# Senior Cloud Infrastructure Engineer - Company: [Trener Robotics]() - Location: San Jose \(US-HQ\) - Team: Product - Employment type: Full Time - Posted: August 14, 2026 ## Job description **About Trener** Trener is building the software foundation for a new generation of industrial robotics. We combine advanced AI, intuitive programming, and pre-trained skill models to make robots easier to deploy, operate, and adapt to real-world industrial work. With teams in San Jose and Trondheim, we build software that connects cloud infrastructure, developer platforms, and deployed robotic systems. **About the Role** We run a production cloud platform on Google Cloud today and are expanding our AWS footprint. We need a senior infrastructure engineer to help establish a deliberate multi-cloud foundation and define how GCP and AWS should coexist as the platform grows. You will own the Cloud Foundations layer: cloud account and project structure, infrastructure-as-code, state strategy, networking, Kubernetes foundations, and implementation of cloud access controls. You will help decide where Trener should standardize across providers and where provider-specific architecture is the right boundary. This is a senior individual contributor role. You will not be managing people, and you will not be inheriting a greenfield. **What You Will Own** * Cloud foundations across GCP and AWS - project and account topology, landing zones, organization policies, baseline guardrails, and enrollment of new environments. * Cloud and cross-cloud networking - VPCs, routing, peering, DNS, load balancing, firewall policy, IP addressing, and private connectivity between cloud environments. * Infrastructure as code - reusable Terraform/OpenTofu modules, environment composition, lifecycle management, and patterns that keep infrastructure understandable as the estate grows. * State strategy and blast-radius boundaries - how infrastructure state is partitioned, how dependencies are expressed, and how those patterns evolve across providers. * Cloud identity implementation - implement cloud IAM, workload identity, federation, and access controls in partnership with Security. * Kubernetes foundations - cluster lifecycle, baseline configuration, upgrades, and shared infrastructure services beneath application workloads. * Infrastructure cost visibility - implement the tagging, labeling, budgets, alerts, and reporting needed to make cloud spend understandable and surface obvious infrastructure waste. * Infrastructure controls supporting our SOC 2 program - resource labeling, access boundaries, configuration standards, and evidence-producing infrastructure practices. **Requirements** * Proven experience operating production infrastructure as a cloud, infrastructure, platform, or site reliability engineer. * Terraform or OpenTofu at module-authoring depth - writing and versioning reusable modules, managing state across environments, and handling the lifecycle of real infrastructure over time. * Cloud foundation design experience - multi-account, multi-project, landing-zone, guardrail, IAM, or network architecture beyond a handful of isolated workloads. * Experience with infrastructure composition or orchestration - Atmos, Terragrunt, Terraspace, or an equivalent approach to managing reusable infrastructure across environments. * Strong networking depth - VPCs, routing, peering, DNS, TLS, load balancing, firewall policy, IP addressing, and connectivity troubleshooting. * Kubernetes working knowledge - cluster operations, RBAC, networking, shared services, and troubleshooting workloads that will not start or communicate correctly. * Helm chart authoring, not just chart installation. * Production cloud experience across at least two major providers, or deep experience with one plus substantial hands- on involvement extending an organization into another. * Python and Bash for automation, CLIs, diagnostics, and glue. * Linux fluency. * Experience with controlled infrastructure environments - SOC 2, HIPAA, HITRUST, FedRAMP, PCI, or similar security/compliance expectations. * Fluency in English and strong written communication. Architectural decisions here are expected to be documented and reviewed in writing **Experience That Will Help You Succeed** * GitOps workflows across multiple environments and comfort operating infrastructure through reviewed, auditable changes. * Externalized secrets management and Kubernetes-native secret delivery patterns. * Operating Prometheus/Grafana/Loki or comparable observability tooling as an infrastructure consumer and operator. * Experience introducing or formalizing a second cloud, including a clear account of what you would repeat and what you would change. * Cloud identity federation and workload identity across providers. * Disaster-recovery, regional resilience, or high-availability infrastructure work. * Private cloud networking or overlay connectivity. **What We Offer** The opportunity to work at the intersection of robotics, AI, and cloud infrastructure. A senior technical role with meaningful influence over the foundations on which the company builds.
