Take2 AI is an AI-Powered job simulation platform for sales recruiting & training. We are on a mission to reinvent how companies recruit and train talent for high volume sales roles. Take2 AI helps companies generate tailor-made simulations of real-world sales scenarios that vet job applicants for skills, behavioral attributes and culture fit. By leveraging generative AI, Take2 recreates company and role specific sales scenarios that not only provide high-signal performance data to employers, but also immerse job applicants in the role, leading to fewer mis-hires and reduced short-term attrition. We are a team of Stanford GSB Alums, backed by SemperVirens & Reach Capital. Our advisory board consists of HR Leaders from Visa, HP, Disney and Google.

About The Role
Take2 AI is hiring a Senior Infrastructure Engineer to own, scale, and secure the cloud foundation behind our AI-driven platform.
Our AWS infrastructure (EKS, EC2, ECS) already supports thousands of monthly voice interactions—we’re now looking to scale to millions. You’ll drive this growth by evolving our Kubernetes clusters, CI/CD pipelines, observability stack, and internal developer and operational tools to handle rapid scale while keeping systems reliable, secure, and fast.
This role blends DevOps, SRE, Developer Experience, and Platform Engineering responsibilities—perfect for a hands-on builder who wants to have a direct, lasting impact on our technical direction and company trajectory, own the evolution of our infrastructure, and help evolve our technical culture as an early member of the team.
