About the role

About the Role

Join an early-stage B2B SaaS infrastructure company as its first infrastructure engineer. You will own the runtime and platform foundations for an agentic integration product, working closely with company leadership and helping shape the infrastructure team as it grows.

What You'll Do

  • Build and operate a reliable integration runtime with durable execution, isolated environments, and automated recovery.
  • Develop infrastructure to run coding agents that write, test, and deploy integration code in production.
  • Design observability across integrations and agents, including logs, metrics, and tracing.
  • Build a single-tenant, self-hostable deployment and own the platform layer end to end.
  • Set engineering patterns for future infrastructure hires, contribute to hiring, and ship production improvements continuously.

What We're Looking For

  • Three to nine years of professional software engineering experience, including at least three years in fast-moving, high-growth startup environments.
  • Experience operating, scaling, and debugging Kubernetes in production, with hands-on ownership of cloud infrastructure or a platform.
  • Experience designing production observability and building self-hosted or single-tenant deployments.
  • Familiarity with AWS, Docker, TypeScript, and PostgreSQL, and effective use of AI coding agents with sound production engineering judgment.
  • A completed or in-progress degree in engineering, computer science, or a quantitative field from a strong technical university.
  • Background as a startup founder or as an engineer at an early-stage, venture-backed startup.

Compensation & Benefits

Base salary: $175,000 to $300,000 annually. Visa sponsorship is available.

Location
