About the job
What You'll Do
- Architect and ship a self-hostable version of Console, unlocking enterprise use cases with strict data and security constraints
- Own how we ship to production by designing and evolving a deployment system that stays fast, reliable, and downtime-free as we scale
- Build and run our cloud infrastructure across AWS/GCP, making critical tradeoffs across performance, cost, and reliability
- Make the entire engineering team faster by improving tooling, workflows, and the day-to-day developer experience
- Drive how we build and deploy, from faster builds to safer releases such as blue-green deployments, so we can ship quickly without breaking things
Who You Are
- 5+ years of full-time experience in backend or platform engineering
- Strong hands-on experience with AWS and/or GCP and a real understanding of the tradeoffs, not just the defaults
- Experience with IaC tools like Terraform or Pulumi and relative comfort with our stack (TypeScript/Node/React)
- A track record building high-scale, production-grade systems from the ground up
- Strong instincts around developer experience and a drive to build platforms other engineers love building on
- A bias toward reliability and quality where good enough genuinely bothers you
Compensation & Benefits
- Competitive pay and top compensation
- Equity with early exercise & QSBS eligibility
- Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance
- Unlimited PTO
- 401(k)
- Meals provided daily in office
