About The Position

Abnormal AI is seeking a Cloud Infrastructure Engineer for its Platform & Infrastructure team. The team designs, builds, and operates the core compute and business-critical infrastructure services that support Abnormal’s product platform. The role focuses on creating and maintaining secure, cost-efficient infrastructure in a multi-cloud environment using AWS and Azure, and partnering with product and application engineering teams to provide developer-friendly infrastructure abstractions. The engineer will contribute to an agile team, participate in technical discussions and design reviews, and take part in an on-call rotation. They will work to improve reliability, reduce technical debt and operational toil, and use AI tools to explore, design, and deliver solutions while improving shared documentation, runbooks, and AI skills.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or a related technical field.
1–2 years of experience engineering cloud infrastructure solutions for production microservice-based systems, accounting for performance, reliability, security, and cost.
At least 1 year of experience with Python.
6 months to 1 year of experience in at least two of the following areas: Terraform, AWS or equivalent public cloud services, and Kubernetes.
Experience with mature software development practices, including source control, testing, and deployment.
Experience with on-call rotations, incident response, and operating production-grade systems.
Experience using AI coding tools such as Claude Code or Codex in daily engineering work, with the judgment to validate, simplify, or reject unsuitable AI-generated output.
Strong communication skills and the ability to thrive in a fast-paced, remote-first environment, balancing autonomy and collaboration while demonstrating a bias toward action and a positive, constructive mindset.

Nice To Haves

Experience with Bash, Golang, and Terragrunt.

Contribute as a core member of an agile team, demonstrating ownership and teamwork.
Partner with product and application engineering teams to understand platform needs and deliver well-designed, developer-friendly infrastructure abstractions.
Participate in an on-call rotation, learn from customer pain points, identify systemic gaps, and drive long-term reliability improvements.
Address root causes, automate repetitive work, and shape roadmap investments to reduce technical debt and operational toil.
Use AI as a primary way to explore, design, and ship solutions, and improve shared context through documentation, runbooks, and AI skills.
