About the role

We're looking for a Senior Software Engineer, Cloud Infrastructure who can take ownership of the reliability, automation, and evolution of our core systems.
You'll work across the stack, with a strong emphasis on backend, infrastructure, and system-level engineering, to strengthen the foundations that everything else runs on.

Design, implement, and maintain core systems and services that support our platform's reliability, performance, and scalability.
Build automation and tooling that reduce operational overhead, improve developer workflows, and enforce system-level consistency.
Develop integrations between our systems and external platforms (e.g., billing, CRM, authentication, analytics).
Architect and maintain infrastructure components (e.g., distributed services, data pipelines, deployment automation).
A bias toward automation and building tools that remove friction.

Strong professional experience in systems, platform, or infrastructure engineering.
Proficiency in Rust with a solid understanding of systems-level programming.
Solid experience with databases (transactional & analytical) including schema design, performance tuning, migrations, and operational reliability.
Strong understanding of API design, data flows, and service integrations.
Hands-on experience with distributed systems or service-oriented architectures.
Ability to work autonomously and make high-leverage technical decisions in a fast-moving environment.

Experience with frontend development (JavaScript/React) for occasional UI-level fixes.
Background with billing systems (Stripe) or CRM platforms.
Familiarity with CAD-adjacent workflows or domain-specific data pipelines.
The final offer will depend on multiple factors including candidate experience, skills, expertise, and market data.
Compensation may vary by geography.
