upgrades, rollbacks, monitoring, and failure modes from day one, not as an afterthought
  • Comfortable working in a fast-moving seed-stage environment where the process is still being written — and excited to be the one writing it

Nice To Haves

  • Experience deploying AI/ML workloads or LLM-based products into enterprise environments
  • Familiarity with subscription platform infrastructure (billing systems, CRM integrations, data pipelines)
  • Prior experience at an early-stage startup where you wore multiple hats across infra and engineering

Responsibilities

  • Own deployment architecture conversations and execution — designing and implementing deployment strategies across customer environments, including VPC configuration, permissioning, networking, and infrastructure provisioning
  • Manage the full infrastructure lifecycle for our most critical subscription platform customers: initial deployment, ongoing upgrades, scaling, and incident support
  • Develop and maintain deployment runbooks, upgrade procedures, and automation tooling to make operations repeatable and reliable as we grow
  • Partner with our engineering team to ensure our agent platform is deployable and operable across diverse customer tech stacks and compliance requirements
  • Work directly with customers' platform engineering, security, and DevOps teams to navigate their infrastructure constraints — particularly in regulated industries where subscription data is sensitive
  • Collaborate with Sales and Customer Success during pre-sales and onboarding to scope infrastructure requirements and translate customer needs into concrete deployment plans

Benefits

  • Flexible healthcare: We offer flexible spending to direct your benefits toward what matters most to you and your family.
  • Daily lunch, plus coffee, tea, and snacks to keep you going.
  • Take the time you need to show up as your best self. We mean it.
