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
- Advanced Terraform - module design, state management, programmatic provisioning patterns
- CodeRabbit is building the next generation of AI-native developer tooling; starting with code review.
- 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.
- Experience building and running large-scale distributed systems.
- You understand the trade-offs between consistency and availability, have debugged distributed failures in production, and have designed systems around them
Requirements
- Proficiency in Docker and container runtime internals: image layering, networking modes, security contexts, and build optimization
Nice to have
- 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
- Why Join Our Engineering Culture?
- 🤝 Collaborative Humans: Prioritizing collective intelligence
- 🚀 Fearless Innovators: Turning obstacles into growth opportunities
- 💪 Persistent, Passionate Developers: Thriving on complex, long-term challenges
- 🎯 Impact-Driven Creators: Crafting intuitive tools for developers
- 🧠 Rapid Learners and Un-learners: Adapting quickly in our fast-paced technological world
- GCP (GKE, Cloud Run, VPC, IAM, Cloud SQL, Cloud Storage, Load Balancing) - how these work under the hood, not just how to configure them
Company info
- CodeRabbit is an innovative research and development company focused on building extraordinarily productive human-machine collaboration systems.
- Our primary goal is to create the next generation of Gen AI-driven code reviewers:
- a symbiotic partnership between humans and advanced algorithms that significantly outperforms individual engineers.
- We combine language models with human ingenuity to push the boundaries of software development efficiency and quality.
- Engineers here find problems before they're assigned, use AI as a core part of how they build, ship with judgment, and own outcomes from proposal to production.
