Senior Cloud Infrastructure Engineer

About this role

## Build the infrastructure platform powering durable execution

The next generation of applications will be long-running, integration-heavy, and increasingly autonomous.

As systems become more agentic and failure-prone, durable execution transforms reliability from an application concern into a platform capability.

Restate sits at the center of that shift.

Restate ([restate.dev](http://restate.dev)) turns AI agents, workflows, and backend services into durable processes, allowing developers to focus on business logic rather than retries, state recovery, and failure handling.

We're looking for a Senior to Staff-level Cloud Infrastructure Engineer to own the infrastructure platform that powers Restate across open source, self-hosted deployments, multi-tenant SaaS, and Bring Your Own Cloud environments.

This is a high-ownership role at the intersection of cloud infrastructure, distributed systems, and platform engineering.

## What you'll own

• The infrastructure and control plane powering Restate Cloud.
• The systems enabling BYOC and self-hosted deployments.
• Reliability, observability, and operational excellence across the fleet.
• Automation and tooling that allow the platform to scale efficiently.
• Production operations and participation in the cloud on-call rotation.

You will operate across networking, storage, Kubernetes, cloud APIs, observability, and infrastructure automation while owning systems end-to-end from design through production.

## Why this role is interesting

### Durable execution is becoming foundational infrastructure

As AI systems become increasingly long-running and stateful, durable runtimes are emerging as a core infrastructure primitive.

You'll help build the platform enabling that transition.

### Build infrastructure from first principles

Restate reimagines durable execution as a lightweight, self-contained runtime:

- Single Rust binary deployment
- Custom storage layer
- Low-latency orchestration engine
