About this role
## About Air Space Intelligence (ASI) ASI’s mission-critical technology powers decision-making across aviation, defense, energy, and other critical infrastructure domains. Backed by top-tier investors including Andreessen Horowitz, Spark Capital, and Renegade Partners, ASI delivers operational decision superiority—compressing days of analysis into seconds of action. ## Civil Aviation Team ASI is modernizing America’s air traffic control system on an accelerated timeline, tackling one of the world’s most complex real-time optimization challenges: safely coordinating tens of thousands of daily flights in a dynamic, safety-critical environment. The team is building next-generation trajectory prediction and decision-support systems, while preparing the airspace for emerging technologies like commercial space operations and advanced air mobility. ## What You Will Do As a **Lead Cloud Platform Engineer** for the Civil Aviation team, you will: - Own the architecture, reliability, and evolution of a cloud platform supporting mission-critical aviation systems. - Lead a small team while staying hands-on—building and operating infrastructure that must scale globally. - Maintain **~99.99% availability** and support safe, continuous delivery in a **24/7** environment. - Define and drive platform architecture and best practices for: - Infrastructure-as-code - Kubernetes-based systems - Deployment pipelines - Production operations - Own reliability end-to-end: - Design for failure - Implement observability (metrics, logging, tracing) - Lead incident response, postmortems, and continuous improvement - Manage and develop a small team: - Set clear direction and high standards - Create systems (metrics, processes, feedback loops) that enable autonomous operation with a strong reliability/ownership culture ## What We Value - Strong experience building and operating highly reliable cloud platforms (e.g., **~99.99% uptime**) - Deep expertise in **AWS**, including multi-region and highly available architectures - Proficiency with **Kubernetes** and containerized environments, plus infrastructure-as-code tools (e.g., **Terraform**, **Helm**) - Experience designing and maintaining **CI/CD** pipelines for safe, frequent production releases - Hands-on experience with progressive delivery (e.g., **canary deployments**, safe rollback strategies) - Strong observability/monitoring experience (e.g., **Grafana**, **Prometheus**) - Experience leading small teams (1–2+ years) while remaining hands-on - Ability to own platform architecture end-to-end (design through production operations) - Proven track record driving reliability culture and production excellence - Experience operating/supporting **24/7** production systems - Ability to lead design reviews and make architectural decisions in distributed environments - Experience with **FedRAMP High** environments or other regulated cloud systems (plus) - Exposure to high-availability systems (e.g., “four nines” reliability) (plus) - Proficiency leveraging modern **LLM tools** to accelerate development workflows and improve code quality ## How We Hire We treat the interview process as a simulation of working together—built around you, not as a screening test. ## Compliance / Eligibility Note ASI works with export-controlled technology and restricted U.S. Government data, including contracts that may require U.S. immigration status and location restrictions for performing personnel.
