About the role

What you’ll do

Infrastructure, Platform, and Deployment

  • Design, build, and evolve our cloud infrastructure using infrastructure-as-code, with a focus on scalability, consistency, and ease of use.
  • Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines that enable fast, safe, and repeatable deployments across our services.
  • Standardize deployment patterns across serverless workloads, containerized services, and workflow orchestration systems.
  • Improve how services are provisioned, configured, and deployed so engineers can move quickly without introducing risk.

Developer Experience and Enablement

  • Develop internal tooling and automation to simplify common workflows across backend and ML teams.
  • Improve local and staging environments to reduce friction in development and testing.
  • Enable engineers to self-serve infrastructure through well-designed abstractions, templates, and documentation.
  • Identify and eliminate bottlenecks in the development and deployment lifecycle.

Observability, Reliability, and Performance

  • Define and evolve observability standards across metrics, logs, and tracing with a focus on actionable insights and system behavior.
  • Build systems that proactively detect reliability risks, latency regressions, and performance issues.
  • Partner with engineering teams to investigate and resolve performance bottlenecks across distributed systems, including serverless execution, containers, and Postgres.
  • Support incident response and contribute to root cause analysis, with a focus on preventing recurrence through better systems and automation.

Security, Compliance, and Operational Excellence

  • Automate security and compliance workflows, including patching, access controls, audit readiness, and vulnerability management.
  • Embed security and compliance best practices into infrastructure and deployment pipelines.
  • Participate in the on-call rotation and respond to production issues with a focus on restoring service and improving systems over time.
  • Contribute to blameless postmortems and ensure learnings are reflected in tooling, processes, and documentation.

What we’re looking for

  • 5+ years of professional engineering experience in a B2B, SaaS company.
  • Strong experience building and operating production systems in cloud environments, ideally AWS.
  • Hands-on experience with infrastructure as code (for example, Terraform), CI/CD systems, and modern deployment workflows.
  • Experience working with serverless compute patterns, containerized services, distributed workflows, and Postgres.
  • Solid understanding of observability tooling, performance debugging, and system behavior under load.
  • Ability to write scripts or services to automate infrastructure and developer workflows.
  • A high ownership mindset, empathy for teammates, straightforward communication, and a one-team attitude.
  • Comfortable working in a fast-paced startup environment with a bias for action and thoughtful engineering judgment.
