  • Strengthen security, compliance, and operational readiness
  • Improve CI/CD, testing, deployments, and developer environments
  • Evaluate and implement new tooling, storage, and compute systems
  • Enable non-technical staff to build and ship improvements safely
  • Enable technical teams to ship scalable, enterprise-ready systems faster
  • Resolve incidents and production fires with both immediate fixes and long-term solutions

Requirements

  • 5+ years of experience; preference for ex-founders or founding engineers.
  • Technical skills in Kubernetes, CI/CD, TypeScript, and Python are essential.

Ideal Candidate Profile

  • Self-sufficient, smart, and focused on customer happiness.
