Staff Software Engineer, Infrastructure

Role overview

Improve the infrastructure foundations that support a multi-tenant platform and single-tenant customer environments. You’ll own one or more substantial projects across cloud infrastructure, delivery systems, databases, cost, security, or customer-facing platform capabilities, carrying the work from problem definition through implementation. The focus is on making the platform more reliable and helping the wider engineering team ship effectively.

Responsibilities

- Improve CI/CD pipelines for speed, cost, and flexibility. - Automate setup, updates, and teardown of single-tenant environments. - Improve the performance, migration processes, and capacity of a production PostgreSQL database. - Increase visibility into infrastructure spending and identify opportunities to reduce costs. - Strengthen workload and container isolation and support compliance efforts. - Build customer infrastructure features such as private connectivity, customer-defined networking, and easier-to-operate dedicated deployments.

Requirements

- At least 5 years building and operating production infrastructure, including on-call work. - Strong Kubernetes operations skills, including reasoning about scheduling, networking, and failure modes. - Solid AWS fundamentals, particularly EKS, RDS, VPC networking, and IAM. - Experience with infrastructure as code; Terraform is preferred. - Ability to read and write enough application code to change a pipeline, controller, or service. - Clear technical writing, including design documents and runbooks, and the ability to take an ill-defined problem through delivery.

Nice to have

Depth in at least one area: networking (such as private connectivity, DNS, TLS, or certificates), PostgreSQL at scale (replication, tuning, pooling, upgrades, or migrations), or deployment systems (CI/CD ownership, build performance, releases, or artifacts). The stated stack includes AWS, PostgreSQL, Redis, LanceDB, DynamoDB, MSK, TypeScript, Python, Rust, Go, Terraform, and Datadog.

Benefits and work setup

The stated salary range is $246,000–$329,000. The package also includes equity, comprehensive health benefits, and flexible paid time off; final salary placement depends on location, skills, experience, and internal equity.
