Software Engineer, Infrastructure

You will own the reliability, security, scalability, and performance of a platform serving major enterprise customers, while building the tools and systems that let product engineers ship quickly. This is a high-ownership infrastructure role on a small, high-caliber engineering team.

What you’ll be doing

• Own critical infrastructure components and drive architecture decisions with high autonomy.
• Keep the platform stable, secure, scalable, and performant under enterprise-scale traffic.
• Build the internal tools, systems, and best practices that product engineers depend on.
• Partner with leadership, product, and engineering on roadmap and architecture.
• Work directly with enterprise customers on infrastructure feedback and issues.

Tech stack: Golang, Kubernetes, Terraform, Kafka, PostgreSQL, Redis, GraphQL, TypeScript, React, AWS, GCP

• 4+ years as a software engineer building distributed systems.
• A software engineer who works on infrastructure, writing services and systems rather than only operating or maintaining infrastructure.
• Strong software engineering fundamentals, with the coding ability to pass a rigorous algorithmic coding screen held to the same bar as product engineers.
• Demonstrated systems design skill for large distributed systems.
• Backend development in Golang or a comparable systems language.
• Hands-on experience with cloud infrastructure (AWS or GCP): deploying, scaling, and monitoring at production scale.
• Experience building or scaling systems for enterprise-grade traffic or multi-tenant SaaS.
• Working familiarity with infrastructure tooling such as Kubernetes, Terraform, and Kafka (baseline awareness, not deep specialization).

• Direct exposure to enterprise customers, with little bureaucracy between you and the problem.
• Strong compensation plus meaningful equity at a growth-stage company with real momentum.
• Work on hard infrastructure problems in a category that is expanding quickly.
