Senior Software Engineer, Cloud Infrastructure

145k – 195kLos Angeles, CADevOps / SRERemote
Summary

Senior engineer owning reliability, automation, and evolution of core cloud infrastructure systems. Builds tooling, integrations, and observability; troubleshoots across backend, infra, and frontend. Requires Rust proficiency, database expertise, and distributed systems experience.

About the role

What You’ll Do

  • Design, implement, and maintain core systems and services that support our platform’s reliability, performance, and scalability.
  • Build automation and tooling that reduce operational overhead, improve developer workflows, and enforce system-level consistency.
  • Develop integrations between our systems and external platforms (e.g., billing, CRM, authentication, analytics).
  • Improve observability, monitoring, and alerting across services to ensure strong operational visibility.
  • Architect and maintain infrastructure components (e.g., distributed services, data pipelines, deployment automation).
  • Contribute to security-focused systems work, such as permissions controls, access flows, and auditability.
  • Troubleshoot issues across services and layers, backend, infrastructure, and occasionally frontend, taking full ownership from diagnosis to resolution.
  • Jump into frontend code as needed to close the loop on system-level changes or fix issues that block broader system reliability.

What You’ll Need

  • B.S. in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent experience.
  • Strong professional experience in systems, platform, or infrastructure engineering.
  • Proficiency in Rust with a solid understanding of systems-level programming.
  • Solid experience with databases (transactional & analytical) including schema design, performance tuning, migrations, and operational reliability.
  • Strong understanding of API design, data flows, and service integrations.
  • Hands-on experience with distributed systems or service-oriented architectures.
  • Comfort working with infrastructure-as-code and containerized deployments.
  • Ability to work autonomously and make high-leverage technical decisions in a fast-moving environment.
  • A bias toward automation and building tools that remove friction.

Nice to Have

  • Experience with frontend development (JavaScript/React) for occasional UI-level fixes.
  • Background with billing systems (Stripe) or CRM platforms.
  • Experience building internal tooling, permissions systems, or developer productivity infrastructure.
  • Familiarity with CAD-adjacent workflows or domain-specific data pipelines.
