About the role
- This infrastructure already powers 16,000 workplaces and 9,000+ companies-including names like Netflix, Disney, GitHub, and Nvidia-and it's the only solution on the market that truly connects people, spaces, and data end‑to‑end.
- This on-site position requires 4 days a week (Monday through Thursday) in our San Francisco HQ office.
- Participate in the on-call rotation and ensure incidents result in durable fixes and systemic improvements, not repeated manual intervention.
Responsibilities
- Join our lean, product‑driven engineering team and you'll design resilient micro‑services, build blazing‑fast mobile experiences, craft models that predict occupancy, and ship features that shape how millions collaborate every day.
- If you want to solve juicy real‑world problems at global scale-and see your code light up offices around the world-come build the future of work with us.
- Own and evolve Envoy's core infrastructure platform to be opinionated and well-bounded, ensuring shared systems are not the dominant source of customer-facing downtime.
- Design and lead the architecture and standards for AWS infrastructure, with Terraform as the source of truth and a strong focus on consistency, safety, and auditability.
- Own the Kubernetes platform and its surrounding ecosystem, including cluster architecture, scaling strategies, observability, and operational best practices.
- Build and maintain paved paths for service deployment, CI/CD, networking, observability, and access control, reducing ad-hoc infrastructure decisions and the need for direct production access.
- Partner closely with application, security, and developer experience teams to design infrastructure that meets product needs while enforcing clear guardrails and ownership boundaries.
- Drive meaningful reductions in operational toil by improving defaults, automation, and platform ergonomics, including pragmatic adoption of AI-assisted workflows where they demonstrably improve signal, safety, or speed.
Nice to have
- Experience in high-growth or startup environments where platforms evolve rapidly.
- Familiarity with SOC 2, ISO 27001, or similar compliance frameworks.
- Experience partnering closely with security teams on secure-by-default infrastructure and access models.
- Exposure to service mesh, advanced networking patterns, or multi-region architectures.
- Experience applying AI-assisted tools or workflows to improve infrastructure safety, speed, or operational signal.
- High trust and autonomy to shape Envoy's infrastructure platform and technical direction.
- The opportunity to have a broad, visible impact across the entire engineering organization.
- Completing this application requires you to provide personal data, such as your name and contact information, which is mandatory for Envoy to process your application.
Skills
- More than 16,000 workplaces around the world trust Envoy to run secure, compliant, and connected operations across every location.
