The Role

As our Senior Cloud Infrastructure Engineer, you will own the maintainability and scalability of the infrastructure that powers Inato's platform. Reporting to Bastien, our CTO, you will split your time between projects that strengthen our infrastructure and run work that keeps it healthy.

Until now, infrastructure work has been a shared responsibility between all members of the tech department. Now that we have multiples teams, more complex services, and a rapidly growing volume of patient data and system integrations, we believe it's time for a dedicated position. This is a high-ownership, senior individual-contributor role: you will inherit a functioning system, and be responsible for bringing it to the next level.

Your success will be measured by the impact of your projects on product delivery, and your ability to prevent and solve production issues.

Responsibilities

• Lead projects that improve the maintainability and scalability of our cloud infrastructure

• Own day-to-day infrastructure operations, solving problems directly or making sure they are dispatched to the right team

• Coach other tech team members on how to best leverage the capabilities of our cloud infrastructure

Qualifications

Must-have

• 5+ years in a similar role (infrastructure, platform, SRE, DevOps)

• Strong experience building and maintaining highly available cloud infrastructure environments using code, directly supporting product delivery

• Deep understanding of Linux systems, containerization and orchestration

• Solid networking fundamentals

• Excellent communication, able to translate between technical and non-technical audiences

Nice-to-have

• Experience with GCP

• Experience as the first or sole dedicated infrastructure hire

• Experience in a regulated or healthcare environment

Concrete project examples

• Redesign our IAM model. Move us from ad-hoc, hand-managed permissions to a clean least-privilege structure managed as code, making access auditable, consistent, and easy to reason about as we scale.

• Centralize our logging. Re-architect how we handle logs so everything flows into a single dedicated sink project, giving the team one reliable place to observe and debug across environments.

• Bring our cloud costs under control. Build cost visibility and guardrails into our GCP footprint, surfacing waste, setting budgets and alerting, and making cost a first-class signal in how we run infrastructure.

Technical environment

• Cloud: GCP, GKE, Cloud Run

• Infrastructure-as-Code: Terraform

• CI/CD: GitHub, GitHub Actions
