Founding Engineer (AWS)

Something meaningful, in an industry that quietly touches billions of lives and almost nobody thinks about. The work inside it is slow, manual and consequential and the decisions being made every day deserve to be faster, more consistent, and easier to stand behind.

THE ROLE - you will build it end to end:

• The pipeline - S3, SQS, ECS Fargate, containerised Python workers
• The record - S3 Object Lock, hash-chained audit events, KMS
• Multi-tenancy - PostgreSQL row-level security, IAM, SSO
• The application - TypeScript, React, interactive charts over very large datasets
• The self-serve layer - schema design, immutable versioning, approval workflows
• The plumbing - Terraform or CDK, CI that blocks regressions, monitoring

• Strong Python, and SQL well past CRUD
• AWS deep enough to design it, not follow a tutorial
• Enough front-end ability to own the product surface, not hand it off
• You use AI tooling hard, and you are ruthless about reviewing what it writes (Cursor, ClaudeCode, Codex, etc..)

WHO YOU ARE - critical thinker who pushes back · proactive, nobody is going to hand you a ticket · wants ownership of the schema, the screen and the alarm that wakes you up · fast without being sloppy · ability to handle adversity

• A direct line to the founders. No layers, no translation, no waiting a week for a decision
• You see the whole company, not a slice of it - commercial, technical and strategic
• Access to the network behind us: investors, operators and advisors who have built and sold companies in this space
• You grow as the company grows, and you will be able to point at the parts that are yours
