Role Overview

Pyka is looking for a Cloud Infrastructure Manager to lead the team building and operating the cloud systems, data infrastructure, and developer tools that support our autonomous aircraft programs. Your team will build the infrastructure behind aircraft logs and operational data, software distribution, CI pipelines and machine learning pipelines, helping engineers develop and ship software efficiently and making data accessible and useful across the company.
In this role, you’ll be responsible for both team execution and team health, making sure your team delivers high-quality work while growing as engineers.

Some of the current and future projects your team will contribute to include:

  • Building and improving systems for collecting, storing, and accessing aircraft logs and operational data to support debugging, analysis, and fleet insights
  • Improving our CI pipelines, build systems, and software release and distribution processes
  • Developing infrastructure for machine learning pipelines, including data preparation and training
  • Improving data management, access and analysis across the company
  • Automating infrastructure provisioning, configuration, and deployment
  • Developing internal tools and integrations that reduce manual work across engineering and operations
  • Developing external tools for customers to access and visualize their flight, maintenance and inventory data
  • Improving monitoring, recovery processes, security, and cost efficiency as our infrastructure grows
