About the role

Pratilipi is building a generational company in storytelling, and infrastructure is core to that bet. We're looking for an
Infrastructure Engineer
— a hands-on role embedded in a high-growth product team using AWS, CI/CD, our self-managed data layer, and the operational substrate for the AI workloads now landing in production. You'll help us self-host our own models and take the infrastructure multi-region as we expand globally.

Expect a lot of breadth, with depth in a few things that matter. You won't be a specialist hiding behind a narrow remit — you'll move across AWS, CI/CD, databases, CDN, and AI infra, and go deep where it counts.

What you'll do

1. Own our AWS infrastructure through Terraform — ECS on EC2, VPCs, IAM, autoscaling, rolling deploys. Clickops-free console as the target.
2. Build Jenkins pipelines that are rapid, safe, and self-serve. Be in the deploy paths, not just the platform.
3. Drive cost optimisation.
4. Own media delivery at scale — Cloudflare CDN, image/video/audio transcoding, format/device delivery — tuned for latency,



cache hit ratio, and egress cost.
5. Operate the self-managed data layer with service teams — RDS MySQL, MongoDB, Valkey, plus managed MSK and ScyllaDB Cloud. Lead migrations end-to-end (e.g. the ongoing Redis → Valkey).
6. Stand up the operational substrate for AI in production — GPU capacity, inference gateways, key rotation, rate limits, cost-per-request visibility. Build observability for LLM agents: traces, token/cost accounting, eval hooks, alerts on silent regressions.
7. Partner with the AI/ML team on self-hosting models — capacity planning, vLLM / TGI serving, canary rollouts, and cost/latency trade-offs vs managed providers.
8. Own reliability across services and infra — SLOs, alerting, incident response, blameless postmortems. Move teams from firefighting to proactive reliability.
9. Once you have the context, add the guardrails — IaC checks, deploy gates, paved paths — that make the right thin
