🎯 Requirements

• Started in application development but shifted into infrastructure over the past few years and now think in terms of systems, safety, and scale. • Have a strong thesis on how modern infrastructure should work and can explain it clearly, with tradeoffs. • Have deep working experience with a major compute provider (e.g., AWS, GCP) and can describe how a VPC, subnet, or IAM policy actually works under the hood. • Know how to structure and scale Infrastructure as Code and have opinions on composition, separation, and change management. • Have experience with operations and observability and care about what good on-call, system performance, and alerting actually look like. • Care deeply about developer experience and productivity — you design tooling, pipelines, and workflows that let engineers move fast without cutting corners. • Bring a practical security mindset — you don’t need to be an expert, but you understand risks and design defensively. • Bonus points for leading or highly involved contributor for a large cloud migration. • Bonus points for a blend of startup scrappiness and working in high-scale systems. • Based in San Francisco 🌉 / New York City🗽, and excited to be in-office at least 3 days a week.
