About Job

Company Description BabyMilu is building a plush companion that brings your favorite character into real life — delivering the right motivation and delight at the right moment. We’re a small, fast-moving team based in San Francisco, backed by great partners, and obsessed with building human-centered consumer AI. Our product lives at the intersection of hardware, AI research, and community, and we’re tackling the hardest part of personal AI: earning trust and building rich personal context through daily use. If you want to work on systems that touch the real world — and ship to real users who genuinely care — we’d love to meet you. Role Description This is a full-time role for a Senior Cloud / GCP Infrastructure Engineer, ideally on-site in San Francisco 1-2 days per week. You’ll own the design and operation of secure, reliable, scalable cloud infrastructure on Google Cloud Platform, powering consumer-facing experiences and integrations with physical devices. This includes building production-grade environments (dev/stage/prod), improving reliability through SRE practices (SLOs/SLIs, error budgets), and driving automation across deployments, monitoring, incident response, and cost performance. You’ll work closely with firmware, backend, app, and product to ensure our systems are robust, observable, and ready to scale. Key Respnosibilities • Proficiency in Google Cloud Platform (GCP) services, cloud architecture, and managing cloud infrastructure. • Design and operate distributed systems on GCP, including services that communicate with physical devices (IoT-style patterns). • Build and manage isolated environments (dev/test/stage/prod) with strong operational hygiene. • Implement SRE best practices: define SLIs/SLOs, error budgets, alerting, and incident response. • Embed security into infrastructure: IAM, network policy, encryption, secrets management, and compliance-minded practices. • Own CI/CD systems and release pipelines (build/test/security scan/deploy). • Containerize and orchestrate services using Docker + Kubernetes (GKE). • Build monitoring/observability: dashboards, logging, tracing, on-call readiness, and rapid debugging. • Drive cost-performance improvements without sacrificing reliability. • Maintain infrastructure-as-code with clean version control and collaborative workflows. Qualifications Required • Passionate about what we are building - if you are a target user, just dm! • 3+ years of hands-on GCP experience operating production infrastructure for distributed systems. • Strong experience with Kubernetes (GKE) and Docker in real production environments. • Experience implementing SRE practices (SLO/SLI, alerting strategy, incident response, postmortems). • Solid understanding of cloud networking and security: VPC, IAM, firewall rules, service accounts, encryption. • Experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Cloud Build, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins). • Comfortable with at least one backend language: Python / Go / Java. • High ownership, strong debugging instincts, and ability to collaborate across functions. Nice to have • Experience with hardware-connected or IoT systems (device auth, telemetry, OTA patterns, unreliable networks). • Experience handling sensitive user data and privacy/security best practices. • Experience with monitoring stacks (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, ELK/OpenSearch). • Familiarity with React / React Native environments and mobile release constraints. • Game backend experience or building systems that handle real-time user behavior at scale. Why join • You’ll own infra end-to-end and set the reliability/security bar from the start. • Real users + real devices + realtime AI workflows. • Small team, fast iteration, high trust, high craft. job perk: Posted At: 1 day ago, job perk: Schedule Type: Full-time, job perk: Qualifications: No degree mentioned
