About The Position

We’re looking for a Network Infrastructure Engineer who loves building reliable, scalable systems. You will play a critical role in keeping Ghost’s platform running and our offices connected during a pivotal stage of growth. You will own our cloud infrastructure, IT management, and office networking end-to-end, ensuring things are secure and always available. You will work closely with Engineering, Data, Product, and Design to support a fast-moving organization, and as we build products both on the platform and off, you will ensure they are fully integrated with our AI infrastructure.

Requirements

BA/BS in Computer Science, Information Systems, or a related field, or equivalent experience
5+ years of infrastructure or systems engineering experience, with a minimum of 3 years at a high-growth startup
Strong hands-on experience with AWS (VPC, EC2, RDS, S3, IAM, Route53, security groups, and related services), as well as experience with platforms like Railway or Vercel
Experience managing enterprise office networking, including switches, firewalls, VLANs, and Wi-Fi
Solid understanding of security best practices and compliance frameworks (SOC 2, access control, certificate management)
Experience with infrastructure-as-code tools such as Terraform
Strong ownership mindset with comfort operating in ambiguity and resource-constrained environments
Experience building and scaling infrastructure in lean, fast-paced startup environments

Responsibilities

Own and manage Ghost’s cloud infrastructure across AWS, Railway, and Vercel, including VPC networking, compute, storage, IAM, and security configurations; ensuring our environments perform well and stay secure
Design, configure, and maintain office networks across our LA and NY offices: switches, firewalls, VLANs, and Wi-Fi
Partner closely with Engineering on the deployment pipeline, ensuring our cloud infrastructure is scaled appropriately and CI/CD systems run reliably
Triage and troubleshoot infrastructure issues and outages in real time, and drive root cause analysis to prevent recurrence
Handle security-related tickets, such as fixing and maintaining GitHub Actions and keeping client/dependency versions up to date
Implement and enforce security and compliance best practices, including access control, certificate management, vulnerability management, and audit logging
Evaluate and roll out new infrastructure and tooling, advising Engineering, Product, and Design on the best way to adopt and integrate them
Collaborate with Data Engineering to support data infrastructure and pipeline needs
Manage vendor relationships for networking hardware, cloud services, and security tooling; guiding the organization in strategic build vs. buy decisions to maximize ROI
Drive infrastructure-as-code adoption to ensure reproducible, auditable environments
Collaborate with Product and Leadership to translate operational needs into scalable infrastructure solutions
Stay current on AI infrastructure trends and help evaluate their application to Ghost’s platform
