Junior Field Engineer - Cloud Infrastructure

Change Cloud Infra Forever

We’re a fast-growing startup in the cloud computing space. We believe that while cloud platforms are functionally great and quite powerful, they are built on legacy software and are irritably inefficient (and expensive!). Based on award-winning research and open-source tech, we have built Unikraft Cloud, a next generation cloud platform that allows for exponentially better efficiency, performance and security.

What You’ll Own

Customer Deployments: Work directly with clients to onboard and migrate complex infrastructure onto Unikraft Cloud.
Infrastructure Optimization: Troubleshoot, refine, and ensure the performance and reliability of customer deployments.
Container & Linux Expertise: Leverage your hands-on knowledge of Docker, Dockerfiles, and Linux-based systems to support and scale infrastructure.
CI/CD Enablement: Design and maintain robust CI/CD pipelines to streamline deployment and integration.
Technical Partner: Act as a trusted advisor, helping clients navigate the intricacies of next-gen cloud infra.
Product Feedback Loop: Collaborate cross-functionally with product and engineering to incorporate customer feedback into our roadmap.

Why This Role is Career-Defining

As an early Field Engineer, you’ll play a critical role in shaping both the user experience and our core infrastructure. You’ll work on real-world problems, engage deeply with customers, and operate across diverse environments and languages—from Rust and Go to Python and C++. You’ll be exposed to the full lifecycle of customer adoption, and your work will directly influence product direction and success.

Why You’ll Love This Team

Next-gen product: A hyperscale-efficient cloud built for serious infra needs—built on research, battle-tested by customers.
Customer-first culture: Your work with users directly shapes what we build and how we build it.
Fast and fearless: We ship fast, solve real problems, and push the boundaries of what infra can do.
Deep tech: From microVMs to advanced container orchestration, this is where infra engineers thrive.

What We’re Looking For

Infra Fluency: Strong experience with containers (Docker, Dockerfiles), Linux, and CI/CD design.
Problem-Solver: Excellent debugging and optimization skills with a customer-focused mindset.
Communicator: Comfortable working across technical and non-technical teams.
Versatile Engineer: Ability to learn fast and adapt to different runtimes, build systems, and environments (Rust, Node, Go, Python, C++, etc.).
Extra Points: Familiarity with OCI standards, QEMU/KVM, Firecracker, Cloud-Hypervisor, and direct customer-facing experience.

Pay and Benefits

Fully remote, fully flexible: work from anywhere, set your own hours.
Competitive salary and opportunities for career growth.
Six weeks of total time off for rest and recharging.
Generous hardware/equipment budget.
In-person team retreats to collaborate and celebrate wins.
