Platform Engineer

By combining proprietary motion capture data with state-of-the-art diffusion models, we enable game studios to generate dynamic,

lifelike motion in minutes instead of weeks, removing one of the biggest bottlenecks in game and cinematic production.

We are looking for a Platform Engineer - our first - to build the foundation of Motorica's internal developer platform. You'll

define the “paved road” for developer experience while keeping our systems secure, compliant, and cost-efficient. It's a hands-on

role with a lot of ownership: you set the technical direction, but you also do the work.

Our infrastructure spans a multi-cloud environment managed entirely through Infrastructure as Code, covering GPU-accelerated ML

serving, event-driven pipelines, API gateways, managed databases, self-hosted CI/CD runners, compliance tooling, and

multi-environment deployments. We operate at the intersection of platform engineering and ML infrastructure, and we need someone

with deep expertise to drive this forward.

You’re comfortable being the only person who owns a domain, you’re biased toward shipping over perfecting, calm under incidents,

treats developer experience as a product with internal customers, opinionated but not precious about being overruled.

• Infrastructure as Code: Design, build, and maintain reusable IaC modules across a multi-cloud environment. Manage

multi-environment deployments with proper state management, versioning, and security boundaries.

• CI/CD & Developer Experience: Own our deployment pipelines and monorepo build system. Streamline the path from code to

production and improve developer self-service.

• ML Infrastructure & GPU Workloads: Maintain and scale our GPU-accelerated ML serving layer, experiment tracking, and ML job

orchestration on Kubernetes.

• Cloud Platform & Networking: Manage API gateways, load balancers, DNS, VPC networking, and our multi-cloud footprint including

IAM and credential federation.

• Security & Compliance: Own our security posture: compliance tooling, threat detection, audit trails, least-privilege IAM, and

secrets management across all environments.

• Cost Management: Optimize cloud spend across GPU workloads, Kubernetes clusters, storage, and compute. Maintain budget

monitoring and alerting.

• Deep cloud infrastructure expertise across at least one major cloud provider, with working knowledge of a second. Experience

with managed compute, serverless, managed databases, messaging, IAM, networking, secrets management, and monitoring.

• Strong IaC skills: you've designed module libraries, managed multi-environment state, and understand the difference between good

and great infrastructure code. Experience with Terraform or OpenTofu.

• Kubernetes experience - you've operated clusters in production, managed Helm deployments, and understand node pool autoscaling,

workload identity, and cluster networking.

• CI/CD expertise: GitHub Actions or equivalent, OIDC-based authentication, self-hosted runners, automated infrastructure

pipelines. You've built plan/apply workflows with proper security controls.

• Networking fundamentals: load balancers, VPC networking, DNS management, SSL/TLS, API gateways. You understand how traffic flows

from the internet to a container.

• Autonomous and expert: you identify gaps, propose solutions, and execute. You bring deep domain expertise and can make sound

architectural decisions independently.

• Strong communication skills: you'll interface with backend, frontend, and ML engineers daily. You translate infrastructure into

clarity, not complexity.

• Experience driving adoption of AI-assisted workflows (coding agents, agentic automation, internal LLM tooling) including setting

good practices

You will be the person who makes everything else possible. Every ML model we serve, every animation we generate, every API call

from a game studio; it all runs on the platform you build and maintain.

If you excel in this role, you will find no shortage of opportunities to grow with us as we scale globally. You will work directly

with the most creative teams in gaming, see the impact of your work immediately, and help define a new era of generative

animation.

This is a rare opportunity to join a company at the intersection of AI and gaming, where the infrastructure challenges are

genuinely interesting, multi-cloud orchestration, GPU workloads at scale, event-driven ML pipelines, and where your work has

direct, visible impact on the product.
