The Role

We’re looking for a Platform Engineer to define and lead the technical direction of our platform as we scale 10x+ in enterprise customers.

This is a hands-on, high-impact role responsible for architecture, reliability, and developer experience across our Kubernetes-based infrastructure. You will solve hard technical problems, raise the engineering bar through your work, and be a key technical partner to product engineers across the company.

What You Will Own

Platform Reliability & Scalability

Design and implement scalable solutions within our Kubernetes-based platform for secure enterprise workloads.
Define and contribute to reliability initiatives: SLOs, capacity planning, and resilience improvements.
Identify and resolve system misconfigurations and architectural risks.
Build systems that support 10x customer growth with clear failure modes and mitigation strategies.

Infrastructure as a Product

Own and continuously improve internal platform systems: deployments, environments, and developer tooling.
Drive improvements to reliability, observability, and operational workflows.
Act as a force multiplier for product engineers by building guardrails (not gates) and self-serve tooling.

Systems Thinking

Bring structure and rigor to complex infrastructure problems.
Contribute to internal engineering standards and design principles.
Work cross-functionally with engineering, product, and leadership to unblock and accelerate delivery.

What You Will Need

Extensive, production-grade Kubernetes scaling experience
(not just operating clusters, but growing them significantly from early-stage to production-critical workloads).
Deep understanding of distributed systems tradeoffs.
Previously worked in:
- Big tech → then startup
- Or startup that successfully scaled infrastructure.
Strong systems mindset.
Comfortable operating in ambiguity.
Enjoys being a technical owner with broad company impact.

Bonus

Experience with single-tenant architectures.
Background in financial services or regulated environments.
Familiarity with banking-level security and data governance.

Who You Are

You thrive in fast-paced environments. You are high-intensity and care a lot about what you do, and you're ecstatic to work at a startup.
