Founding Infrastructure Engineer

About the role

This is the first infrastructure hire at a seed‑stage gig‑economy and flexible staffing platform, working directly with the CTO as a true founding team member. You will own the entire infrastructure and platform layer from day one, with a clear path to leading the infrastructure team as it grows.

Key responsibilities

• Own and evolve a mini cloud platform for integration runtimes, ensuring durable execution, sandboxed isolation, and self‑healing systems.
• Build and operate the agent infrastructure that supports coding agents writing, testing, and deploying integration code at scale.
• Design and maintain full observability across logs, metrics, and tracing for every integration and agent run.
• Ship a self‑hostable, single‑tenant deployment of the platform as a first‑class product.
• Set engineering patterns and standards that future infrastructure hires will follow.
• Collaborate with the founding team to ship production features continuously.

Required profile

• 3–9 years of professional software engineering experience, including at least 3 years in a fast‑moving, high‑growth startup.
• Hands‑on experience operating, scaling, and debugging Kubernetes in production.
• End‑to‑end ownership of cloud infrastructure or platform, not just component contributions.
• Practical cloud infrastructure background with strong observability design skills.
• Experience building self‑hostable, single‑tenant product deployments is a strong plus.
• Prior experience at a venture‑backed startup or as a founder; large‑enterprise only backgrounds do not fit.

Required skills

• TypeScript
• PostgreSQL
• AWS
• Docker
• Kubernetes

What we offer

• Salary range $175,000 – $300,000 USD annually.
• Visa sponsorship available where an O‑1 visa is a realistic path.
• On‑site role in San Francisco with relocation support for candidates based elsewhere in the US.
