About the Role

Shape the backbone of a growing platform

What You’ll Do

  • Design and implement scalable solutions for complex engineering challenges across distributed systems
  • Manage and optimize cloud infrastructure on AWS and GCP, ensuring security and efficiency
  • Lead the evolution of our Kubernetes environment, including cluster management and team enablement
  • Develop and maintain CI/CD pipelines in partnership with quality and engineering teams
  • Build self-service infrastructure tools using Terraform and automation frameworks
  • Own observability systems—monitoring, logging, and alerting—and drive best practices across engineering
  • Strengthen incident response and disaster recovery protocols through active participation and refinement

What We’re Looking For

  • BS, MS, or equivalent experience in Computer Science or a related technical field
  • At least 5 years in a dedicated SRE or infrastructure engineering role
  • Proven experience running production systems on AWS or GCP, with a willingness to work across both
  • Deep familiarity with Kubernetes—deployment, scaling, orchestration, and team enablement
  • Hands-on coding experience in Python, Golang, or Rust to solve operational challenges
  • Track record of building automation tools that improve team velocity and system reliability
  • Strong systems thinking with the ability to analyze performance across service, database, and infrastructure layers

Nice-to-Have Experience

  • Working with event-driven architectures using Kafka, NATS, or Aeron
  • Background in both monolithic and microservices environments
  • Experience hardening systems using security frameworks and compliance tools
  • Familiarity with Elasticsearch management and scaling
  • Understanding of diverse database architectures and trade-offs

Work Environment

This role is open to remote candidates or those near our NYC office, where hybrid work requires three days per week on-site. You’ll work in a technically rigorous culture focused on empowering teams through stable, observable, and adaptable systems.

Compensation & Benefits

  • Salary range: $170,000–$230,000 per year
  • Equity offered as part of total compensation
  • Flexible PTO and 10 company-paid holidays
  • 401K with company match
