Software Engineer, Product Infrastructure

FieldAI’s Irvine team is where embodied AI meets real robots, real sensors, and real field deployments. Based in the heart of Southern California’s robotics ecosystem, we build risk-aware, reliable, field-ready AI systems that solve the hardest problems in robotics and unlock the full potential of embodied intelligence. If you want your work to ship, get tested on hardware, and improve through real deployments, Irvine is the place.

We go beyond typical data-driven approaches or pure transformer-only architectures, combining rigorous engineering with learning systems proven in globally deployed solutions that deliver results today and get better every time our robots run in the field.

We are looking for an experienced infrastructure engineer to help build and operate the internal platform systems that power engineering and production workloads across the company.

This role focuses on Kubernetes infrastructure, deployment automation, cloud platform engineering, observability, and production reliability. You’ll work closely with software engineering teams to improve developer experience, deployment velocity, and operational scalability across the organization.

• Design, deploy, and operate cloud infrastructure on AWS using infrastructure-as-code tooling such as AWS CDK and Terraform
• Build and maintain Kubernetes platforms and supporting infrastructure across cloud and internal environments
• Develop and improve CI/CD systems, deployment workflows, and Git Ops tooling using Git Hub Actions and ArgoCD
• Improve reliability, scalability, observability, and operational maturity across distributed systems and data pipelines
• Debug and resolve production issues spanning application, infrastructure, networking, and deployment layers
• Partner with engineering teams to improve developer productivity, deployment velocity, and operational efficiency
• Implement monitoring, alerting, autoscaling, and incident response best practices for production systems
• Help define infrastructure standards, deployment patterns, and operational best practices as systems evolve

• 10+ years of experience in infrastructure engineering, platform engineering, production engineering, or Dev Ops-focused software engineering roles
• Strong hands-on Kubernetes experience operating production systems at scale
• Deep experience with AWS infrastructure, including networking, IAM, compute, storage, and observability services
• Experience with infrastructure-as-code tooling such as Terraform, AWS CDK, or Cloud Formation
• Strong programming skills in Python, Go, Type Script, or similar languages
• Experience designing and operating distributed systems and event-driven architectures
• Strong debugging and incident response skills across infrastructure and application layers
• Experience building CI/CD systems and deployment automation pipelines
• Ability to work cross-functionally and take ownership of systems end-to-end

• Experience with Git Ops workflows and tools such as ArgoCD
• Experience with observability tooling such as Prometheus, Grafana, Open Telemetry, or Datadog
• Experience operating Kafka, PostgreSQL, Redis, or other distributed data systems
• Experience with autoscaling systems such as KEDA
• Experience building internal developer platforms or shared engineering infrastructure

Our salary range is generous and we consider each individual’s background and experience when determining final compensation. Base pay may vary based on role scope, job-related knowledge, skills, experience, and the Irvine, California market.

In Irvine, you will work where the robots are. Our local team builds and tests systems on real hardware with real sensors, then ships them to operate in unstructured, previously…
