Senior Software Engineer, Infrastructure
About HUD
HUD is building infrastructure to create RL training data and evals for frontier AI agents, as well as a marketplace to sell these to frontier labs through the HUD marketplace. Our platform is used by frontier labs, Fortune 500 companies, and startups. We’ve raised $16M from top VCs and were YC W25.
About the role
We’re looking for a Platform Engineer who can own the reliability, scale, performance, and developer experience of HUD’s core infrastructure and backend systems.
This is not a pure infrastructure role. The right person has strong production infra experience, but also thinks like a backend engineer: they can reason about service architecture, queues, databases, APIs, deployment safety, performance bottlenecks, and how product requirements translate into resilient systems. You’ll work across AWS, Kubernetes, Terraform, CI/CD, observability, and backend services to make HUD faster, more reliable, cheaper to run, and easier for engineers to build on.
Responsibilities
Own production uptime, latency, provisioning speed, infrastructure cost, and incident response for core platform services
Build and maintain AWS infrastructure with Terraform, Kubern
