Job description

Hygo reaches 250 million people every month with original video content built around the things people are passionate about. We're not a tech company that dabbles in media — we're a global media company that runs on serious production infrastructure.

We're looking for a Platform Engineer who wants to own the systems that keep content flowing to a quarter-billion people — reliably, at scale, every single day.

🔧 What You'll Work On

This is an ownership role — you won't be executing tickets, you'll be evolving a real production system.

• Own and evolve production infrastructure across 14+ servers running Next.js, NestJS, Temporal, Redis, and PostgreSQL
• Manage and improve our Temporal workflow orchestration layer — the backbone of all job processing including avatar generation, video processing, and billing
• Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines, deployment automation, and bulletproof rollback procedures
• Level up observability: distributed tracing, alerting, SLA dashboards, and error budgets
• Harden the system against failure — connection pool exhaustion, queue contention, webhook delivery reliability, and more
• Manage database infrastructure, Redis clusters, and Cloudflare R2 object storage

✅ What We're Looking For

• 4+ years in infrastructure, DevOps, or platform/SRE roles
• Deep experience with Linux server administration and systemd service management
• Hands‑on with workflow orchestration systems — Temporal, Airflow, or similar
• Strong PostgreSQL operations knowledge: replication, connection pooling, backup and recovery
• Experience with modern monitoring stacks — Sentry, Grafana, Prometheus, or OpenTelemetry
• Bonus: Cloudflare (R2, DNS, Zero Trust), DigitalOcean, GitHub Actions ✨
• $120,000 – $140,000 base salary, depending on experience

Why Hygo?

You'll own infrastructure that actually matters — not internal tooling, not a staging environment. The systems you build and maintain directly support content reaching 250 million people every month. We move fast, we trust our engineers, and we invest in doing things right.
