Job description
Pace is an AI-native business process outsourcer for insurers. We combine the speed of AI agents with expert review by our insurance operations team to automate insurance tasks. Almost $400bn per year is spent on outsourcing in financial services every year. We're here to change that working side-by-side with some of the largest companies in the world.
ROLE
We're looking for an Infrastructure Engineer to own the platform our AI agents run on. Pace deploys in many different ways: multi-tenant cloud deployments, single-tenant cloud deployments, and installs inside our enterprise customers' own clouds. The same system that serves a fast-moving startup also has to pass the scrutiny of some of the largest insurers in the world, concerns which include data residency, isolation, and auditability.
YOU WILL
Own the platform our AI agents run on, from our own cloud (Kubernetes on AWS) to installs inside our customers' clouds. Examples include:
- Scaling the secure, sandboxed browser infrastructure our agents do their work in
- Planning and executing a zero-downtime cutover of production infrastructure
- Building the observability and alerting that keep long-lived agent workloads reliable
- Bringing up a new region and working out what data residency means for it
- Standing up Pace inside an enterprise customer's cloud (BYOC) and making that install repeatable for the next customer
YOUR BACKGROUND
- 4+ years running production infrastructure
- Kubernetes and infrastructure-as-code experience
- You've led a significant migration or cutover and can talk concretely about how you made it safe
- Comfortable owning networking and security boundaries end to end
- Strong observability instincts - you've built the dashboards, monitors, and runbooks your team relies on
NICE TO HAVE
- Experience shipping software into customer-controlled environments (BYOC, on-prem, or single-tenant enterprise)
- Experience with workload isolation and sandboxing, or browser automation
- Experience with durable-execution or workflow engines
- Experience operating under compliance regimes (SOC 2, GDPR, HIPAA)
- Experience in the insurance space
TEAM CHARACTERISTICS
The Pace team has a couple of defining characteristics:
1. Integrity: The most important thing is working with good people who want to have a massive impact on the world. Our team genuinely wants to do the best work of their careers and know it'll take 5-10 years of focus to deliver.
2. Ambition: The ambition for this company is not just a good vertical AI business but a $100bn+ outcome across vertical services. We're looking for people that raise that level of ambition. Often times this means they want to be the best at what they do, become leaders at scale or one day start their own company. Pace will be the best place to learn, deliver impact and advance your path to do something great.
COMPENSATION & BENEFITS
- Competitive base salary + meaningful early-stage equity
- Full medical, dental, and vision coverage
- Unlimited PTO
At Pace, we're building a talent-dense team where teammates grow into leaders. This might mean growing into a world-class IC, owning a line of business, or leading teams. Whichever your path, we want to support you to grow at Pace and beyond for the long-term.
We're a <40 person team based in-person across New York and London and are lucky to be perfectly positioned with leading customers and top investors to make a real impact on one of the largest industries in the world.
