Medal's infrastructure handles billions of clips, video ingestion pipelines, and social features at a massive scale most engineers never get to touch. The work centers on reliability, incident response, scaling, and making sure our infrastructure keeps up with our growth. You'll own the on-call rotation, drive postmortems, and work directly with engineering teams to meet their infra needs. The right person probably came through startups and scale-ups, has been in the room when things broke at 2am, has scaled databases under pressure, and knows the difference between a durable fix and a patch that buys you a week. What We're Looking For - Infrastructure-as-code: Strong fluency in Terraform, with real experience owning infrastructure-as-code at scale - Elasticsearch depth: Hands-on experience running ES for user-facing features, not just as a log sink - GCP depth: You know it maybe a little too well: Kubernetes, VPC, IAM, Cloud Logging, and the managed services ecosystem - Database scaling: Deep, hands-on experience scaling and sharding relational databases (MySQL, Postgres) in production - Incident response instincts: You can work a P0 calmly, communicate clearly under pressure, and run a postmortem that prevents recurrence - CI/CD: You've worked with GitHub Actions in a production environment - Communication (crucial!): You flag issues clearly and rapidly during incidents and lead/write actionable postmortems - Experience at startups: You are comfortable in an environment of rapid growth where scaling up is a priority - Great judgment: You know the difference between a durable, sustainable fix and a patch that buys you a week Our Stack Electron, React, Redux, Styled Components & other modern web-based technologies C# and C++ for native Windows recording & more Swift for iOS, Kotlin for Android Java, Redis, RabbitMQ, Kubernetes for backend Terraform, Salt, GitHub Actions, CircleCI for IaC and CI/CD
