Full Job Description
What You'll Do
  • Own the infrastructure, CI/CD, and developer tooling that keeps our engineering team shipping fast and safely at scale

  • Hands-on experience with CI/CD, observability tooling, and distributed systems
  • Comfortable making technical decisions and navigating hard tradeoffs at whatever scope your role demands
  • Energized by building in a fast-moving environment where the playbook is still being written


Bonus Points
  • Experience building or maintaining third-party integrations (ERP, fintech, or similar)
  • Background in fintech, ERP, or accounting software
  • Experience owning and scaling public-facing APIs
  • Familiarity with enterprise readiness (SOC 2, SSO/SAML, audit logging, or similar)
  • Kotlin, Java, or TypeScript experience
  • Prior experience at a high-growth startup
