SearchApi is hiring a Senior Infrastructure Engineer

About the Role

Shape the backbone of a high-scale SaaS platform as a Senior Infrastructure Engineer. You'll take full ownership of our cloud infrastructure, designing systems that support billions of requests while ensuring resilience, observability, and efficient scaling.

What You’ll Do

  • Design and manage containerized browser infrastructure with session isolation, crash recovery, and dynamic scaling
  • Implement and refine observability: build actionable dashboards, alerting, and logging systems engineers trust
  • Write and maintain infrastructure as code using Terraform across AWS services
  • Optimize autoscaling, capacity planning, and cloud costs across multiple regions
  • Diagnose and resolve complex production issues—from memory leaks to network bottlenecks
  • Develop disaster recovery plans and incident response procedures
  • Mentor engineers on infrastructure patterns, security, and operational discipline
  • Explore new technologies, including serverless and alternative cloud providers, to meet evolving needs

What We’re Looking For

  • Proven experience with AWS: ECS, EKS, Fargate, RDS, VPC, and IAM at scale
  • Strong command of Terraform and infrastructure-as-code practices
  • Hands-on work with Docker, container orchestration, and Linux systems
  • Experience running headless browsers or similar high-concurrency services
  • Solid understanding of networking: TCP, websockets, load balancing, and multi-region architectures
  • Fluency in debugging low-level system issues—memory leaks, zombie processes, container anomalies
  • Experience building observability pipelines using tools like Prometheus, Grafana, or Datadog
  • Excellent written communication: documentation, post-mortems, and technical PRs matter
  • Self-driven mindset—you identify problems and act without waiting for direction
  • Comfort operating in a fast-paced, remote-first environment where results define progress

Why This Stands Out

You’re not a cog in a large team. You own the stack. Our infrastructure powers real production workloads for major clients, and your decisions directly impact performance and reliability. We’re bootstrapped and profitable, so we focus on sustainable growth, not investor pressure.

This is a fully remote role with flexibility to work from anywhere. You’ll collaborate asynchronously, so clear, concise writing is essential. Annual team retreats—like our recent one in Spain—offer rare moments to connect in person.

If you thrive on solving hard technical challenges, value ownership, and want to see your work run at scale, this is the role for you.
