Netradyne harnesses the power of Computer Vision and Edge Computing to revolutionize the modern-day transportation ecosystem. We are a leader in fleet safety solutions. With growth exceeding 4x year over year, our solution is quickly being recognized as a significant disruptive technology. Our team is growing, and we need forward-thinking, uncompromising, competitive team members to continue to facilitate our growth.
Role Summary
The Infra-Dev team builds the software that runs Netradyne's cloud infrastructure. We write the internal platforms, automation and AI agents that DevOps, Database and engineering teams use every day: cloud cost analytics and anomaly detection, self-service service provisioning on AWS, an internal developer platform on Kubernetes, database access and upgrade automation, S3 data lifecycle and retention, and agentic tooling for infrastructure operations and on-call.
We are looking for a Senior Staff Engineer to provide technical leadership for Infra-Dev. You will own the team's technical goals and major platforms, decide how new initiatives are approached, and stay hands-on in design and code. You bring wide-ranging experience across cloud infrastructure, software engineering, databases and cost management, and you understand how these disciplines affect one another.
Role and Responsibilities
-
Act as technical owner and architect for Infra-Dev's major platforms: the cloud operations and cost platform, the service provisioning tooling, the internal developer platform and infrastructure AI agents.
-
Lead the design and delivery of multi-quarter initiatives such as containerising services onto Kubernetes (EKS), GitOps-based internal developer platforms, an infrastructure registry of service and resource dependencies, and infrastructure-as-code standardisation.
-
Decide the methods, tools and standards for new assignments, including build-vs-buy evaluations, technology selection and migration plans.
-
Lead cloud cost management (FinOps) engineering: cost allocation and unit economics (for example, cost per device or per feature), forecasting, anomaly detection, Savings Plans and Reserved Instance coverage, and COGS/OpEx reporting for engineering and finance leadership.
-
Act as a technical point of contact for Finance and cloud vendors (AWS account and TAM teams, tooling vendors) on cost analysis, forecasts, commitments and renewals.
-
Own the architecture of data lifecycle and storage-cost programs for petabyte-scale S3 data: retention policies, storage-class transitions, data retirement and safe deletion with customer-specific exceptions.
