About the Role

Join a small, fast-moving team building AI-powered software products and the infrastructure behind them. You will own critical platform capabilities that help bring reliable, user-facing products from early requirements to production.

What You'll Do

• Design, build, and operate cloud infrastructure and platform services for user-facing products and AI workloads.

• Own infrastructure initiatives from open-ended goals through architecture, implementation, launch, and ongoing improvement.

• Design and tune databases, including schema design, scaling, and performance optimization.

• Partner with product and engineering teammates to deliver reliable systems and respond to user needs.

• Use AI coding tools in your day-to-day workflow to increase development speed and effectiveness.

What We're Looking For

• Typically 4 to 10 years of experience in infrastructure, platform, or backend engineering, with scope and career progression demonstrating strong ownership.

• Extensive hands-on experience operating production cloud infrastructure across AWS, GCP, and Azure.

• Experience with Infrastructure as Code tools such as Terraform or CDK, and production Docker workloads.

• Production experience with Temporal or a comparable durable workflow orchestration platform.

• Strong database expertise, including schema design, scaling, and performance tuning; the stack includes Postgres, Redis, and ClickHouse.

• Experience supporting large-scale production systems or working with substantial data volumes, ideally including infrastructure for AI agents or machine learning workloads.

• Startup experience, or experience combining work at a larger technology company with a startup environment.

• Daily use of AI coding tools and the ability to explain your development workflow.
