## About the role

Today, our core engineering team shares these responsibilities alongside building products. You will turn that work into a reliable, automated foundation that lets the entire team ship faster with confidence. This is a hands-on engineering role with meaningful ownership. You will work directly with the CTO, make architectural decisions, write code, improve our deployment pipelines, and build security into the way we operate.

## What they're looking for

- You have 2+ years of relevant experience in cloud infrastructure, DevOps, platform engineering, SRE, or security engineering. We care most about what you have independently owned in production
- You have operated real production systems on AWS. You understand compute, networking, IAM, storage, databases, and the tradeoffs involved in connecting them
- You built and debugged systems before AI tools became part of your workflow. You have the fundamentals to reason through a networking issue, understand a permissions policy, or recover a failed deployment yourself
- You have built and maintained deployment pipelines. You know how to ship changes safely, debug failed releases, and recover when something goes wrong
- You understand practical cloud security. You can identify risks, prioritize them, and implement fixes
- You can write code and automate repetitive work. You are comfortable with Python, TypeScript, Bash, or similar languages
