About the Role
Join an early-stage B2B SaaS team as its first infrastructure engineer, owning the runtime, agent infrastructure, observability, and self-hosted deployment experience.

What We're Looking For
- Three to nine years of professional software engineering experience, including at least three years in a fast-moving, high-growth startup environment.
- Production experience operating, scaling, and debugging Kubernetes, with end-to-end ownership of cloud infrastructure or a platform.
- Hands-on cloud infrastructure experience and a strong understanding of production observability across logs, metrics, and tracing.
- Experience using AI coding agents effectively while applying sound production engineering judgment.
- Experience building self-hosted, single-tenant product deployments is valuable.
- A completed or in-progress engineering, computer science, or quantitative degree and strong technical fundamentals.
