Role Description

This role involves owning production infrastructure, reliability, and security. Your job is to make the platform secure, scalable, and reliable as usage grows fast. Going zero to one excites you and you are not afraid to explain your decisions.

• Platform Architecture: Design and operate a secure, resilient, multi-cloud platform, making and defending architectural choices as the system scales.
• Reliability & Scale: Operate high-throughput distributed systems; define SLOs, capacity models, and cost controls.
• Hands-on Engineering: Write and maintain production code, tooling, and automation with a strong focus on performance, reliability, and correctness.
• Deployments & Incidents: Ensure safe releases, fast rollbacks, strong observability, and effective incident response.
• Security & Compliance: Infrastructure ownership for SOC 2 and similar regimes (access controls, isolation, encryption, auditability).
• Developer Velocity: Improve the local-to-prod experience to unlock engineering speed.

Ownership here means making real decisions early, revisiting them as we learn, and being comfortable debating alternatives.

Qualifications

• 8+ years in platform / infra / SRE / DevOps
• Has run large-scale distributed systems (high traffic, large data)
• Proven backend engineering experience (e.g. TypeScript/Node.js) beyond IaC, with the ability to debug issues end to end (from application logic to networking).
• Experience in early-stage startups (or founder background); comfortable with speed
• Comfortability debating decisions and tradeoffs
• Deep expertise in networking fundamentals
• Experience in regulated or uptime-critical domains (finance, healthcare, logistics, etc.)
• Strong async communication skills (Slack, written updates, design docs)
• Fluent written and verbal English required for documentation, incident response, and technical and business presentations.
• Bonus: active open-source contributor

Requirements

• Cloud: AWS (primary), GCP, Azure
• Infrastructure & Orchestration: Kubernetes, Terraform, Docker, Helm
• CI/CD & Operations: GitLab, GitOps-style deployment workflows
• Data & Caching: PostgreSQL, Redis
• Observability & On-Call: Prometheus, Grafana, PagerDuty
• Backend: Node.js / TypeScript
