About the role
- CodeRabbit is hiring its founding Platform Engineer.
- This role carries the same ownership and pace as the rest of CodeRabbit engineering, applied with the rigor that foundational infrastructure demands.
Responsibilities
- We build the symbiotic partnership between developers and AI that makes shipping fast software safe again, reviewing every pull request, IDE change, and CLI commit so teams can move quickly without breaking things.
- You'll own the compute, orchestration, and infrastructure layer that CodeRabbit's AI engine and every product on top of it run on, across a multi-region GCP footprint and a product suite that's still growing.
- This is a 0-to-1 role: you'll build the platform function from the ground up, set the technical direction, establish the patterns everyone else builds on, and make the early architectural calls that are expensive to unwind later.
- The systems you build here need to be right, not just fast - everything else depends on them.
Requirements
- Proficiency in Docker and container runtime internals: image layering, networking modes, security contexts, and build optimization
Nice to have
- Strong cloud compute background on GCP or AWS.
- You've built infrastructure, not just consumed managed services
- you understand how compute, networking, and storage primitives work at the layer below the console
- Deep, hands-on experience with Kubernetes: you've gone beyond running workloads to understanding and configuring the control plane, writing operators or controllers, tuning schedulers, and debugging at the runtime level
Skills
- Container & Orchestration: CRDs, operators, admission webhooks, RBAC, network policies, autoscaling; strong Docker/OCI toolchain knowledge
- Distributed Systems: queuing, eventual consistency, backpressure, graceful degradation
- Programming: Node.js/TypeScript or Go for platform tooling, operators, and automation
- Observability: Datadog, Prometheus/Grafana or equivalent - custom instrumentation, distributed tracing, SLO-based alerting
- Systems: Linux internals, networking fundamentals (TCP/IP, DNS, load balancing, eBPF), storage systems
