About the role

We're looking for an engineer who wants real ownership early: someone independent, curious, and pragmatic, with strong systems instincts and good judgment.
You'll work across reliability, security, automation, cost, developer experience, and internal platforms.
We don't expect someone to have seen every tool before.

Design, build, and scale cloud infrastructure and orchestration systems, including Kubernetes, Terraform, and CI/CD, with support from senior engineers who are invested in your growth.
Own and evolve developer experience (DevEx) tools and workflows, from local development to deployment.
Build observability systems that provide insight into performance, reliability, and usage.
Collaborate with Data Scientists, Data Platform and Product Engineers to build shared platform tools necessary to scale our products and services.
Help enforce and maintain security and compliance standards across infrastructure (SOC 2, FedRAMP, etc).
Drive a culture of automation, resiliency, and operational excellence.
Build the infrastructure underneath how AI is changing work at Middesk, including systems that let engineers, operators, and agents collaborate safely and effectively.

3+ years of experience as a software engineer, with genuine interest in infrastructure, platform, or systems work - you don't need to have done this exact job before, but you need to want it.
This is work you can't vibe-code your way through.
Comfort with (or excitement about) work that isn't customer-facing - the impact here is deep, not loud.

Hands-on experience with Kubernetes, high-availability systems, production infrastructure, or infrastructure-as-code tools (e.g. Terraform) and GitOps workflows - none of this is required, you'll learn our stack here.
