## About the role

You'll own the platform that every other Scalar product runs on — the services, infrastructure, and internal tooling behind Docs, SDKs, the API Client, and Agent Scalar. This is one of the most load-bearing roles on the team: when you make the platform faster and more reliable, everyone ships faster.

## What they're looking for

- You've owned production infrastructure at a startup or small team and liked the breadth of it
- You're comfortable being the person who understands how things actually work, end to end
- You can go deep on a TypeScript-heavy stack — and you like that our infra is written in TypeScript too
- You've run real services on a cloud provider (we're on GCP) and understand the trade-offs between serverless and long-lived VMs
- You make decisions and communicate them clearly without waiting to be told what to do
- You'd rather collaborate to the right answer than win the argument, and you operate with a high level of kindness
