Senior SW Engineer - Infrastructure
@ hireVouch
Remote in Canada
Overview
hireVouch is hiring a senior software engineer to build the systems that provision, update, secure, and observe agent environments on Azure VMs running Dockerized workloads. The work is application code that controls infrastructure primitives such as queues, locks, VM management, and migrations, not a traditional DevOps role. Requires 6+ years of software engineering with deep infrastructure experience, strong Docker and cloud skills, and Pulumi or other infrastructure-as-code experience.
Responsibilities:
- Build systems that provision, update, secure, and observe agent environments
- Design abstractions around queues, locks, background tasks, and service bus mechanics
- Evolve infrastructure-as-code in Pulumi
- Work with Linux systems, persistent storage, containers, permissions, and runtime debugging
- Participate in a small cross-functional team with weekly cycles
Requirements summary:
- 6+ years as a software engineer with deep infrastructure experience
- Strong production backend experience, TypeScript/Node.js ideal
- Deep hands-on cloud experience, Azure preferred
- Fluency with infrastructure-as-code, Pulumi preferred
- Hands-on experience with Docker and runtime environments
- Strong security instincts for application runtime environments

The Role
Our products increasingly rely on data-intensive APIs. Beyond our reporting platform, MCP server, and public endpoints, these APIs now power per-customer environments where AI systems can execute tasks, access customer-specific state, and proactively run analysis. Today, that means Azure VMs running Dockerized workloads and a growing layer of application code which needs to cover everything from functionality to routine updates.We’re looking for a senior software engineer who loves working at the boundary between product code and infrastructure. This is not a traditional DevOps or SRE role. You’ll spend most of your time writing application code that controls infrastructure primitives: messaging queue abstractions, VM management, data lifecycle, container updates, no-downtime migrations, bootstrapping, permissions, observability, and security.
The right person is comfortable going deep into Linux, containers, networking, and all that jazz, but thinks like a product engineer: shipping reliable systems, choosing pragmatic abstractions, and making complicated runtime behavior feel routine to our customers.
| Our tech stack: Node.js, TypeScript, React, MongoDB, ElasticSearch, Azure, and Pulumi.
What you'd be doing
- Build and evolve the systems that provision, update, secure, and observe Motion’s agent environments.
- Design abstractions around queues, locks, background tasks, and service bus mechanics so product engineers can build on reliable primitives.
- Evolve our infrastructure-as-code footprint in Pulumi — defining patterns other engineers can build on.
- Work with Linux systems, mounted persistent storage, OS disks, container boundaries, permissions, logs, and runtime debugging.
- Participate in a small, high-ownership, cross-functional team with weekly cycles.
Our ideal fit brings
- 6+ years of experience as a software engineer, with meaningful time spent going deep into infrastructure.
- Strong production backend experience. TypeScript / Node.js is ideal, but we care more about strong engineering judgment and the ability to learn our stack quickly
- Deep, hands-on cloud experience. Azure is where we live, but AWS or GCP experience transfers if you are strong on the fundamentals.
- Fluency with infrastructure-as-code. We use Pulumi but any relevant experience in Terraform or CDK is good.
- Hands-on experience with containers and runtime environments. Docker is important; experience with Kubernetes, Nomad, ECS, Docker Swarm, or similar orchestration systems is helpful but not required.
- Experience designing reliable systems around background jobs, queues, locks, service buses, migrations, retries, and failure recovery.
- Strong security instincts for application runtime environments.
...and you'll be a strong fit if you align with these qualities:
- You're genuinely excited about infrastructure. When something breaks, you want to understand how the system actually works, not just scale and restart it.
- A strong sense of ownership: you make decisions and move quickly to fix things quickly when they go wrong.
- A pragmatic mindset. You can ship the simple thing when speed matters, while flagging that which needs to evolve later.
- Comfortable in a fast-moving startup where requirements come with ambiguity and the “right” way isn't handed to you.
- You enjoy being a strong individual contributor and a supportive teammate. Engineering is a team sport here
