The RoleWe're looking for a Platform Engineer to define and lead the technical direction of our platform as we scale 10x+ in enterprise customers.
This is a hands-on, high-impact role responsible for architecture, reliability, and developer experience across our Kubernetes-based infrastructure. You will solve hard technical problems, raise the engineering bar through your work, and be a key technical partner to product engineers across the company.
What You Will OwnPlatform Reliability & Scalability- Design and implement scalable solutions within our Kubernetes-based platform for secure enterprise workloads.
- Define and contribute to reliability initiatives: SLOs, capacity planning, and resilience improvements.
- Identify and resolve system misconfigurations and architectural risks.
- Build systems that support 10x customer growth with clear failure modes and mitigation strategies.
Infrastructure as a Product- Own and continuously improve internal platform systems: deployments, environments, and developer tooling.
- Drive improvements to reliability, observability, and operational workflows.
- Act as a force multiplier for product engineers by building guardrails (not gates) and self-serve tooling.
Systems Thinking- Bring structure and rigor to complex infrastructure problems.
- Contribute to internal engineering standards and design principles.
- Work cross-functionally with engineering, product, and leadership to unblock and accelerate delivery.
What You Will Need- Extensive, production-grade Kubernetes scaling experience (not just operating clusters, but growing them significantly from early-stage to production-critical workloads).
- Deep understanding of distributed systems tradeoffs.
- Previously worked in:
- Big tech 1 then startup
- Or startup that successfully scaled infrastructure.
- Strong systems mindset.
- Comfortable operating in ambiguity.
- Enjoys being a technical owner with broad company impact.
Bonus- Experience with single-tenant architectures.
- Background in financial services or regulated environments.
- Familiarity with banking-level security and data governance.
Who You Are- You thrive in fast-paced environments. You are high-intensity and care a lot about what you do, and you're ecstatic to work at a startup.
- You are ambitious. You have fun solving problems that others think are impossible.
- You are curious. You find joy in learning about AI, technology, and finance.
- You are an owner. You are autonomous, self-directed, and comfortable working with ambiguity.
- You are collaborative, organized, thoughtful, and kind.
