We are looking for smart engineers who love to code, seek challenging problems, and appreciate recognition for excellent work. As part of the infrastructure team, you will work on the infrastructure and tooling that power our core platform. You’ll maintain CI/CD pipelines, automate operational workflows, and ensure we stay secure and compliant to the industry standards. Your day-to-day responsibilities will include improving infrastructure performance and reliability, monitoring and optimizing system cost, and collaborating with engineering teams to standardize environments and deployment patterns. You’ll help to maintain observability and incident response processes, and ensure the scalability of our cloud-based systems as we continue to grow.

Have strong fundamentals in system design, debugging, and problem-solving.
Know Python (our main stack), though we're open to strong candidates from other OO backgrounds.
Have experience with serverless technologies (Lambda, EC2), asynchronous workflows, and cloud environments.
Are comfortable with relational databases, ideally PostgreSQL.
