About

About Echelon Echelon is the AI operating system for corporate transformation — your agentic command center for running a leaner, faster, and more aligned business. We integrate directly with enterprise systems (HRIS, ERP, CRM, CLM, Email, etc.) to create a live map of people, contracts, and goals — then our AI engine recommends what to do next: where to rightsize, where to invest, and where AI can replace or augment workflows. Backed by (REDACTED Tier-1) and (REDACTED Tier-1). Part of OpenAI's Grove pilot. Live pilots with PE, government, and enterprise customers.
The Role We're hiring our Founding Infrastructure Engineer — the person who will define how Echelon runs, scales, and deploys into customer environments. You'll own everything from cloud architecture and deployment automation to BYOC and on-prem enterprise spin-ups, working directly with customers and founders to make Echelon enterprise-ready by default. This is a 0→1 role. You'll design the patterns, tooling, and automation that every future deployment will build on.

Design and automate our infrastructure and deployment frameworks using Terraform, ECS Fargate, RDS, and VPC patterns

Build reusable deployment automation for multi-tenant and BYOC setups

Work directly with customer IT and InfoSec teams to integrate securely into their stacks

Stand up and manage CI/CD pipelines for reproducible releases

Harden and monitor environments using CloudWatch, GuardDuty, WAF, and equivalents

Write and maintain architecture + data flow documentation for enterprise onboarding

Shape infra, security, and deployment culture as a founding member of the engineering org

What You Bring

>4 years in DevOps / Infrastructure / Platform Engineering

Deep expertise with AWS (VPC, ECS, RDS, CloudFront, IAM, Secrets Manager)

Experience with Azure or GCP equivalents (AKS, App Gateway, Private Link, Managed Postgres)

Skilled in Terraform / Pulumi and CI/CD (GitHub Actions, CircleCI, etc.)

Strong grasp of networking, identity, and security controls (VPNs, SGs, WAFs, SSO/OAuth)

Customer-facing ability — can confidently lead enterprise deployment calls

High-agency and execution-driven — you like shipping fast and owning outcomes

Nice to Have

Experience with GovCloud or regulated environments (SOC2, FedRAMP)

Exposure to AI / LLM infrastructure or data-sensitive workloads

Comfort with hybrid / multi-cloud networking and identity

You'll Thrive Here If You

Love owning systems end-to-end

Can move between deep infra and customer-facing work

Thrive in high-intensity, high-impact environments

Want to help define how the world's largest enterprises deploy agentic AI systems

Why Echelon We're early, funded, and shipping fast — already live with paying pilots and inbound demand. You'll work directly with the founders (ex-Meta, Citadel) and help define the product, architecture, and DNA of the company. This is a founding-tier role with high ownership, high intensity, and meaningful equity.
