Software Engineer, Infrastructure Almaty, Kazakhstan Build the shared infrastructure that helps Higgsfield’s product teams ship quickly and run reliable services. You’ll own problems from finding the bottleneck to shipping a solution and supporting it in production. What you’ll do • Build shared services for queues, job scheduling, caching, configuration, and service communication. • Improve concurrency limits, resource allocation, and recovery for long-running media workloads. • Make database access, migrations, and connection management safer and faster. • Simplify service setup, testing, deployment, and production debugging. • Improve observability, investigate incidents, and reduce infrastructure cost per completed job. • Work directly with product engineers, ship focused improvements, and measure the results. Our release cycle is days, not quarters. Required • Experience running production systems on Kubernetes (K8s) and AWS, including deployments, scaling, networking, and troubleshooting. • Strong software engineering skills: you build shared services, tools, and automation that other engineers use. • Experience with databases, queues, and distributed systems, including performance debugging, safe rollouts, and recovery. • A difficult production problem you owned from an unclear starting point to a working solution. • Ability to set priorities, make practical tradeoffs, remove blockers, and ask for help when needed. • Clear communication, openness to feedback, and knowledge sharing so others can operate and extend your work. Nice to have • Cloudflare. • Infrastructure as code. • PostgreSQL, Redis, or event-streaming systems. • High-throughput media pipelines or AI workload orchestration. Interview process • Recruiter screen: expectations, logistics, and fit. • Technical interview: a difficult system you shipped, your decisions, and the results. • Additional technical interview, if needed. • Product fit interview: investigate a team’s bottleneck and plan a practical improvement, adoption, and safe rollout. • Offer. What we offer Competitive base pay in USD, equity, relocation support, and ownership of infrastructure used across our engineering teams.
