Platform Engineering

Role overview Platform engineers here build and evolve the systems that sit in the critical path of global payments, billing, and financial workflows for usage-based software and AI products. The work spans distributed systems, cloud infrastructure, observability, and the application layer, with a strong focus on reliability, financial correctness, and developer leverage. You'll join a small, remote-first engineering team that prizes pragmatic abstractions over infrastructure for its own sake.

Responsibilities - Design and evolve systems that stay highly available, performant, and resilient as traffic grows, identifying bottlenecks and designing for graceful failure. - Improve cloud architecture, infrastructure-as-code, and environments, introducing complexity only where it earns its place. - Strengthen observability, debugging, deployments, and incident response so engineers can ship confidently and recover quickly. - Build primitives, abstractions, and automation that reduce operational toil and let the broader engineering team move faster. - Translate financial and regulatory requirements into robust technical systems with auditability, access control, and data integrity built in from the start.

Requirements - Senior-level backend and systems engineering experience, including distributed systems, cloud infrastructure, and operating production systems at scale. - Strong SQL and data modeling depth, including relational database design, query optimization, and designing for data integrity and performance. - Pragmatic engineering judgement, with the ability to reason through complex trade-offs, anticipate failure modes, and move comfortably across infrastructure, backend, and application layers. - Product-minded thinking that balances speed, simplicity, and robustness when making engineering decisions. - End-to-end ownership mindset, from understanding the problem through shipping, operating, and improving the solution. - Security-minded approach that treats access control and auditability as first-class engineering considerations.

Nice to have - Experience with payments, billing, or financial infrastructure. - Open-source contributions and side projects.

Benefits and work setup - Remote-first small team with a strong bias toward shipping and high engineering quality. - Stack: TypeScript (React, Effect) on the frontend, Python (FastAPI, Dramatiq) on the backend, with Postgres, Clickhouse, and AWS in the infrastructure layer.
