About Moonvalley

Moonvalley's mission is to solve Visual Intelligence in the age of generative AI. We are building technology that can tell stories, scale creativity, and understand both the physics and semantics of the world. With Marey, our first high-definition foundation model trained exclusively on licensed data, we are powering the next era of cinematic, commercial, and enterprise-grade creation.

Our team is an unprecedented convergence of talent across industries. Our elite AI scientists from Deepmind, Google, Microsoft, Meta & Snap, have decades of collective experience in machine learning and computational creativity. We have also established the first AI-enabled movie studio in Hollywood, filled with accomplished filmmakers and visionary creative talent. We work with the top producers, actors, and filmmakers in Hollywood as well as creative-driven global brands. So far we've raised over $100M+ from world-class investors including General Catalyst, Bessemer, Khosla Ventures & YCombinator – and we're just getting started.

Job Summary

We're hiring an Infrastructure Engineer to design and maintain the systems that power Moonvalley's generative AI research and product development. You'll be joining at a pivotal moment, helping to define the foundations of our infrastructure as we train and deploy cutting-edge video foundation models.

In this role, you'll work closely with researchers, engineers, and cross-functional partners to ensure our infrastructure is scalable, reliable, and efficient. From managing GPU clusters to optimizing ETL pipelines, you'll be instrumental in ensuring the technical performance and productivity of our entire AI platform.

What you'll do

• Build, manage, and scale GPU infrastructure using tools like Kubernetes, Terraform, or Pulumi
• Maintain and optimize ETL pipelines using Spark, Ray, or Airflow
• Operate and improve our telemetry and monitoring stack (Datadog, Grafana, Weights & Biases)
• Manage CI/CD pipelines and development tooling (GitHub, PyTorch, Python)
• Track and optimize datasets, checkpoints, compute utilization, and related assets
• Automate repetitive tasks to improve efficiency and reduce friction across engineering workflows
• Participate in an on-call rotation to resolve infrastructure issues and ensure uptime
• Provide tooling, documentation, and support to accelerate internal engineering productivity

What we're looking for

• Strong generalist with experience managing large-scale, high-performance infrastructure
• Skilled in designing scalable systems for compute, data, and developer tooling
• Comfortable in high-urgency environments with the ability to prioritize for impact
• Familiar with infrastructure stacks for AI model training and experimentation
• Experienced with Kubernetes, Terraform/Pulumi, Spark/Ray, and observability tools
• Pragmatic problem-solver who favors automation and simplicity over complexity
• Open to using and contributing to open-source tooling when appropriate
• Bonus: experience as a Cluster Engineer, Data Engineer, or Developer Advocate in AI/ML environments

What we offer (compensation & benefits)

• Competitive salary and equity
• Private health coverage
• Pension contribution
• Unlimited paid vacation
• Fully-distributed, async-first culture
• Hardware setup of your choice
• Stipends for phone, internet, and meals

In our team, we approach our work with the dedication similar to Olympic athletes. Anticipate occasional late nights and weekends dedicated to our mission. We understand this level of commitment may not suit everyone, and we openly communicate this expectation.

If you're motivated by deeply technical problems, a seemingly never-ending uphill battle and the opportunity to build (and own) a generational technology company, we can give you what you're looking for.

All business roles at Moonvalley are hybrid positions by default, with some fully remote depending on the job scope. We meet a few times every year, usually in London, UK or North America (LA, Toronto) as a company.

If you're excited about the opportunity to work on cutting-edge AI technology and help shape the future of media and entertainment, we encourage you to apply.
