About this role

ABOUT THE ROLE

Join an early-stage B2B SaaS company as a Senior Platform Software Engineer. You will own cloud infrastructure, deployment systems, and reliability for a high-traffic platform, helping the team make sound architecture decisions and ship with confidence.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

  • Architect, deploy, and operate AWS infrastructure across compute, messaging, storage, networking, and observability.
  • Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines that automate deployments from commit through production.
  • Manage production PostgreSQL, including configuration, performance tuning, migrations, and backup strategies.
  • Balance delivery speed with investment in foundational system quality.
  • Work with stakeholders and product teams to shape architecture and technical direction.
  • Explore AI-assisted development tools and integrate them into build and deployment workflows.
  • Diagnose complex distributed-systems issues and deliver pragmatic solutions for high-availability services.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

  • At least 5 years of professional software engineering experience, including operating high-traffic, high-availability systems at scale.
  • Deep, hands-on experience running production infrastructure on AWS and managing infrastructure as code with Terraform or a similar tool.
  • Production PostgreSQL expertise, including connection pooling, migrations, performance optimization, and backup and restore.
  • Experience building or maintaining production CI/CD pipelines and working with distributed-systems concepts such as ordering guarantees, idempotency, retries, at-least-once delivery, and partial-failure recovery.
  • Ability to read and understand TypeScript and Node.js application code, including NestJS codebases.
  • Experience with AI-assisted development workflows, such as agentic coding tools, multi-agent setups, or MCP servers, alongside the independent technical judgment to debug and reason about architecture.
  • Strong problem-solving, communication, collaboration, and ownership skills.
