You will:

• Work on cloud account and project bootstrapping, authentication wiring, proxy and private networking, and deployment orchestration.
• Partner closely with Platform, Security, Product, and customer‑facing teams to make deployments faster, safer, and easier to operate.
• Raise the quality, reliability, and coverage of our AWS and GCP deployment tooling over time.

About you:

• You have 4+ years of professional software engineering experience, ideally in platform, infrastructure, or cloud‑focused roles.
• You have solid backend engineering fundamentals and the ability to work across infrastructure‑heavy systems.
• You have hands‑on experience with cloud infrastructure in AWS, GCP.
• You have experience with Terraform or other infrastructure as code tools.
• You have strong networking fundamentals, including VPCs, subnets, routing, proxies, and private connectivity.
• You have built or improved deployment automation, onboarding workflows, internal cloud platforms, or customer‑environment setup systems.
• You can balance engineering rigor with pragmatism and are excited to turn complex setup problems into repeatable productized systems.
• You communicate clearly, collaborate well across functions, and are comfortable taking ownership in an evolving environment.

Location

• This role is hybrid (4 days a week in our San Francisco office)
