F2 Engineer - Member of Technical Staff

About F2

F2 is the AI platform for private markets investors — purpose-built to transform how institutional teams underwrite, diligence, and deploy capital. Our AI converts messy, unstructured deal materials into investment-grade insights in minutes, helping private credit funds, commercial banks, and private equity firms make faster, more confident decisions.

Backed by leading investors, including NFX and Y Combinator, we’re scaling a world-class product and engineering team to build the future of vertical AI for finance. We are scaling quickly across our offices in New York, San Francisco, and London.

The Role:

We are seeking a hands-on Infrastructure Tech Lead who thrives in building from 0‑1 and driving execution, directly contributing production-level systems while shaping our core technical foundation. You will collaborate closely with the founding team to architect, deploy, and scale the cloud infrastructure powering F2’s AI-driven enterprise analytics platform.

What you’ll do:

Hands-on platform building. Architect and implement foundational cloud infrastructure from scratch: compute, networking, CI/CD, and observability. Actively writing infrastructure-as-code and shipping production systems, not just diagrams.
Own the infrastructure architecture. Define and execute the technical vision and multi-year roadmap for our AWS-based platform (ECS/Fargate, containerized Python and Node services), ensuring rapid iteration while scaling reliably with enterprise demand.
Run durable, AI-heavy workloads. Operate and scale our workflow orchestration layer (Temporal), streaming pipelines, vector search infrastructure, and high-throughput LLM inference paths; balancing latency, throughput, and cost.
Design for security and compliance. Build infrastructure that meets SOC 2 requirements from day one: multi-tenant isolation, secrets management, least-privilege IAM, audit logging, and encrypted data flows across storage, database, and AI providers.
Establish operational excellence. Set and uphold standards for IaC, deployment pipelines, incident response, SLOs, and on-call practices; mentor engineers to foster a culture of reliable, observable, cost-efficient systems.
Cross-functional collaboration. Partner with product, backend, frontend, and enterprise customers to translate requirements (data residency, uptime guarantees, deployment models_ into pragmatic infrastructure solutions.

What you bring:

Hands-on technical leadership. 7+ years building and scaling mission-critical cloud infrastructure on AWS and/or GCP, with demonstrated experience architecting platforms from the ground up.
Deep container and orchestration expertise. Production experience with ECS/Fargate, Kubernetes, or equivalent: including service networking, autoscaling, zero-downtime deploys, and multi-environment release strategies.
Infrastructure-as-code fluency. Strong command of Terraform, Pulumi, or CloudFormation, plus CI/CD pipeline design (GitHub Actions or similar) and GitOps workflows.
Data and AI infrastructure experience. Familiarity operating Postgres at scale (RDS, Supabase, or self-managed), Redis, message/workflow systems (Temporal, SQS, Kafka), and ideally vector databases or LLM serving infrastructure.
Security-first mindset. Practical experience with SOC 2 (or similar) compliance programs, IAM design, VPC architecture, secrets management, and multi-tenant data isolation.
Execution-driven mindset. You thrive in environments where you own systems end-to-end, iterate rapidly, and deliver production-ready solutions; and you measure success in uptime, latency, and dollars saved.
Passionate builder who enjoys solving complex distributed-systems challenges and iterating toward clear, impactful goals.
