About the role

You'll partner with platform, data, QA, and product engineers across the organization, owning the intersection of reliability and security: the tooling, monitoring, alerting, emergency response, and systems design the whole org depends on. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

What they're looking for

  • Senior-to-staff experience as an SRE, platform, or infrastructure engineer, owning production reliability at scale
  • Hands-on application and/or infrastructure security experience, enough to lead the security conversation without a separate security team in the room
  • Practical experience building with LLMs and agentic systems. You've shipped something real and understand their failure modes and where human oversight is non-negotiable
  • Strong software engineering fundamentals. You build tools and systems, not just configure them
  • A coaching instinct: you measure impact by how much you raise the teams around you
More about this role

UnitedMasters is building a marketplace that connects artists, brands and fans - empowering artists to earn and grow. UnitedMasters has taken the bold step of building a music distribution service that, radically, puts artists first - disrupting the legacy music business by letting up-and-coming artists distribute their music directly to fans through streaming services while maintaining ownership of their master recording rights and up to 100% of royalties. Through the combination of UnitedMasters' music distribution platform and its deep ties to brands, UnitedMasters enables independent artists and change-makers to grow and earn unlike any other platform.

The UnitedMasters team is made up of musicians, marketers, engineers, and storytellers with backgrounds from YouTube, SoundCloud, Pandora, Facebook, Uber, Dropbox, Complex, VICE, and more. We work hand in hand with the award-winning creative teams that forge those innovative partnerships at Translation (our in-house creative advertising agency).
