About the role
- This is NOT a role for traditional operators or narrow DevOps specialists.
Responsibilities
- Own the direction of our infrastructure architecture, including defining when serverless is the right approach versus when we should evolve toward containerized or more managed systems, and guiding the team through those transitions as we scale.
- Small team, massive surface area, senior engineers own real systems, not slices.
- AI-native product, you'll design how cutting-edge AI models are exposed as real user experiences.
- Define and operationalize SLOs/SLIs across critical user journeys (generation, editing, payments/credits, uploads, etc.), and use them to drive prioritization (including error budgets)
- Participate in an on-call rotation and lead incident response improvements (alert quality, runbooks, escalation paths).
Requirements
- Ability to operate with ambiguity and define problems before solving them.
Nice to have
- Have shipped concrete reliability outcomes: e.g., reduced MTTR, improved SLO attainment, lowered p95 latency, or reduced infra/unit costs
- Prior startup experience or experience owning large surface-area features.
- ⚙ TECH STACK YOU'LL WORK WITH
- GCP, Cloud Run, Modal, Upstash, Sentry, Amplitude, Firebase, Redis, React / Next.js, Node.js, TypeScript, Python, etc.
- High autonomy, high growth environment
- Visa sponsorship available
- Act as a senior technical voice, influencing architecture, tooling, engineering best practices, and raising the overall engineering bar.
- Strong software engineering skills (you can ship production code, not just configure tools).
Compensation
- Competitive base salary and bonus program
Benefits
- Implement reliability patterns at external boundaries, and build mechanisms for per-vendor "health" measurement and routing/fallback policies
- Competitive base salary and bonus program
- Equity - meaningful ownership in what you build
