Premier consumer entertainment and commerce. Backed by General Catalyst.
About the role
As Triumph's first dedicated Infrastructure Engineer, you'll own the foundation that everything else runs on. Until now, our infrastructure has been built and maintained by the core engineering team alongside everything else — you'll be the first person whose entire mandate is to make it fast, observable, and bulletproof. Our platform touches gaming, finance, and social at scale, which means there's no margin for downtime.
What they're looking for
- Strong experience operating and scaling large production systems, with a track record of true ownership — you don't just build it, you keep it healthy
- Deep Postgres knowledge: you understand query planning, indexing, connection management, and what actually breaks at scale (Go and AlloyDB experience is a plus)
- Hands-on experience designing and maintaining CI/CD pipelines
- Fluency with observability and telemetry tooling, and an instinct for what to measure
- Comfort being the first and only person in a function — you're excited to set direction rather than inherit it, and you drive work to completion without a playbook handed to you
- Tenacity, pragmatism, and high agency — you prioritize the most impactful work and drive it to completion

Our platform touches gaming, finance, and social at scale, which means there's no margin for downtime. You'll define how we build, ship, and scale from the ground up — CI/CD pipelines, the databases under our highest-traffic paths, and the telemetry that tells us what's actually happening in production. This is a greenfield mandate: you're not inheriting an infra org, you're starting one. As we scale toward our next order of magnitude of growth, you'll set the standards every future infrastructure hire builds on.
Establish Triumph's infrastructure function — set the standards, tooling, and practices that the team and future hires will build on.
Own and evolve our CI/CD pipelines, making it fast and safe for a growing team to ship continuously.
Take end-to-end ownership of scaling our backend systems, identifying bottlenecks before they become incidents and...
