Job Description

We're looking for an Infrastructure Engineer to build developer tooling that enables developer velocity and reliability for the entire engineering organization. Our team owns the full end-to-end development lifecycle, from local development tools, CI/CD, dynamic testing environments, deployments, and releases. You’ll be working with the latest cloud-native technologies as you build an infrastructure platform that enables the engineering organization to deliver observability for some of the largest technology companies.

Job Responsibility

  • Architect & Build: Design and maintain high-scale developer tooling and backend services that improve productivity and reliability across a distributed cloud environment
  • Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Treat infrastructure as a first-class citizen
  • You will define, deploy, and manage entire environments using declarative IaC (Terraform), ensuring our platform is reproducible and version-controlled
  • Drive Systemic Quality: Identify and eliminate systemic bottlenecks in the software development lifecycle (SDLC) through architectural changes or advanced tooling
  • Scale & Reliability: Ensure our infrastructure remains resilient under massive traffic loads while optimizing for performance, cost-efficiency, and near-real-time telemetry processing
  • Strategic Leadership & Mentorship: Define platform standards and reference architectures that span a 1–3 year horizon, balancing feature velocity with long-term technical debt
  • Act as the "glue" across teams, consulting on infrastructure best practices and up-leveling the organization through mentorship

Requirements

  • 8+ years of relevant experience
  • Strong experience in at least one backend language (e.g., Go, Java, Python, or Rust)
  • Strong proficiency in at least one backend language (e.g., Go, Java, Python, or Rust)
  • Deep Systems Expertise: You go beyond "using" the cloud
  • you understand how it works
  • Cloud-Native: A solid understanding of cloud-native concepts and experience working with cloud providers like AWS or GCP
  • You should be comfortable navigating Kubernetes and container-level logic
  • Operating Systems & Compute: Deep knowledge of Linux internals, process management, and resource isolation
  • Networking & Security: Understanding of the OSI model, service meshes, load balancing, and "zero-trust" security architectures
  • Distributed Systems: Experience building and debugging systems that deal with CAP theorem trade-offs, eventual consistency, and distributed tracing
  • Reliable Execution: A track record of completing assigned tasks/tickets reliably and estimating work effectively within a sprint
  • You take ownership of features from local development through to basic testing and delivery
  • Analytical Debugging & Quality: The ability to debug your own code efficiently using logs and tests, while proactively identifying edge cases (like nulls or limits) during the design phase
  • Collaborative Spirit: Strong communication skills to keep teammates informed, raise blockers early, and contribute meaningfully to code reviews and design discussions
  • Continuous Learning: A proactive approach to learning new tools, processes, and libraries
  • You are open to feedback and use incidents or code reviews as opportunities to up-level your skills
  • AI-Native Development: You embrace the future of engineering
  • Experience or interest in using AI coding assistants (like Cursor or Claude) to improve productivity and automate boilerplate tasks
