Job description
From Restate’s job post, as they wrote it.
Build the infrastructure platform powering durable execution
The next generation of applications will be long-running, integration-heavy, and increasingly autonomous.
As systems become more agentic and failure-prone, durable execution transforms reliability from an application concern into a platform capability.
Restate sits at the center of that shift.
Restate (restate.dev) turns AI agents, workflows, and backend services into durable processes, allowing developers to focus on business logic rather than retries, state recovery, and failure handling.
Read the full description
We're looking for a Senior to Staff-level Cloud Infrastructure Engineer to own the infrastructure platform that powers Restate across open source, self-hosted deployments, multi-tenant SaaS, and Bring Your Own Cloud environments.
This is a high-ownership role at the intersection of cloud infrastructure, distributed systems, and platform engineering.
What you'll own
* The infrastructure and control plane powering Restate Cloud.
* The systems enabling BYOC and self-hosted deployments.
* Reliability, observability, and operational excellence across the fleet.
* Automation and tooling that allow the platform to scale efficiently.
* Production operations and participation in the cloud on-call rotation.
You will operate across networking, storage, Kubernetes, cloud APIs, observability, and infrastructure automation while owning systems end-to-end from design through production.
Why this role is interesting
Durable execution is becoming foundational infrastructure
As AI systems become increasingly long-running and stateful, durable runtimes are emerging as a core infrastructure primitive.
You'll help build the platform enabling that transition.
Build infrastructure from first principles
Restate reimagines durable execution as a lightweight, self-contained runtime:
* Single Rust binary deployment
* Custom storage layer
* Low-latency orchestration engine
* Integrated observability
* No external database dependency
Work on systems where reliability matters
Restate powers workloads running inside Fortune 500 enterprises, financial institutions, and AI-native startups building production-grade agents and workflows.
The systems you build operate in environments where correctness and operational simplicity are mission critical.
Work with exceptional engineers
You'll work directly with engineers who built foundational distributed systems at global scale, including creators of Apache Flink and leaders from Meta's messaging infrastructure teams.
What we're looking for
Must have
* Experience operating large-scale SaaS or platform infrastructure in production.
* Deep understanding of cloud infrastructure and Kubernetes-based systems.
* Experience with infrastructure-as-code and cloud automation.
* Strong software engineering skills in Rust, Go, or C++.
* Comfort owning systems from design through operations.
* Ability to thrive in ambiguity and operate with significant autonomy.
Nice to have
* Kubernetes operator development.
* Cluster API, Crossplane, or Terraform experience.
* Experience with multi-tenant control planes.
* Experience operating infrastructure in enterprise or compliance-sensitive environments.
* Familiarity with durable execution systems or workflow runtimes.
This role may not be a fit if
* You prefer working on runtime internals rather than cloud infrastructure.
* You prefer architecture and review work over hands-on ownership.
* You are uncomfortable operating production infrastructure or participating in on-call rotations.
Location
* Fully remote within the United States.
* East Coast candidates are preferred to improve on-call coverage.
* Minimal travel requirements.
