Powered by the most accurate device fingerprinting technology, Fingerprint enables engineers to prevent fraud, improve user experiences, and better understand their traffic. Backed by Craft Ventures.
About the role
Are you a systems-minded engineer who is happiest when production tells you something you didn't expect? Do you care less about how a system looks on a diagram than about how it behaves at 3am under load it wasn't designed for? Do you want to own reliability for a platform that answers millions of identification requests a day, where being wrong or being slow is a customer-visible event? If so, we have the perfect opportunity for you.
What they're looking for
- 6–10 years of experience in SRE, production engineering, infrastructure, or backend engineering within primarily cloud-based environments (AWS preferred), with meaningful time spent responsible for systems in production
- A track record of owning a system end to end — you've designed something significant, shipped it, operated it, and lived with the consequences when it misbehaved
- Hands-on experience defining and operating against SLIs, SLOs, and error budgets — not just reading the book, but getting targets adopted and acted on
- Strong incident skills: you've led or been a primary responder on high-severity, customer-facing incidents, and you've improved how an organization learns from them
- Depth in distributed systems failure modes in high-throughput, low-latency environments — cache and database saturation, cascading failure, retry storms, capacity limits, degradation and load shedding
- Depth in cloud infrastructure fundamentals: networking, load balancing, containerization (EKS/Kubernetes), and distributed systems
