Platform Engineer (10x Openings)

Job description

About Volta Volta is the category-defining, fully vertically integrated AI infrastructure platform – from capital to clusters to software, under a founder-led enterprise. Our mission is The Utility of Compute™: AI infrastructure as dependable and available as electricity, for every organization that needs it. Launched with a $10B strategic partnership with one of the leading frontier AI labs, a Series A led by Andreessen Horowitz, and a $5B AI Infrastructure Fund, Volta is building the infrastructure layer of the AI era from the ground up. We are 100+ people across London, Palo Alto, and New York, with rapid growth expectations to hundreds. About The Role Volta builds and operates large scale GPU compute infrastructure for AI workloads. Our platform is Kubernetes-native, spans multiple regions, and delivers virtual machines, storage, and networking through a fully automated infrastructure stack built on custom Kubernetes operators. We are building out several platform engineering teams that together own the full stack, from managed bare metal and IaaS through to higher-order platform services. Each team owns a different part of that stack: compute, networking, storage, the control plane and API layer, confidential computing, and the customer-facing surface. The area you work in depends on the team you join and your prior expertise, so no single engineer is expected to cover all of it. Platform Engineers work at the intersection of infrastructure and software development. Across every team, you will translate three key inputs into durable platform capabilities: product roadmap requirements from the product team, operational learnings from the bring-up teams, and security guidance from the security engineering team. The output of this role is production platform code, not configuration, not runbooks. What You Will Be Doing Common across every platform engineering team: Design and implement Kubernetes operators and controllers that manage the lifecycle of platform resources. Work closely with the product team to turn roadmap requirements into the platform capabilities that support them. Collaborate with the bring-up teams to identify operational pain points and turn them into scalable platform features. Integrate security guidance from the security engineering team into platform-level controls, and remediate findings at the platform layer. Treat observability…
