Software Engineer, Infrastructure

Epiq is hiring a Software Engineer, Infrastructure for Epiq AI Labs, which builds an AI platform for corporate legal departments and global law firms. The role builds and operates cloud and GPU infrastructure, automation, and platform reliability and security across cloud and on-prem environments, partnering with engineering, product, and security teams.

Responsibilities:

• Write, test, review, and maintain reusable Terraform modules and infrastructure automation for provisioning, environment configuration, and drift detection and remediation
• Operate Kubernetes in production, including orchestration, autoscaling, resource governance, network policy, and cluster lifecycle management
• Build and maintain CI/CD and GitOps release automation, improving build and test feedback and targeting zero-downtime rollouts through progressive delivery, safe rollback, and protection of in-flight requests and long-running jobs
• Operate the Epiq-managed GPU infrastructure (cloud and on-prem) that serves Epiq AI's in-house models: cluster management and scheduling, utilization and cost, observability, and model-serving reliability
• Define platform service-level objectives and build the metrics, tracing, alerting, and error-budget practices required to support them
• Implement security and compliance infrastructure, including hardening, audit logging, data-residency controls, retention, legal hold, and audit evidence collection
• Build and maintain network, secrets, key, credential, TLS, and certificate-lifecycle infrastructure
• Use AI coding agents throughout development while owning the outcome — the design, specifications and test plans, code review, and verification of correctness, security, and maintainability — and ship major changes behind automated tests and controlled rollouts, with stakeholder validation where appropriate
• Build and maintain AI-native developer tooling and technical design documentation, and contribute to architectural reviews
• Participate in the on-call rotation and incident response; maintain runbooks, test backup and restore procedures, and turn incident findings into lasting fixes
• Senior+ level: Define the foundational infrastructure architecture and patterns (deployment, environment topology, observability, and security) that other teams build on, and lead major migrations, modernization, and capacity planning while protecting production availability
• Senior+ level: Raise the engineering bar by promoting best engineering practice, building reusable platform primitives, mentoring engineers, and partnering with product and engineering leaders on technical direction while staying hands-on and accountable for delivering working software
