In this role, you will be responsible for designing and operating the foundational cloud primitives and deployment models that power Perplexity's products. You will own the roadmap and technical strategy for agent-driven cloud infrastructure management, architect and scale compute platforms, and build and maintain secure, isolated deployment topologies. You will also implement multi-region strategies for availability, failover, and data locality, and partner with security to deliver enterprise controls. The ideal candidate will have 7+ years of industry experience building and operating production cloud infrastructure, strong experience with Kubernetes/EKS, and proficiency with infrastructure as code (Terraform).
