Job Description
Cloud Efficiency Engineer – Core Infrastructure Location: Remote About the Role We are looking for a hands-on Cloud Efficiency Engineer to join our Core Infrastructure team. This isn’t a reporting or advisory role. You will be directly optimizing our massive, JVM-heavy infrastructure—tuning autoscalers, profiling services, and finding the perfect balance between peak reliability and cloud cost efficiency.
What You’ll Do Optimize GKE at Scale: Hands-on rightsizing of massive Kubernetes workloads and advanced autoscaler tuning. Profile JVM Services: Deep-dive into Java performance, interpret GC logs, and tune heap/thread configurations to maximize efficiency. Drive Financial Impact: Translate cloud pricing models and scheduling decisions into tangible, multi-million-dollar savings.
What We’re Looking For 5+ years of experience in cloud infrastructure with a proven, hands-on track record in resource efficiency (not just monitoring). Deep Cloud & K8s expertise: Strong knowledge of GCP/GKE (or equivalent AWS/Azure depth with a willingness to switch). Strong Java/JVM skills: Ability to profile services, debug resource contention, and optimize runtime configurations.
Proven results: You have personally implemented cost-optimization initiatives that delivered measurable savings in a cloud-native environment. Quick Perks Highly competitive salary, equity, and premium benefits. Flexible work policy (work from home or the office).
Massively scalable tech stack with real engineering autonomy
