Job Description

Remote, US | $180K–$230K base + equity

About the Company

Our client is a stealth-stage enterprise identity startup founded by a proven team that has previously built and exited a successful enterprise software company. The company is building a modern identity platform for businesses, with a strong focus on security, reliability, product quality, and excellent user experience.

The team is small, fully remote, and highly engineering-driven.

About the Role

This is a foundational infrastructure role for a small product engineering team.

You will own the company’s infrastructure architecture, tooling, reliability, and operational strategy from the ground up. This is not a point-and-click DevOps role. The team is looking for a software engineer who specializes in infrastructure and is comfortable writing production Go, owning Kubernetes, building CI/CD systems, and partnering closely with product engineers.

What You’ll Do

• Own infrastructure architecture and operations across cloud environments
• Build and maintain Kubernetes-based infrastructure
• Design and operate CI/CD pipelines and developer tooling
• Own observability, alerting, metrics, tracing, and reliability workflows
• Support secure-by-design infrastructure decisions
• Drive capacity planning, incident response, postmortems, and runbooks
• Build reliable systems for an enterprise-scale identity platform
• Work closely with backend, product, design, and security teams

What We’re Looking For

• 5+ years of infrastructure, platform, or backend systems engineering experience
• Production Go experience
• Strong Kubernetes experience in production
• CI/CD pipeline design and maintenance experience
• Cloud infrastructure experience, ideally GCP or similar hyperscaler
• Infrastructure-as-code experience, ideally Terraform
• Strong software engineering fundamentals
• Collaborative mindset and excitement to work closely with product engineering

Nice to Have

• Experience as an early infrastructure hire or building infra 0→1
• Observability tooling experience
• Postgres, networking, storage, or distributed systems experience
• PKI or compliance infrastructure experience
• Enterprise SaaS, identity, security, or developer infrastructure background
