Founding Software Engineer, Backend Infrastructure

We’re Looking For a Founding BE Infrastructure Engineer To Work Closely With Our CTO, Engineering Team, And Customers. What You’ll Do

• Backend or even full-stack development of new platform features and data/SaaS integrations (TypeScript, React)
• Own our core infrastructure, including: Kubernetes, AWS, Terraform, Helm Charts, vector databases, CI/CD (Argo/Flux)
• Ensure we can run across cloud and cloud-prem environments: from federal government to Fortune 50 infrastructure
• Stay as unattractive as possible to nation state actors: our AppSec, vuln management, pen testing and container & cloud security make our adversaries’ efforts as difficult, expensive and unpleasant as possible
• Build out Bring Your Own Cloud (BYOC) and Multi-Single Tenant (MST) to support federal and regulated enterprise environments
• Improve platform stability and reliability
• Engage directly with customers and our GTM team to ensure we’re delivering for our customers
• Continue raising our bar for engineering excellence
  
  

You’ll join a team of Thoughtful Doers™ from places like Palantir, Cruise, Meta, Uber, and Google.

About You

You might be a great fit if you’re a fluent generalist in all things backend who can also contribute to full stack development and cloud & infrastructure. Who you are:

• Experienced with production systems at scale - ideally in startups
• Security-minded - all things cyber, AppSec, and cloud security are foundational to you
• High-ownership - you own things (projects, outcomes, customer unlocks) from ambiguous start to clean finish
• Thrives in fast-paced environments - sprint cycles, biasing towards action
• Customer-focused - you care deeply about customers’ challenges and incorporating their feedback
• Adaptable - able to flex across the broad range of software engineering as needed (infra, BE, ideally even full-stack)
  
  

We encourage you to apply even if you don’t perfectly match this description but believe you would be a good fit with our values and culture. We embrace driven people who may not fit the mold or check every box.
