Job description

This isn't an ops or babysitting role. You're a senior engineer who's moved into platform work and wants real ownership - building the infrastructure layer that 35+ engineers depend on every day, and shaping how AI tooling gets integrated into the platform from the ground up.

What you'll be doing:

  • Writing TypeScript across both application code and infrastructure as code (Pulumi - recently migrated from CDK)
  • Designing, building, and maintaining AWS serverless infrastructure patterns at scale
  • Owning foundational services - SSO, authentication, notifications, and core shared services
  • Integrating AI tooling into the platform infrastructure - greenfield, high-ownership work
  • Driving observability and DevX improvements - internal tooling, developer workflows, reducing friction across the org
  • Setting the patterns and guardrails that enable engineering autonomy across the business

Requirements

  • Strong software engineering background with a shift into platform or infrastructure work
  • Deep AWS knowledge - serverless in particular
  • TypeScript fluency (application and IaC)
  • High-growth startup experience - you know what it means to scale fast
  • B2B SaaS background preferred

Bonus points for:

  • Experience with Pulumi or CDK
  • Previous work on internal developer platforms or DevX tooling
  • Exposure to AI/LLM infrastructure integration
  • Observability tooling (Datadog, OpenTelemetry, etc.)

About the company

One of Europe's fastest-scaling B2B SaaS businesses, growing from 40 to 80 engineers this year. The platform team is small, senior, and foundational - they own the infrastructure patterns, shared services, and developer experience that the entire engineering org runs on. It's a build-it-own-it culture where platform sets the guardrails and trusts other teams to ship within them.
