At ClickUp, we're building the future of work: the first truly converged AI workspace unifying tasks, docs, chat, calendar, and enterprise search, all supercharged by context-driven AI. We are an AI-native company. Every team member is expected to leverage AI daily, and we evaluate AI fluency as part of our hiring process. Join us and help redefine what's possible. 🚀

The role

ClickUp's Cloud Platform team builds scalable, secure, and cost-efficient AWS infrastructure, with a heavy focus on Amazon EKS, that stays ahead of product and enterprise growth. Our goal: product velocity is never blocked by platform constraints. As a Senior Software Engineer, you leverage AI to design, build, and operate the compute, networking, and infrastructure-as-code foundation that powers ClickUp for millions of users.

 

What you'll do

  • Build and scale AWS infrastructure and reusable platform abstractions that simplify development, with a strong focus on Amazon EKS, networking, and self-hosted services.

  • Identify improvement opportunities and emerging risks, and propose novel solutions that improve reliability, scalability, and cost efficiency before constraints become blockers.

  • Automate shard buildouts and implement Terraform guardrails and hardened ingress that reduce incidents.

  • Scale systems for multi-shard, multi-region growth while meeting compliance attestations (SOC 2, ISO 27001, etc), disaster recovery, and enterprise security requirements.

  • Partner with SRE, Security, product, AI, and enterprise teams to bridge infrastructure and product engineering.

  • Own the reliability of Cloud Platform itself: on-call, incident response, postmortems, runbooks, and prevention.

  • Use AI tooling daily to accelerate development, testing, IaC, operations, and investigations, and help the team raise its AI leverage.

 

What we're looking for

  • 6+ years building and operating large-scale distributed systems with a focus on infrastructure and cloud, especially compute foundations.

  • Deep, hands-on experience operating and troubleshooting Kubernetes in production, including control-plane, node, and networking issues, ideally Amazon EKS at fleet scale.

  • Strong AWS experience: EKS, EC2, Lambda, API Gateway, VPC networking, IAM, S3, KMS. Bedrock is a plus.

  • Multi-account AWS (20+ accounts) experience, including Transit Gateway, PrivateLink, VPC routing, DNS, and load balancing.

  • Infrastructure-as-code at scale with Terraform (CDK experience is a plus).

  • Fluent coding in at least one language (Go, Python, or TypeScript/Node.js preferred).

  • Experience with hybrid monolith/microservices architectures.

  • Experience operating data stores at scale, such as PostgreSQL, DynamoDB, S3, and Redis/Valkey.

  • Track record of improving infrastructure reliability and efficiency and implementing security guardrails.

  • Strong production debugging across application and infrastructure boundaries, clear written communication, and effective cross-functional collaboration.

  • Daily AI user with concrete examples of how AI supercharged your engineering workflow.
