OpsMill is a company that builds Infrahub, an AI-ready infrastructure data management platform and unified source of truth for network, data center, and cloud automation. Infrahub models infrastructure with flexible, user-defined schemas (graph-based), version-control and GitOps workflows, and native integrations with tools like Ansible and Terraform to enable configuration management, IPAM/resource management, self-service catalogs, and AIOps-driven reasoning and automation. The platform targets network and infrastructure teams, offering enterprise features, open-source/community options, and capabilities for validation, auditing, and automated deployments.

📋 Description

• Own the technical software architecture across our platform ecosystem—Infrahub, and future products—to ensure clean, extensible design that scales gracefully with customer growth • Lead strategic initiatives hands-on, implementing high-impact architectural improvements to our graph database engine, backend services, and core platform components • Drive systematic reduction of technical debt by establishing architectural standards, identifying areas that will create problems at scale, and guiding the team through thoughtful evolution of the codebase • Champion and implement AI-first engineering practices across the team—establishing how we leverage AI in day-to-day development, ensuring our codebase and platform work seamlessly with AI tooling, and designing product capabilities that make it easier for customers to build AI-powered automation on Infrahub • Provide technical leadership through architecture reviews, code reviews, RFC/design doc creation, and mentorship—elevating the entire engineering team's capabilities and decision-making • Collaborate with Product, Head of Engineering, and CTO to anticipate scaling challenges before they arrive, translating business roadmap into technical strategy and ensuring our software architecture enables rather than constrains product innovation • Work closely with engineers through implementation phases, ensuring architectural decisions are properly understood and executed while maintaining high velocity and code quality

🎯 Requirements

• 8+ years of backend and platform engineering experience, with a track record of building and scaling complex systems that handle real production load • Expert-level Python proficiency and deep understanding of writing performant, maintainable code in large codebases • Experience building developer platforms or tools that other engineers build on top of • Proven experience designing and scaling distributed systems, including API design, data consistency patterns, and architectural trade-offs at scale • Track record of leading significant initiatives or platform architecture design, with examples of improving system scalability, reliability, or developer velocity • Hands-on software architect mindset—you're equally comfortable writing code, reviewing designs, and mentoring engineers to elevate the entire team's technical capabilities • Strong conviction about AI-first engineering and eagerness to drive its adoption across the team, transforming how we build software and enabling our customers to leverage AI effectively • Excellent written and verbal communication skills—you can write clear design docs, present technical strategy to leadership, and collaborate effectively across product, engineering, and customer-facing teams • Self-directed and effective in remote environments with at least 4 hours of overlap with CET timezone (Europe, UK, or US East Coast locations work well).

🏖️ Benefits

• The people: Work alongside world-class engineers who've built and scaled automation platforms in production.

Your input directly influences features, integrations, and roadmap priorities. • The mission: We're making enterprise-grade infrastructure automation accessible to any organization. Open-source at the core, production-ready out of the box.
