Software Engineer: Platform
Full Job Posting
The Role
We’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.
Platform 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 → 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.
