Get Access To All JobsOur Mission
Our mission is to bring web3 to a billion people, by providing builders with the tools they need to build exceptional onchain products. Alchemy is the only complete developer platform that offers the powerful APIs, SDKs, and tools necessary to build and scale onchain apps and rollups.
Our infrastructure powers 70% of the top web3 teams, 90%+ of web2 companies building in web3 and 100+ million end users. Our customers include top web3 brands like Polymarket, OpenSea, Circle, WorldCoin, as well as major global brands like Shopify and Adobe.
The Alchemy team draws from decades of deep expertise in massively scalable infrastructure, AI, and blockchain from leadership roles at leading companies and universities like Google, Microsoft, Facebook, Stanford, and MIT.
We’re backed by the world’s leading VCs and institutions, including: Lightspeed, Silver Lake, a16z, Coatue, Pantera, Addition, Stanford University, Coinbase, and Charles Schwab, among others.
About the Role
As an engineer in the Infrastructure department at Alchemy, you will design, deploy, and continuously improve the infrastructure powering our blockchain developer platform — serving 100+ chains, billions of daily requests, and over $150B in annual transactions.
The Infrastructure team provides the infrastructure, tooling, and expertise needed to allow Alchemy engineers to ship, scale, and operate high-quality products in a fast, safe, and cost-efficient manner.
- Architect and operate scalable, self-healing infrastructure leveraging Kubernetes, Terraform, and cloud-native tools across multi-region deployments.
- Drive AI enablement across engineering — ensuring repos, tooling, and workflows are optimized for agentic development with tools like Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex.
- Build AI-powered infrastructure tooling and automation (e.g., automated K8s upgrades, IaC plan analysis, cost optimization advisors, MCP servers, n8n workflows).
- Build and maintain internal developer platform (IDP) capabilities for self-service deployments, observability, and reliability.
- Develop observability frameworks using Prometheus and Grafana for metrics, dashboards, and alerting.
- Lead incident management with blameless post-mortems; define and enforce SLIs, SLOs, and error budgets across services.
- Design and manage multi-cloud, multi-region network architecture — VPC design, IPAM, DNS (Cloudflare), cross-cloud connectivity, security groups, and edge-proxy/istio gateway configuration.
- Collaborate with security teams to embed compliance into infrastructure, including IaC scanning and runtime protection.
- Provide technical leadership and mentorship to elevate the team's operational capabilities.
What We're Looking For
- 5+ years as an Infrastructure Engineer focused on reliability (SRE, Production Engineer, Platform Engineer).
- Experience driving company-wide reliability efforts, including SLO frameworks and error budget policies.
- Strong proficiency with observability stacks: OpenTelemetry, Prometheus/Grafana.
- Deep experience with cloud infrastructure (AWS/GCP), Kubernetes, and multi-region architectures.
- Skilled with Terraform, Helm, and GitOps workflows (e.g., ArgoCD) with an automation-first mindset.
- Experience leveraging agentic development tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex) and workflow automation (n8n) to accelerate IaC and build internal tooling is a strong plus.
- Solid networking fundamentals — VPC design, DNS, IPAM, security groups, cross-cloud connectivity, and service mesh (e.g., Istio) experience is a plus.
- Calm and effective incident responder with a focus on systemic improvement.
- Strong cross-functional communicator across SRE, security, and product engineering.
- Blockchain infrastructure, distributed systems, or high-throughput RPC experience — not required but a plus.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Visa Sponsorship as a Cloud Infrastructure Engineer
Make sure your job title maps to your degree
USCIS evaluates specialty occupation based on degree-role alignment. A computer science, information systems, or electrical engineering degree best supports a Cloud Infrastructure Engineer petition. Unrelated degrees raise RFE risk even with strong experience.
Target employers with an active cloud footprint
Companies running AWS, Azure, or GCP at scale are far more likely to sponsor because the role is deeply technical and hard to fill locally. Consulting firms, SaaS companies, and financial institutions are consistent sponsors for this title.
Document your hands-on technical scope clearly
USCIS scrutinizes whether the role genuinely requires a specialized degree. Offer letters and support letters should specify infrastructure architecture responsibilities, not just operational tasks. Generalized IT support framing weakens the specialty occupation argument significantly.
Certifications strengthen but do not replace degree requirements
AWS, Azure, and GCP certifications signal technical depth to employers and can bolster a petition, but they are not substitutes for a qualifying degree. If your degree field is adjacent, pair certifications with a strong experience narrative.
Understand the difference between cap-subject and cap-exempt employers
Universities, nonprofits, and government research organizations are H-1B cap-exempt, meaning they can file year-round without lottery risk. For cloud roles, research labs and university IT departments are realistic cap-exempt options worth targeting.
Start the sponsorship conversation early in the hiring process
Many employers who sponsor do not advertise it explicitly. Raising sponsorship after an offer wastes time for both sides. Ask during recruiter screening whether the company has an active immigration program and prior H-1B filing history.

Find Cloud Infrastructure Engineer JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Does a Cloud Infrastructure Engineer role qualify as an H-1B specialty occupation?
Yes, in most cases. USCIS consistently approves cloud infrastructure roles when the position requires at least a bachelor's degree in computer science, information systems, or a related engineering field. The key is ensuring the job description reflects architecture and design responsibilities rather than generic IT operations, which can blur the specialty occupation line.
What degree field do I need to qualify for H-1B sponsorship as a Cloud Infrastructure Engineer?
Computer science, information systems, computer engineering, and electrical engineering are the strongest fits. Software engineering and applied mathematics degrees have also been accepted when the role involves significant systems design. Degrees in business IT or general management information systems carry more RFE risk and may require a stronger employer support letter explaining the degree-to-role connection.
How competitive is H-1B lottery selection for cloud infrastructure roles?
Selection odds are the same across all H-1B cap-subject petitions regardless of role. In FY2025, USCIS received approximately 442,000 registrations for 85,000 available slots. Cloud infrastructure engineers with a U.S. master's degree enter the advanced degree pool first, which improves selection odds marginally. Cap-exempt employers eliminate lottery risk entirely and are worth pursuing in parallel.
Are there visa options for Cloud Infrastructure Engineers outside the H-1B lottery?
Yes. Australian citizens can apply for the E-3 visa, which has no lottery and a 10,500 annual cap that has never been exhausted. Canadian and Mexican nationals may qualify under the TN visa for computer systems analyst roles, though the title match requires careful framing. The O-1A is another path for engineers with demonstrable recognition, published work, or high-impact projects at scale.
Where can I find Cloud Infrastructure Engineer jobs that offer visa sponsorship?
Migrate Mate is built specifically to surface roles that offer visa sponsorship, so you can filter by sponsorship type rather than guessing from generic job listings. Cloud infrastructure roles on Migrate Mate span enterprise tech, financial services, and cloud-native startups, with sponsorship status verified rather than inferred from vague job description language.
What is the prevailing wage requirement for sponsored Cloud Infrastructure Engineer jobs?
U.S. employers sponsoring a visa must pay at least the prevailing wage, which is what workers in the same role, area, and experience level typically earn. The Department of Labor sets this rate to make sure companies aren't hiring foreign workers simply because they'd accept lower pay than a U.S. worker. It varies by job title, location, and experience. You can look up current prevailing wage rates for any occupation and location using the OFLC Wage Search page.
