Hedra Labs hiring infra leads
Hedra Labs, an SF-based startup backed by a16z Speedrun and Index, is actively hiring Senior/Staff Infrastructure Engineers in SF and NY — the post went live in the last 48 hours reported. The company says it powers creative workflows for 10M users and 20% of the Fortune 500, flagging imminent compute and infra scale demands reported.
Hedra closed a $32M Series A led by Andreessen Horowitz’s infrastructure fund, with participation from a16z Speedrun, Index and Abstract Ventures. (techcrunch.com) The company says its platform has produced more than 10 million generated videos and has attracted “millions” of users, a number multiple outlets tied to the raise and product launch. (techcrunch.com) The open Senior/Staff Infrastructure role explicitly names ownership of reliability and operability for Python web services deployed on AWS and lists infrastructure design, deployment strategies and observability as core responsibilities. (builtin.com) Public job aggregators list the role as in‑office across Hedra’s two locations and show posted salary bands ranging roughly from $118K–$180K depending on source. (builtin.com) Investors framed the Series A as financing to scale Hedra’s Character‑3 foundation model and enterprise video product, signaling planned increases in model-serving and training capacity. (techcrunch.com) Hedra previously received backing from Amazon’s Alexa Fund and the new roles call out AWS as the primary deployment target, so an increase in cloud GPU consumption for inference and fine‑tuning is a reasonable inference supported by the fundraising and job spec.
