What You'll Do- Design and maintain the core infrastructure across our cloud environments - own it end to end, not just keep the lights on.
- Prevent incidents before they happen. Build the monitoring, alerting, and observability that catches problems while they're still small.
- Make our systems scale. Find the limits before our growth does and engineer past them.
- Own developer velocity. Build the CI/CD pipelines and internal tooling that let every engineer here ship faster.
- Hunt down performance bottlenecks and speed them up.
- Build for an AI-first workflow - lean on agents and automation to do more with a small team.
What We're Looking For- You have 3+ years in backend or infrastructure engineering and strong hands-on experience with cloud infrastructure.
- You highly leverage AI for software development and can juggle multiple workstreams at the same time.
- You've worked at startups previously and navigated ambiguous environments.
- You genuinely enjoy building scalable and reliable systems
- You have a growth mindset, want to constantly improve, and want to receive feedback.
- You're in SF or you're willing to relocate, you love working in-person, and you're serious about joining us to build a culture we'll all love
- (Bonus) You have experience with our tech stack (React, Golang, GraphQL, and AWS).
- (Bonus) You have experience with building agentic products in production.
