Software Engineer, Backend Developer, Cloud Engineer - Software

Remote
- United States | Full-time

We're working with a rapidly growing, AI-native technology company building the infrastructure behind the next generation of automated financial workflows.

The company has already powered more than $85B in transactions through its platform and is scaling rapidly. They're looking for a Senior/Staff Software Engineer to join their Platform team and help build the infrastructure, developer tooling and systems that enable engineers to ship faster, safer and more reliably.

This is a highly hands-on engineering role for someone who enjoys working at the intersection of infrastructure, backend engineering and developer experience.

You'll treat infrastructure as a product and work closely with engineering teams to improve developer velocity, reliability and scalability.

• Owning and evolving AWS infrastructure using Terraform and/or Pulumi
• Building internal developer tooling, Type Script libraries and shared SDKs
• Designing and maintaining CI/CD pipelines, including Buildkite
• Building per-pull-request ephmeral environments to make deployment fast and safe
• Improving platform observability, reliability and performance
• Designing systems around SLOs, auto-scaling and incident response
• Solving complex scaling challenges across databases, compute and distributed infrastructure
• Building backend Type Script tooling that makes product engineers significantly more productive
• RDS / Elasti Cache / MSK
• Cloud Watch / Cloud Trail

• 7+ years of software engineering experience
• Strong platform / infrastructure / backend engineering background
• Experience working at a high-growth technology company or startup
• Deep hands-on AWS experience across compute, networking, storage and security
• Strong Terraform and/or Pulumi experience
• Proven experience building and maintaining CI/CD infrastructure
• Strong Type Script and Node.js skills
• Comfortable making meaningful changes to backend codebases, not just managing infrastructure
• Experience with reliability engineering, including SLOs, error budgets and incident response
• Strong systems and infrastructure design skills
• Excellent written communication and ability to document complex systems
• A strong product mindset around developer experience and internal tooling

• Experience building EPHEMERAL / per-PR environments
• Production observability experience with Datadog, Cloud Watch, Sentry or distributed tracing
• Experience building internal platforms, CLIs, SDKs, code generators or developer frameworks
• Experience scaling high-throughput systems
• Experience at high-growth companies such as Stripe, Datadog, Cloudflare, Confluent, Hashi Corp, OpenAI, Anthropic or similar environments

• AI-native company - building modern technology from the ground up rather than layering AI onto legacy systems
• Platform at the centre - your work directly impacts the productivity of the entire engineering organisation
• Significant growth - join during a major period of engineering expansion
• Challenging technical problems - work on infrastructure operating at meaningful scale
• Fully remote - work remotely across the US
• Comprehensive benefits including medical, dental, vision, 401(k), HSA/FSA and flexible time off

If you're a Senior or Staff Engineer who loves building infrastructure but still wants to write code, build developer tooling and solve difficult backend problems, this could be a great opportunity to make a significant impact.
