About the RoleWe're looking for a Network Infrastructure Engineer who loves building reliable, scalable systems. You will play a critical role in keeping Ghost's platform running and our offices connected during a pivotal stage of growth. You will own our cloud infrastructure, IT management, and office networking end-to-end, ensuring things are secure and always available. You will work closely with Engineering, Data, Product, and Design to support a fast-moving organization, and as we build products both on the platform and off, you will ensure they are fully integrated with our AI infrastructure.
Key Responsibilities- Own and manage Ghost's cloud infrastructure across AWS, Railway, and Vercel, including VPC networking, compute, storage, IAM, and security configurations; ensuring our environments perform well and stay secure
- Design, configure, and maintain office networks across our LA and NY offices: switches, firewalls, VLANs, and Wi-Fi
- Partner closely with Engineering on the deployment pipeline, ensuring our cloud infrastructure is scaled appropriately and CI/CD systems run reliably
- Triage and troubleshoot infrastructure issues and outages in real time, and drive root cause analysis to prevent recurrence
- Handle security-related tickets, such as fixing and maintaining GitHub Actions and keeping client/dependency versions up to date
- Implement and enforce security and compliance best practices, including access control, certificate management, vulnerability management, and audit logging
- Evaluate and roll out new infrastructure and tooling, advising Engineering, Product, and Design on the best way to adopt and integrate them
- Collaborate with Data Engineering to support data infrastructure and pipeline needs
- Manage vendor relationships for networking hardware, cloud services, and security tooling; guiding the organization in strategic build vs. buy decisions to maximize ROI
- Drive infrastructure-as-code adoption to ensure reproducible, auditable environments
- Collaborate with Product and Leadership to translate operational needs into scalable infrastructure solutions
- Stay current on AI infrastructure trends and help evaluate their application to Ghost's platform
Qualifications - BA/BS in Computer Science, Information Systems, or a related field, or equivalent experience
- 5+ years of infrastructure or systems engineering experience, with a minimum of 3 years at a high-growth startup
- Strong hands-on experience with AWS (VPC, EC2, RDS, S3, IAM, Route53, security groups, and related services), as well as experience with platforms like Railway or Vercel
- Experience managing enterprise office networking, including switches, firewalls, VLANs, and Wi-Fi
- Solid understanding of security best practices and compliance frameworks (SOC 2, access control, certificate management)
- Experience with infrastructure-as-code tools such as Terraform
- Strong ownership mindset with comfort operating in ambiguity and resource-constrained environments
- Experience building and scaling infrastructure in lean, fast-paced startup environments
