What You'll Do
- Own and scale the cloud infrastructure behind our open-source platform: compute, networking, and the data layer.
- Lead BYOC: turn customer-cloud deployments into a real product, with provisioning, upgrades, and observability that scale past bespoke work per deal.
- Operationalize and productize our IaC and GitOps foundations so a small team keeps shipping fast as we grow.
- Make reliability a product feature: meaningful SLOs, and an incident process people trust.
- Lead our data layer: Postgres, Redis, Elasticsearch, and ClickHouse at growing scale.
- Own the infrastructure side of security and compliance: SOC 2, GDPR, HIPAA, enterprise security reviews.
- Help shape the roadmap and company strategy with high ownership of key decisions.
Who you are
- 10+ years (staff-level) in platform, infrastructure, DevOps, or SRE roles, with proven ability to run high-traffic systems in production.
- Deep production Kubernetes experience, and opinions about when it's the wrong tool.
- Experience operating software in environments you don't control: BYOC, single-tenant, on-prem, or air-gapped.
- Deep AWS fluency, where we run today; exposure to GCP and Azure helps, since our customers don't all pick the same cloud.
- Terraform as your native mode of working: modules others can use, safe state management, multi-account topologies.
- Databases as a genuine strength, Postgres especially - performance work, migrations under load, replication.
- Real compliance exposure: SOC 2 or ISO audits, pen tests, security reviews. You can tell substance from theatre.
- Product mindset and developer empathy: you can read a customer issue and go build the fix.
Our stack is TypeScript and Node. Strong communicator, proactive, and reliable in a remote-first environment. Pragmatic, positive, and low ego: you step up in incidents and unblock teammates.
Based in North America, LATAM or Europe. If you're a seasoned platform engineer who loves developer infrastructure, thrives on ownership, and wants to shape the future of integrations - we'd love to hear from you.
