About the role

About the Role

Join an early-stage cloud infrastructure company as a Founding Engineer, building software that helps teams deploy and manage applications in their own cloud environments. This hands-on role combines production engineering, infrastructure problem-solving, and direct customer collaboration.

What You'll Do

  • Build production-grade software across cloud infrastructure surfaces.
  • Own technical work end to end, from architecture and implementation through production deployment.
  • Investigate production issues by examining virtual machines, logs, and third-party open-source dependencies.
  • Collaborate with teammates on technical problems affecting customers' infrastructure and share product feedback.
  • Work in two-week project cycles, independently proposing and driving projects.
  • Speak with customers directly through Slack and use their needs to inform infrastructure decisions.

What We're Looking For

  • Five to eight years of experience building and shipping complex production software, including experience across roughly two startups.
  • Experience as a founding engineer or one of the earliest technical hires.
  • A strong background in distributed systems, cloud infrastructure, or both.
  • Experience owning production systems and solving technical problems from system design through deployment.
  • Ability to debug complex systems under pressure, including working directly with virtual machines and log files.
  • Comfort operating independently in environments without established processes or a defined playbook.

Compensation & Benefits

Base salary is $200,000 to $270,000 annually. Visa sponsorship is available for candidates authorized to work in the United States.

Location

On-site, five days per week in New York City, New York.
