Platform Engineer

Zaras is building the operating layer for the trades — one record that carries a service business from first call to deposit cleared. Our team is small, hands‑on, and field‑first. We operate with a flat structure. All employees are expected to contribute directly to the work. Leadership is given to those who show initiative and consistently deliver.

Own the spine underneath everything — Postgres, edge functions, and the event contracts that other services consume. You will set the bar for migrations, observability, and incident response.

• Author non‑trivial Postgres migrations with rollback plans.
• Operate the event spine — contracts, replay, and dead‑letter handling.
• Run the on‑call rotation and tighten time‑to‑detect.
• Pair with product engineers on data‑model changes.
• 5+ years on platform or backend teams.
• Production experience with edge or serverless runtimes.
• Willingness to be on‑call (≈one week in four).

• Supabase or Postgres‑as‑a‑platform experience.
• Built event‑sourced or CQRS systems in production.
• Comfortable writing technical docs and runbooks.
• Vertical SaaS background.

Zaras is an equal opportunity employer.
