Job description

  • Scale our infrastructure. Design and evolve our AWS serverless architecture (including Lambda, DynamoDB, Aurora, EventBridge) for 10x growth, multi-region HA, and data residency requirements.
  • Own CI/CD and deployment. Build and improve our deployment pipelines (GitHub Actions), infrastructure-as-code (Pulumi), and release tooling so product teams can ship faster and safer.
  • Own observability. Build out monitoring, alerting, and debugging across the stack using Datadog. When something breaks, we should know before our customers do.
  • Improve developer experience. Build internal tooling, automate toil, and remove friction so engineers spend more time shipping product and less time fighting infrastructure.
  • Code and build. Contribute production-ready TypeScript across infrastructure and product features; raise the bar through solid patterns, libraries, and reviews.

What Can You Expect?

  • A strong team. You’ll join a platform team of senior and staff engineers who set a high bar and will push you to do your best work.
  • Modern, cloud-native stack. Everything serverless and IaC-driven (AWS, Pulumi, TypeScript end-to-end).
  • Continuous delivery. We deploy multiple times a day. Your work determines how fast and safely the whole engineering org ships.
  • Scalability challenges. As we 10x revenue, you’ll evolve infrastructure for multi-region HA, data residency, and performance at scale.
  • Customer impact. The reliability and speed you build is what lets us win and keep enterprise accounts.
  • Massive ownership. You own problems end-to-end, from brainstorming through to production.
  • Collaboration & autonomy. Plenty of heads-down technical work, but also close partnership with product engineers and engineering leadership., * Developer-first. You think about engineers as your customers. You automate toil, improve feedback loops, and care deeply about making other people productive.
  • Commercially minded. You understand that infrastructure exists to serve the product and the business. You make trade-offs with that in mind.
  • Bias for action. You iterate quickly, ship pragmatically, and automate everything.
  • Culture carrier. You coach teammates, share knowledge freely, and keep calm when things break.

Nice-to-haves

  • Experience with Pulumi or similar IaC frameworks.
  • Hands-on Datadog experience.
  • Experience building internal developer platforms or tools adopted org-wide.
  • Open-source contributions to infrastructure or developer tooling projects.

Requirements

We’re hiring at both Level 3 (Senior) and Level 4 (Staff). For calibration, candidates typically bring 5+ years of platform engineering experience in high-growth, cloud-native SaaS environments, but we care more about impact than years., * Platform engineer & builder. You design reliable infrastructure and write clean production code (TypeScript or similar). You’ve built and maintained CI/CD pipelines, IaC, and developer tooling at scale.

  • Cloud-native. Deep knowledge of AWS (Lambda, DynamoDB, EventBridge, IAM, networking) or equivalent cloud-native experience. You understand serverless and its trade-offs.

Benefits & conditions

  • We offer competitive geo-localised benefits, and you can check out our UK Benefits Package here and our US Benefits Package here.
  • We work Tuesdays, Wednesdays & Thursdays in-person at our offices. At this early stage of our company life-cycle it’s important to us that we get this together-time, and you can read more about why we believe this is a winning move here
  • We’re commercial, ambitious and we don’t pretend otherwise! We’re actively seeking folks looking to make the most of a career-defining opportunity, with the hunger to be part of building something really impressive. You can see our values here
  • We sometimes use AI note-takers to help us transcribe interview notes, so we can be more present in your interview. If you’d like to opt out of us using automatic transcribers, please note this in the free text field in your application, otherwise we’ll take your application as confirmation that you’re happy for us to use notetakers (whether added to video calls or in the background).

We are proud to be recognised for both our culture and product, and we are just getting started. Join us as we grow!
