  • We are looking for smart engineers who love to code, seek challenging problems, and appreciate recognition for excellent work

  • As part of the infrastructure team, you will work on the infrastructure and tooling that power our core platform

  • You’ll maintain CI/CD pipelines, automate operational workflows, and ensure we stay secure and compliant to the industry standards

  • Your day-to-day responsibilities will include improving infrastructure performance and reliability, monitoring and optimizing system cost, and collaborating with engineering teams to standardize environments and deployment patterns

  • You’ll help to maintain observability and incident response processes, and ensure the scalability of our cloud-based systems as we continue to grow

  • You’ll collaborate with a global team of full-stack, data, ML, and DevOps engineers to build scalable backend solutions as we continue to grow

  • We’re a small team where individual contributions have an outsized impact on both our technology and our business- Bonus: experience with LLMs/generative AI, distributed systems

  • Have experience with serverless technologies (Lambda, EC2), asynchronous workflows, and cloud environments

  • Take full ownership of your work and drive projects to completion with minimal oversight

  • Know Python (our main stack), though we’re open to strong candidates from other OO backgrounds

  • Embody hustle and grit, you’re excellent at your craft and relentless in pursuing it
