Job Details

We believe the future of our nation’s roadways is automated, safer, more accessible and enables more efficient movement of people and goods. While billions have been invested into developing vehicle technologies – including advanced driver assistance systems (“ADAS”) and autonomous driving solutions – a small fraction has been spent on developing infrastructure to support and enhance roadways. At Cavnue, we are developing and integrating technologies that will power the world’s most technologically advanced roadways (“cavnues”). Our approach is founded in creating a digital model of the roadway that analyzes and optimizes road conditions in real-time, sharing actionable alerts and providing proactive guidance to vehicles and drivers.

Join us in innovating the roads of the future. Cavnue is bridging vehicle technology and road infrastructure to rapidly deliver safer roads today while accelerating the adoption of connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) moving forward. With ongoing deployments in Michigan and Texas, Cavnue is the only company in North America that uses Smart Road technology to improve performance for road operators and deliver a safer, more efficient experience for all road users while preparing for a future with more CAVs. Our mission is to set the new standard for road performance and safety.

Role Overview

The Senior Platform Infrastructure Engineer will serve as a key member of Cavnue’s Infrastructure team, responsible for designing, building, and maintaining highly automated, scalable, and secure cloud and edge infrastructure. 

As the Senior Platform Infrastructure Engineer, you will develop and manage infrastructure systems across multi-cloud environments (primarily Google Cloud Platform, with exposure to AWS/Azure) to support Cavnue’s cutting-edge roadway technology platform. You will leverage Infrastructure-as-Code practices (Terraform) and Kubernetes orchestration to ensure our services are robust and easily reproducible. In addition, you will build internal tools and automation (using Python and/or Golang) to streamline operations, improve developer productivity, and uphold strong security (zero trust) principles. This is a hands-on, high-impact position in a fast-paced, engineering-driven organization, working cross-functionally to deliver the future of smart roadways.

Roles and Responsibilities

  • Design and implement cloud and edge infrastructure: Architect, deploy, and manage cloud and on-premise (edge) systems to support Cavnue’s platform, ensuring high availability, scalability, and security.
  • Infrastructure as Code: Use Terraform to provision and manage infrastructure resources consistently across multiple cloud providers (GCP preferred, with AWS/Azure as needed), enabling reproducible and auditable infrastructure changes.
  • Kubernetes cluster management: Deploy, administer, and optimize Kubernetes clusters for containerized workloads. Handle cluster upgrades, scaling, monitoring, and troubleshoot complex issues in production Kubernetes environments.
  • Automation and tooling: Develop robust automation scripts and internal tools/services in Python and/or Golang to automate routine tasks, integrate systems, and improve operational efficiency across the infrastructure.
  • Monitoring and reliability: Implement monitoring, logging, and alerting solutions to track system performance and reliability. Proactively tune systems and address bottlenecks to maintain smooth operation of critical services.
  • Security and zero trust: Embed security best practices into the infrastructure, enforcing zero trust architecture principles (e.g. least privilege, identity-based access) to protect systems and data. Work closely with security teams to remediate vulnerabilities and ensure compliance with company policies.
  • On-call and incident response: Participate in an on-call rotation during the team’s initial growth phase, quickly responding to infrastructure incidents and leading efforts to restore service and perform root cause analysis.
  • Cross-functional collaboration: Work closely with all teams to understand application needs and translate them into scalable infrastructure solutions. Communicate clearly across teams and document designs and processes for broad understanding.
  • Continuous improvement: Stay up to date with emerging technologies and industry best practices in cloud infrastructure, DevOps, and platform engineering. Lead or contribute to infrastructure projects that enhance deployment speed, cost efficiency, and overall platform reliability.

Requirements

  • Experience: 5+ years of hands-on experience in infrastructure engineering, DevOps, or SRE roles, with a track record of operating production cloud environments at scale.
  • Infrastructure as Code: Strong experience using Terraform for infrastructure provisioning and configuration management in cloud environments.
  • Cloud Platforms: Proficiency in multi-cloud operations – Google Cloud Platform (GCP) is highly preferred; experience with Amazon Web Services (AWS) and/or Microsoft Azure is also acceptable.
  • Kubernetes: Deep understanding of Kubernetes (required), including experience setting up and managing Kubernetes clusters, deploying containerized applications, and debugging cluster and networking issues.
  • Programming & Automation: Ability to write clean, maintainable code for automation and tooling in Python and/or Golang. Experience building internal tools or services to eliminate manual work and integrate systems is a plus.
  • Networking Fundamentals: Familiarity with basic networking concepts and protocols (TCP/IP, DNS, load balancing, VLANs/VPCs, firewalls) and how they apply in cloud and hybrid environments.
  • On-Call Readiness: Willingness to take part in on-call rotations and proven skills in troubleshooting and resolving infrastructure incidents under pressure.
  • Command-Line Proficiency: Strong hands-on skills with Linux and command-line tools; you are comfortable using terminals and utilities (e.g. k9s for Kubernetes, tmux sessions, zsh or similar shells) to manage and debug systems efficiently.
  • Security Mindset: Knowledge of zero trust architecture principles and a habit of incorporating security best practices into infrastructure design (formal security certifications are not required).
  • Communication & Collaboration: Excellent communication skills with the ability to work cross-functionally. You can collaborate in a fast-paced engineering organization, explain complex infrastructure concepts to team members, and contribute to a positive engineering culture.

Salary Range: The compensation range for this position is specific to the location(s) listed below and is the range Cavnue reasonably and in good faith expects to pay for the position taking into account the wide variety of factors that are considered in making compensation decisions, including job-related knowledge; skillset; experience, education and training; certifications; and other relevant business and organizational factors. Actual pay may vary based on these factors and geography.

Remote: $145,000 - $195,000 

Additional Compensation: The successful candidate may be eligible to participate in Cavnue's equity program and/or a discretionary annual incentive program, subject to the rules governing such programs. (Cash or equity incentive awards, if any, will depend on various factors, including, without limitation, individual and company performance.) Note: Cavnue's benefit, compensation and incentive programs are subject to eligibility requirements and other terms of the applicable plan or program.

Benefits:

  • Medical, dental, and vision benefits
  • Life insurance and disability insurance
  • 401(k) with 4% company contribution - no waiting period
  • Parental and adoption leave
  • Fertility and infertility benefits
  • Wellness perks including access to on-demand primary care, virtual health appointments, and online mental health therapy
  • Generous PTO bank, including paid year-end holiday shutdown
  • Company-sponsored lunches twice weekly (in office)
  • Learning and development opportunities
  • Top-of-the-line equipment
