About the role

About the Role

Join a Series A infrastructure software team building a platform for deploying and managing applications in customers' cloud environments. As a Founding Engineer, you will take ownership of complex technical work across the infrastructure stack and help shape the product through direct customer collaboration.

What You'll Do

  • Build production-grade software across cloud infrastructure surfaces.
  • Own technical work from architectural design through production deployment.
  • Investigate production issues by accessing virtual machines, analyzing logs, and tracing root causes.
  • Read and debug open-source repositories to understand third-party dependencies.
  • Collaborate with teammates on infrastructure-related customer needs and share product feedback.
  • Propose and drive work independently within two-week project cycles.
  • Talk with customers directly and incorporate their needs into infrastructure decisions.

What We're Looking For

  • Five to eight years of experience building and shipping complex production software beyond CRUD applications.
  • Experience as a founding engineer at approximately two startups.
  • A strong background in distributed systems or infrastructure.
  • Experience owning end-to-end technical problems, from architecture through deployment.
  • Sound judgment debugging complex production systems under pressure, including system-level investigation using shell access and log analysis.
  • Ability to work independently in environments without established playbooks or processes.
