Lead Cloud Engineer & Database Administrator

• Build something that matters. Our mission is to revolutionize the insurance industry and every person on this team has a direct hand in that mission. You will see your work shape decisions that affect real carriers and their customers.
• A culture built on real values. We lead with Integrity, Responsibility, and Trust. That means we follow through on what we say we’ll do, own our mistakes, and treat everyone's time and ideas with respect.
• Innovation is an expectation, not a perk. Creativity and AI is woven into how we work and what we build. You’re expected to experiment, bring better approaches back to the team, and out-think a fast-moving market.
• Mentorship and real ownership from day one with a path toward growth, not just a title. We are startup focused on growing together, supporting one another, and helping everyone expand their skills.
• Competitive compensation and comprehensive benefits, including paid holidays, paid time off, and company benefit plans (e.g. medical, dental).
  This role is eligible for an Equity grant upon hire, subject to board approval. Equity amount based on experience
• Flexible and hybrid work options designed around outcomes, not hours.

Carriers make pricing and product decisions on data they have to be able to trust, and all of it rides on infrastructure someone has to own outright. That’s this role. You’ll own the cloud environments, data stores, networks, and deployment pipelines behind the Insuraviews platform, reporting directly to the CTO.

The work is senior and hands‑on. You’ll architect and build our cloud footprint across GCP, AWS, and/or Azure, manage it as code in Terraform, administer the PostgreSQL databases the platform runs on, and build the CI/CD pipelines the engineering team ships through. You’ll own monitoring, incident response, and disaster recovery - the parts of the job where being right matters to customers in a regulated industry.

You’ll also design the infrastructure that supports AI and machine learning workloads on the platform, and use AI‑assisted tooling in your own work where it makes what you ship better.

You’ll do well here if you’d rather own systems end to end than hold a slice of them, and if you’re the person who wants to be on point when something breaks. You’ll set cloud and infrastructure standards for the engineering organization, document the tradeoffs behind them, and mentor developers and data engineers on cloud and infrastructure‑as‑code practices. As the platform and team grow, you may help define, hire for, and lead a small cloud and platform team.

1. Cloud Architecture & Infrastructure

• Own the design, build-out, and ongoing evolution of Insuraviews’ cloud environments across GCP, AWS, and/or Azure, ensuring infrastructure is secure, scalable, and cost-effective.
• Define and maintain infrastructure as code using Terraform, establishing reusable modules, version control practices, and review standards for all infrastructure changes.
• Design and manage containerized workloads and their orchestration, including image standards, registries, runtime configuration, and scaling policies.
• Architect and administer cloud networking, including VPCs, subnets, routing, load balancing, DNS, private connectivity, and firewall rules that support both performance and least-privilege access.
• Right-size and monitor cloud resources, surfacing clear tradeoffs between cost, performance, and reliability…
