Senior Cloud Infrastructure Engineer, Cloud Foundations

About this role

Lambda, The Superintelligence Cloud, is a leader in AI cloud infrastructure serving tens of thousands of customers. Our customers range from AI researchers to enterprises and hyperscalers. Lambda's mission is to make compute as ubiquitous as electricity and give everyone the power of superintelligence. One person, one GPU.

If you'd like to build the world's best AI cloud, join us.

This is a new team, and this role helps define it. Working closely with Security, GRC, IT, and the engineering teams that consume the foundation, this position turns policy into working controls and paved paths, so that hundreds of engineers can safely self-serve instead of filing requests.

• Implement least-privilege access and compliance automation in line with company requirements and policies, replacing manual access and provisioning work with self-service
• Help shape how this new team operates: its scope, priorities, and service boundaries
