Job Details

6–10 years of experience in infrastructure, platform, or backend engineering within primarily cloud-based environments (AWS preferred).
A track record of owning a product or subsystem end to end.
T-shaped expertise: deep specialization in one or two areas, with enough breadth to navigate and contribute across the wider system.
Strong hands-on experience managing infrastructure through code and configuration (Terraform or equivalent).
Depth in cloud infrastructure fundamentals: networking, load balancing, containerization (EKS/Kubernetes), and distributed systems.
Solid programming skills in Go, Python, or a comparable language.
Hands-on experience operating Redis/ElastiCache in production (cluster/shard management, failover behavior, memory eviction policies, scaling).
Comfort with observability tooling (Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry, or similar), performance tuning, and incident management.
Fluency with software engineering best practices: source control, code review, comprehensive test coverage, and safe deployment.
A high level of personal ownership and autonomy, with real experience working without clearly defined requirements.
Strong written and verbal communication in English.

Own a core infrastructure product or subsystem end to end — you design it, ship it, operate it, and are accountable for how it behaves in production.
Define project goals and success metrics for your work, aligning them with company objectives, and proactively identify and address risks before they become blockers.
Create technical designs from PRDs and requirements, taking an iterative approach that addresses critical corner cases without over-engineering.
Build secure, high-performing, resilient, and cost-efficient infrastructure for a broad range of applications and workloads.
Design, write, and ship software and developer-facing tooling that improves the day-to-day lives of our engineers and reduces toil.
Manage infrastructure through code and configuration (we primarily use Terraform), consistently applying patterns that align with our overall service architecture.
Partner with product engineering teams to architect their services for scale, resolving ambiguous requirements directly with stakeholders.
Participate in incident response and use systematic debugging to diagnose issues within your domain and across services.
Help tune and evolve monitoring for the team, and use operational data as the basis for proposing stability and performance improvements.
Approach all engineering work with a security lens — actively looking for vulnerabilities in your own work and in peer reviews.
