Staff Software Engineer, Infrastructure

The Role

This is a high-ownership role for an experienced software engineer with real infrastructure depth. You might have started in backend, full-stack, or platform engineering and gradually taken on DevOps or infrastructure responsibility, but you still like writing code and solving product-adjacent technical problems.

Responsibilities

• Own deployment, infrastructure, and DevOps systems end-to-end
• Build and improve CI/CD pipelines that enable fast, reliable releases
• Write tooling and automation for infrastructure, operations, and integrations
• Contribute to backend systems and software engineering projects where infrastructure and application code intersect
• Improve local development environments, internal tooling, and developer workflows
• Build monitoring, alerting, and observability that helps engineers diagnose real issues quickly
• Strengthen reliability, security, and operational practices across the stack
• Partner closely with engineers across the company to design pragmatic systems that scale
• Debug hard problems across code, infrastructure, and runtime behavior
• Use AI where it meaningfully improves engineering speed, tooling, or operational efficiency

Requirements

• 7+ years of hands-on experience owning infrastructure, DevOps, platform, or production systems
• 4+ years (the more the better) of software engineering experience with strong backend engineering fundamentals, and experience shipping production code
• Strong cloud experience, ideally AWS
• Experience with Terraform or similar infrastructure-as-code tools
• Solid CI/CD experience, including testing and deployment workflows
• Startup experience, ideally in a Series A-C environment
• Experience with observability, monitoring, and alerting in production systems
• Solid PostgreSQL and DynamoDB operational experience, including performance, backup, and recovery
• Comfort making good technical decisions in ambiguity and moving with urgency
• Track record of improving developer productivity, deployment velocity, reliability, or operational quality

Preferred Skills

• Experience building internal developer platforms or self-serve engineering workflows
• Experience with cloud security or compliance practices
• Background in data infrastructure, developer tools, or technical B2B SaaS
• Familiarity with AI-assisted engineering workflows
