About the role
- Medal's infrastructure handles billions of clips, video ingestion pipelines, and social features at a massive scale most engineers never get to touch.
- The work centers on reliability, incident response, scaling, and making sure our infrastructure keeps up with our growth.
- The right person probably came through startups and scale-ups, has been in the room when things broke at 2am, has scaled databases under pressure, and knows the difference between a durable fix and a patch that buys you a week.
Responsibilities
- Communication (crucial!): You flag issues clearly and rapidly during incidents and lead/write actionable postmortems
- You'll own the on-call rotation, drive postmortems, and work directly with engineering teams to meet their infra needs.
Requirements
- GCP depth: You know it maybe a little too well: Kubernetes, VPC, IAM, Cloud Logging, and the managed services ecosystem
- Database scaling: Deep, hands-on experience scaling and sharding relational databases (MySQL, Postgres) in production
- Incident response instincts: You can work a P0 calmly, communicate clearly under pressure, and run a postmortem that prevents recurrence
- Experience at startups: You are comfortable in an environment of rapid growth where scaling up is a priority
- Great judgment: You know the difference between a durable, sustainable fix and a patch that buys you a week
