• Managing infrastructure as code using Kubernetes, Pulumi (Go), and Terraform.
• Automating deployments and optimizing CI/CD pipelines.
• Maintaining observability and monitoring systems.
• Participating in shared on-call responsibilities.
• (Optional) Sharing knowledge through talks or blog posts.

What You’ll Bring

• Strong hands-on experience with cloud infrastructure (AWS preferred).
• Solid understanding of PostgreSQL.
• Experience deploying and managing Kubernetes clusters and running databases in Kubernetes.
• Proficiency in infrastructure as code tools.
• Coding experience in Python, Go, or TypeScript, focused on clean, maintainable code.
• Familiarity with observability, monitoring, and incident management.
• Deep experience operating data-intensive products at scale.

Why You’ll Love This Opportunity

• 💰 Competitive salary + stock options
• 👶 2 months fully paid parental leave
• ✈️ 2 annual company offsites (past trips: Italy, Greece, Spain, Portugal & Iceland!)
• 📚 Learning budget for courses, books, and conferences
• 💻 Remote-first, asynchronous work culture — flexible and empowering
• 💬 Inclusive, diverse environment (40% women, female-founded leadership, all-female board)

The leadership team brings over a decade of experience running global remote organizations and building successful developer-focused products.
