## About the role

Kikoff's infrastructure team builds the systems that enable engineering teams to move quickly without sacrificing reliability, security, or cost discipline. The team owns five connected areas: Observability, Developer Productivity, Compute Infrastructure, Networking and Storage, and Data Infrastructure.

## What they're looking for

- 7+ years of infrastructure, platform, or software engineering experience, or an equivalent record of Staff-level technical impact
- Sustained ownership of a consequential production system. You have operated what you built, handled incidents and unfamiliar failure modes, and improved the system afterward
- Strong coding skills in TypeScript, Python, Go, Ruby, or a similar language. You can build production software, not only configure tools
- Production experience with AWS, infrastructure as code, containers, CI/CD, observability, and the security boundaries around them
- Experienced generalist judgment. You have depth in at least one infrastructure domain and can learn quickly across adjacent ones
- A track record of building platform capabilities that engineers adopted because they solved real problems and were easier to use than one-off alternatives
