Our technology and team of trusted advisors help members achieve financial independence by taking care of everything from business incorporation to accounting, bookkeeping, tax services, and access to a thriving community, all in one integrated platform. We believe in empowering self-employed people to enjoy the same tax savings that big companies get, so they can focus on their passion, not paperwork.\n\nFeatured in Forbes, Business Insider, Yahoo, Bloomberg, Financial Times, TechCrunch, and more. We are backed by General Catalyst, Sound Ventures, QED Investors, Google’s Gradient Ventures, Expa, and other investors who have financed iconic companies like YouTube, Substack, Twitch, Box, Hims, Instacart, and Lyft.\n\nAbout the role:\n\nYou'll join Collective's Infrastructure team, a small group that owns the platform every engineer here builds on: AWS and GCP foundations, CI/CD, IaC, observability, secrets management, and identity. We partner with product engineering to unblock shipping, with the security team to keep the platform safe, and with the AI Platform team on the infra behind Collective's growing AI investments. As a Senior Cloud Infrastructure Engineer on this team, you'll pave new paths, test recovery plans, and manage quiet, stable systems. You'll be the person justifying design choices with production experience and the one others turn to when a system needs rethinking.\n\nWhat you'll do:\n\nUse Infrastructure as Code (IaC) with Terraform to provision, deploy, and manage cloud resources on AWS and GCP as well as other SaaS vendors.\n\nEmbed security best practices into the infrastructure by enforcing zero-trust architecture principles like least privilege and identity-based access to protect systems and data.\n\nBuild scalable, reliable, and cost-effective systems that hold up as Collective grows.\n\nDevelop and test disaster recovery plans.\n\nOwn the CI/CD system engineering teams ship on. Set standards, drive reliability and speed improvements, and mentor teams on best practices.\n\nReduce operational toil across the platform through automation, leveraging AI tooling where it accelerates safe, high-quality work.\n\nWork closely with product engineering teams to understand application needs and translate them into scalable infrastructure solutions.\n\nOwn the observability stack (monitoring, logging, alerting) and use it to proactively identify and remediate performance bottlenecks.\n\nParticipate in the on-call rotation to respond to outages, recover systems, own incident response and post-mortem.\n\nStay current with emerging technologies and best practices in Cloud Infrastructure, DevOps, and Platform Engineering.\n\nWhat you'll bring:\n\nAt least 5 years of hands-on experience as a Cloud Infrastructure Engineer, DevOps, or SRE with a proven track record of operating production cloud environments at scale.\n\nYou operate effectively in ambiguous, fast-changing environments. You can pick up a half-defined problem, define the path forward, and drive it to production without waiting for a playbook.\n\nCloud Platforms: Proficiency in multi-cloud operations. AWS is highly preferred; GCP is a plus.\n\nExperience implementing infrastructure and security policy as code.\n\nStrong software development skills, preferably in Python or another high level language\n\nStrong written and verbal communication skills for driving cross-team alignment. You must be able to clearly and persuasively communicate complex concepts and risks in an engineering-driven environment.\n\nExperience mentoring engineers, leading post-incident reviews, or driving cross-team infra initiatives to completion. You're comfortable being the person other engineers ask when something breaks.\n\nAbility to write clean, maintainable code for automation and tooling. Experience building internal tools or services to eliminate manual work is a plus.\n\nFamiliarity with foundational networking concepts and protocols (TCP/IP, DNS, load balancing, VPCs, firewalls) and their application in cloud and hybrid environments.\n\nStrong hands-on skills with Linux and command-line tools; you are comfortable using terminals and utilities to manage and debug systems efficiently.\n\nComfort using AI tooling as leverage for infra automation, tooling, and debugging.
