About Us

SiteRecon is a B2B SaaS platform transforming property measurements for landscapers and snow removal contractors in the $176B US market. Using advanced AI on high‑resolution aerial imagery, we’ve reduced measurement time from 1 week to 1 day, aiming for 1 hour with upcoming AI advancements.

Role Overview

We’re looking for our founding Platform Engineer to build our infrastructure from the ground up. This isn’t about maintaining existing systems – it’s about architecting the foundation that will scale from thousands to millions of property measurements.

As our first dedicated Platform Engineer, you’ll have the rare opportunity to make architectural decisions that will impact the company for years to come. You’ll transform our current infrastructure into a world‑class platform that balances the speed of a startup with the security standards of an enterprise.

You’ll work directly with our CTO and engineering leadership to define our infrastructure philosophy. Every decision you make – from our CI/CD pipeline to our security architecture – will set the standard for how we build and ship software. This is a role for someone who wants to own outcomes, not just execute tasks.

What Makes This Different

• Greenfield Opportunity: Design our platform architecture from first principles, making technology choices that will define our engineering culture
• Direct Impact: Your work directly affects every engineer’s productivity and our ability to serve customers. When you improve deployment time by 50%, everyone feels it
• Full Ownership: Own the entire platform stack – from infrastructure to development tools. No bureaucracy, no legacy systems, just building the right thing

Key Responsibilities

• Foundation Building
• Architect our cloud platform on GCP from scratch, making crucial decisions on everything from network topology to data encryption strategies
• Design and implement our first proper CI/CD pipeline that takes us from 30‑minute deployments to sub‑5 minute deployments
• Build our infrastructure‑as‑code foundation using Terraform, establishing patterns that will be used for years
• Lead our SOC2 compliance journey by building security into every layer of our infrastructure
• Implement customer‑managed encryption and zero‑trust networking as foundational principles, not after‑thoughts
• Create automated security scanning and remediation systems that make compliance invisible to developers
• Developer Platform Creation
• Build the self‑service platform that lets developers provision infrastructure in minutes, not days
• Create golden paths that make the secure, scalable choice the default choice
• Design observability systems that give developers superpowers in production
• Scale Preparation
• Architect systems that can handle 100x growth without major rewrites
• Build cost optimization into our DNA – making smart resource decisions early
• Prepare disaster recovery and backup systems before we need them

You're Right For This If You

• Want to be "the DevOps person" everyone comes to, not just another engineer on the team
• Get excited about making architectural decisions that will matter for years
• Believe infrastructure should be visible when it works and helpful when it doesn’t
• Can balance startup speed with enterprise reliability

What You’ll Build in Year One

• Sub‑5 minute deployments with automatic rollbacks
• 99.9% uptime with comprehensive monitoring
• Full SOC2 compliance with automated controls
• 50% reduction in infrastructure costs through optimization

Technical Requirements

• Deep expertise with GCP services and cloud architecture
• Strong experience with Terraform, Kubernetes, and container orchestration
• Track record of building platforms that scale

Why This Role Matters?

Every hour you save our engineers is multiplied across the team. Every security issue you prevent protects thousands of customers. Every system you build becomes the foundation for our next phase of growth. This isn’t just a DevOps role – it’s a chance to define how a successful AI company builds and ships software.
