  • Own the infrastructure and platform domain end to end, shipping and debugging production systems.

What We're Looking For

  • Three to nine years of professional software engineering experience, including at least three years in a fast-paced, high-growth startup environment.

  • A completed or in-progress degree in engineering, computer science, or a quantitative field from a strong technical university.

  • A software engineering and cloud infrastructure background, with hands-on experience owning and scaling production infrastructure.

  • Production experience operating and debugging Kubernetes, plus familiarity with AWS, Docker, TypeScript, and PostgreSQL.

  • Experience designing production observability across logs, metrics, and tracing.

  • Effective use of AI coding agents, with sound judgment in maintaining production-quality software.

  • Experience with self-hosted, single-tenant product deployments is beneficial.
