The bar is high, and we mean it.We're looking for a steep slope — someone who's grown fast, punched above their level, and built more than their years would suggest.

No existing platform to inherit, no committee. Just you and the founders shaping how they scale.You'll join a small team of genuinely strong engineers (ex-Stripe, Samsara, Brex). Everyone here clears a high bar — you'd be no exception.What we're after:5-10 yrs as an infra / platform engineerYou've built cloud infra from scratch, not just maintained itStrong on AWS, Terraform, CI/CD, observabilityBonus: security/compliance, or you've been an early/first infra hire beforeContinuDetails:Up to $285K base + competitive equityHybrid — Mon-Thurs in Flatiron NYC, Fri remoteVisa sponsorship considered case-by-caseIf you build infra, don't babysit it — let's talk.
