What you'll do

  • Evolve infrastructure-as-code to add a service, a queue, or a whole new environment
  • Improve CI/CD pipelines so engineers ship safely and fast, dozens of times a day
  • Investigate production issues: latency spikes, failing deploys, databases under load
  • Strengthen observability with dashboards, alerts, and traces
  • Harden security, secrets management, and access controls
  • Tune cost and performance across the AWS footprint
  • Build new platform capabilities and make existing systems more reliable
  • Shape the pipelines, environments, and guardrails that let engineers and AI agents act safely in production
  • Work closely with backend, frontend, and the AI team
  • Take ownership of the platform and make it more reliable over time

What we're looking for

  • 5+ years of experience with Python or any other OOP language
  • Backend expertise: APIs, microservices, architecture best practices
  • Databases & SQL: data modeling, query optimization
  • Comfortable with version control and code reviews
  • Pragmatic engineering mindset: build, test, refine, simplify—smart shortcuts when time is tight

Nice to have

  • B2B SaaS or finance/ERP tools
  • BaaS APIs or payment infra
  • Serverless, AWS, event-driven architecture exposure

Benefits

  • Real ownership over the platform the whole company runs on
  • Direct impact on reliability, security, and how fast every engineer can ship
  • A mix of platform building, system design, and reliability work
  • Exposure to real scaling and production challenges
  • The chance to help build the foundation of an agent-driven product from the inside
