About Aira

We build AI agents that run cellular networks.

Mobile operators spent billions on 5G but can't extract value - vendor lock-in blocks innovation, monolithic systems don't scale, operational complexity multiplies. We deploy multi-agent systems with fine-tuned LLMs that autonomously optimize network performance, generate operational tools, and execute operator intent. Applied AI at planetary scale: millions of towers, petabytes of telemetry, real-time inference affecting billions of users.

Founded by Qualcomm and Intel veterans. Team from Stanford, Berkeley, Cornell and other leading institutions. Backed by AT&T Ventures, Intel Capital, In-Q-Tel, NeoTribe, Acrew, and more.

The Role

Build and operate the cloud platform our agent systems run on - the infrastructure, pipelines, and Kubernetes environments that take prototypes to production under live network traffic. You own how it gets deployed, scaled, and kept running, working alongside ML researchers, application engineers, and wireless engineers.

What You'll Do

Design and run our AKS clusters and Istio service mesh: node pools, autoscaling, tenant isolation, upgrades, mTLS, and traffic policy. These run in customer-managed Azure environments.
Provision Azure infrastructure with Terraform and Bicep, including ACR, Key Vault, Entra ID, VNets, NSGs, Private Link, workload identity, and storage. Deploy into environments with private registries, restricted outbound access, proxies, VPNs, and bastion hosts.
Maintain the Jenkins pipelines that build and ship Aira releases, and package Naavik with Helm so it installs the same way for every operator, including per-tenant values and upgrade paths.
Keep the platform secure: image and dependency scanning, CVE remediation, secrets in Key Vault, workload identity, and least-privilege RBAC.
Manage capacity and cost: node fleet sizing, HPA tuning, and the monthly Azure bill.

What We're Looking For

5+ years running production cloud infrastructure, including on-call and incident response.
Strong Azure experience: AKS, ACR, Entra ID, workload identity, Private Link, VNets, NSGs, routing, Key Vault, and quota management.
Hands-on Kubernetes: Helm, autoscaling, resource limits, cluster upgrades, and troubleshooting with kubectl.
Experience building observability with Prometheus, Grafana, or similar, including SLOs and alerts that are actually useful.
Terraform or Bicep in production, and ownership of a CI/CD pipeline. We use Jenkins. GitOps experience is a plus.
Security in the pipeline: SAST, DAST, SCA, CVE remediation, secrets management, and RBAC design.
Secure networking: restricted egress, segmentation, proxies, and VPN or hybrid connectivity.

Why Aira
