Remote Infrastructure Engineer jobs

15 open positions in the United States, newest first.

Infrastructure engineers build and operate the computing foundation that applications run on: servers, cloud accounts, networking, storage, databases and the automation that provisions them. They are responsible for capacity, reliability, security and cost of that foundation. In most companies today the infrastructure is defined in code and lives in a public cloud.

About the Infrastructure Engineer role

What the work looks like

  • Write Terraform or similar infrastructure-as-code to provision cloud networks, compute, storage and access policies.
  • Run and upgrade Kubernetes clusters or virtual machine fleets that host application workloads.
  • Build monitoring, logging and alerting with tools such as Prometheus, Grafana or Datadog.
  • Respond to production incidents, restore service and write postmortems with follow-up fixes.
  • Plan capacity, review cloud spending and remove wasted resources without hurting reliability.

What employers ask for

  • AWS, Azure or Google Cloud
  • Terraform and infrastructure as code
  • Linux administration and networking fundamentals
  • Kubernetes and containers
  • Scripting in Python, Go or Bash
  • Monitoring and incident response

Doing this job remotely

Cloud infrastructure is managed entirely through APIs and consoles, so the work is location-independent; only companies with their own data centers need hands on site. The real constraint is on-call. Infrastructure teams carry pagers in rotation, and distributed teams often arrange follow-the-sun coverage, so time zone can be a hiring criterion.

Where it comes from and where it leads

Infrastructure engineers come from system administration, network operations or software engineering. They move on to senior and staff infrastructure roles, site reliability engineering, platform engineering, cloud architecture or management of an infrastructure team.
