Staff Infrastructure Engineer

Tabs is the AI Operating System for Revenue, built for modern finance and accounting teams. It combines deep revenue and accounting expertise with the agents and applications needed to run revenue work end to end. Tabs understands customer and contract context, applies accounting logic, and executes critical workflows with built in controls, auditability, and human oversight. With Tabs, finance teams can move from manually managing revenue workflows to directing outcomes while the system executes the work. About The Role We're looking for a Staff Infrastructure & Reliability Engineer to own the foundation Tabs runs on: our AWS environment, how we ship software, and how we know when something is wrong. You'll set infrastructure direction for the company as a hands-on individual contributor, partnering with our platform team, our product engineers, and the product teams who build on what you build. Tabs is building, not maintaining. We're at the point where infrastructure is becoming a real investment area, and the decisions made in this seat will shape how the whole engineering org ships for years. Payments, billing, and revenue for high-growth companies come with real compliance requirements. The goal is to build it correctly, keep it easy to maintain, and evolve it as we grow. This is not a corner seat. You'll be expected to shape engineering and product decisions, and you'll have engineering leadership that understands infrastructure work and will pressure-test your calls. You won't be working alone: you'll own the outcomes, with high-caliber engineers around you.
