📋 Description

• Own and unify the platform and infrastructure that powers our core products and services. • Treat our engineers as your customers—build the tooling, paved roads, and self-service workflows that let them ship quickly and safely. • Own CI/CD and release automation, keeping the path to production fast, reliable, and observable. • Own feature-flag, configuration, and secrets infrastructure, along with the reliability of our background-job, caching, and queue systems (Celery, Redis, RabbitMQ). • Improve observability and operational health across services through structured logging, error monitoring, and APM, and share in the on-call rotation for platform and infrastructure services. • Own the platform's security guardrails—secrets management, IAM and access control, PCI/PII data handling, and vulnerability management. • Own and automate compliance and audit readiness (PCI-DSS, SOC 2, partner security reviews), coordinating external auditors and making the process repeatable. • Set technical direction for platform and security, driving toward infrastructure-as-code over time.

🎯 Requirements

• 6+ years of professional engineering experience, with a strong platform, infrastructure, or backend focus. • Deep, hands-on AWS experience (EKS/Kubernetes, EC2, Lambda, RDS) in high-availability production environments. • Strong CI/CD and release-engineering background, with containerization using Docker and Kubernetes, and a track record of building tooling that improves developer experience (Terraform a plus). • Comfort working in a Python/Django codebase (Celery, Redis, PostgreSQL), able to read and contribute to platform code. • Experience with modern observability and monitoring tooling across logging, error tracking, and APM. • A security-minded engineer fluent in secrets management, IAM/access control, and dependency hygiene, ideally with hands-on PCI-DSS or SOC 2 experience. • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.

🏖️ Benefits

• Competitive salary and stock option plan • Medical, Dental, and Vision insurance • 401(k) plan with 5% company match • Flexible vacation policy • Fully remote work environment
