Aurelian

Staff Infrastructure Engineer

Seattle, WA, US Full-time

Why Join Us

Aurelian builds state of the art, multimodal conversational AI systems that help save lives. We work directly with 9-1-1 call centers to modernize emergency response workflows - where reliability, speed, and usability aren’t “nice-to-haves,” they’re mission-critical.

We’re hiring a Staff Infrastructure Engineer to help build out the Aurelian platform that powers our realtime AI agents. Your customers are other engineers on the team; you'll create the systems, tools, and abstractions that make everyone more productive and our platform more reliable.

What You’ll Be Doing

A few examples you may work on based on our current priorities:

  • Analytics: Build out analytics infrastructure using ClickHouse to handle massive increases in traffic and increasingly complex queries.
  • Observability: Creating great instrumentation, logging, and monitoring tools to give us as much visibility as possible into where calls go wrong in production.
  • Developer Tooling: Testing frameworks, CLIs, automations, etc. that help our team move quickly with AI coding tools without sacrificing reliability or confidence.

Who We’re Looking For

  • You thrive on autonomy and constantly look for new areas we can improve.
  • You have 6+ years of experience in infrastructure, platform, or backend engineering roles, ideally at companies where reliability and scale are serious challenges.
  • You are comfortable across areas of the stack from backend application code to cloud infrastructure.
  • You are excited by the challenges of building AI systems at scale.
