Contribute to infrastructure-as-code efforts using tools like Terraform and Kubernetes.

Collaborate with the security and compliance teams to ensure the platform and its code meet organizational and regulatory standards, including SOC 2.

Partner with product and engineering teams to define and deliver platform capabilities, both internal and customer facing.

Extend and maintain our REST API.

Participate in the team's on-call rotation to support production systems.

5+ years of experience as a software engineer, ideally with platform or infrastructure focus, and 2+ years in a startup environment.

Proficiency with Python or Go, and familiarity with Linux systems.

Experience with cloud-native infrastructure (e.g., Kubernetes, Docker, Terraform).

Hands-on experience with AWS services and cloud infrastructure best practices.

Familiarity with CI/CD systems such as GitHub Actions or similar.

Strong communication skills and a collaborative mindset.

Comfortable working in a fast-paced, remote-first environment.

Experience supporting multi-tenant SaaS platforms.
