Senior Infrastructure Engineer

We are a closely-knit team aspiring to change the world through disruptive technology. We are innovators. We are tinkerers. We are problem-solvers. And we have a fair amount of magic dust up our sleeves. We have a plan for fleet-level deployment of autonomous vehicles, and we are looking for the best-of-the-best to join us in making this a reality.

Based in the U.S. and Asia, Venti Technologies is the leader in safe-speed autonomous logistics systems, developing the future of goods transportation. Using rigorous mathematics, deep learning, and theoretically-grounded algorithms, Venti has a proprietary collection of autonomy technologies including a suite of powerful logistics algorithms. Venti’s proven value proposition of saving costs, increasing vehicle utilization, and improving safety is recognized by customers and driving growth. Launched in 2018, Venti brings together an unsurpassed team internationally. The company has autonomous systems deployed in Asia for industrial and logistics sites and a growing pipeline. Venti has offices in Cambridge (Massachusetts, USA), Suzhou (China), and Singapore – our Asian headquarters.

• Provide and operate a production-ready hybrid infrastructure platform to host all services and applications—online, offline, data, streaming, platform, and internal tooling—for the autonomous driving business.

• Design, deploy, operate, and scale production Kubernetes clusters across on-premises, cloud, and hybrid environments; own capacity planning, autoscaling, upgrades, and multi-tenancy.

• Ensure high availability and meet strict SLO/SLA requirements for central and customer-site deployments; participate in incident management and post-incident reviews.

• Design and implement secure networking for on-premises, cloud, hybrid, and customer environments, including VPN, switches, routers, firewalls, and potential 5G adoption for high-throughput data/video streaming, following cybersecurity best practices.

• Define and operate observability, logging, monitoring, and alerting across the infrastructure and application stack; establish SLO/SLI-based alerting, dashboards, and distributed tracing to reduce MTTR.

• Build multi-environment application deployment and release automation, including blue/green and canary strategies, GitOps, Helm/Kustomize, and service mesh for traffic management, mTLS, and observability.

• Develop internal platform capabilities, reusable IaC modules, golden paths, and self-service provisioning to improve developer velocity and infrastructure reliability.

• Establish production infrastructure operational processes: change management, capacity planning, security patching, disaster recovery, and operational runbooks.

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science or a related field.

• 5+ years of experience implementing and operating on-premises and cloud compute, storage, and networking infrastructure.

• 3+ years of experience designing and operating production Kubernetes/OpenShift clusters at scale, including autoscaling, cluster scaling, networking/CNI, storage, security, and upgrades.

• Excellent Linux administration and scripting skills; strong hands-on experience with Bash, Python, and Terraform.

• Experience with hybrid infrastructure across onprem, Azure, AWS, or GCP.

• Experience with Infrastructure as Code, GitOps, and configuration management: Terraform, Ansible, Packer, ArgoCD/Flux, Helm/Kustomize.

• Experience running Docker and Kubernetes/OpenShift in production at scale.

• Experience designing and operating observability stacks: Prometheus/Grafana, ELK/Loki/OpenSearch, OpenTelemetry; ability to define SLO/SLI and actionable alerting.

• Strong understanding of infrastructure security: network segmentation, mTLS, RBAC, secrets management, image signing, vulnerability management, and CIS benchmarks.

• Hands-on experience with on-premises networking: VPN, switches, routers, firewalls, and troubleshooting network bottlenecks.

• Excellent communication and collaboration skills; ability to work with cross-functional teams and customer-facing deployment environments.

Bonus experience

• Experience operating OpenStack onprem/hybrid cluster.

• Experience designing internal developer platforms or platform engineering capabilities, including self-service infrastructure, golden paths, and IaC module design.

• Production experience with service mesh at multi-cluster scale.

• Experience with high-throughput video streaming infrastructure, 5G connectivity, or autonomous driving/robotics/edge environments.
