The Company

Our client is building an AI-first platform in one of the largest and most operationally complex industries in the US.

They're already onboarding customers at scale, growing rapidly, and expect to double the size of their engineering organisation over the next few months.

The challenge now isn't finding product-market fit. It's building the infrastructure, tooling, and systems that allow the company to scale without slowing down.

The Role

Timing is everything with platform engineering.

Join too early and there isn't enough scale to justify the investment. Join too late and you're inheriting years of infrastructure decisions you didn't make.

The engineering team is still small enough that you'll have outsized influence on how things are built, but the business is already operating at a scale where platform engineering has become a force multiplier.

Engineering headcount is expected to double over the coming months, and the systems you build today will shape how that larger organisation operates tomorrow.

You'll work directly alongside product engineers and leadership, solving problems across infrastructure, observability, reliability, developer experience, and AI workload orchestration.

Success isn't measured by how many tickets you close. It's measured by how much faster every other engineer becomes because of what you build.

What you'll be working on:

• Owning and scaling cloud infrastructure across AWS
• Building platforms capable of supporting large-scale AI and agentic workloads
• Improving developer velocity through tooling, automation, and self-service infrastructure
• Designing observability systems that surface issues before customers feel them
• Building highly reliable distributed systems that can support rapid growth
• Defining platform standards, best practices, and engineering foundations as the team scales
• Driving reliability, incident management, and continuous platform improvement

What you'll bring:

• At least 5 years experience owning production infrastructure at scale
• Strong expertise across infrastructure, databases, networking, observability, SRE, or CI/CD
• Hands-on software engineering experience with Python, Go, TypeScript, or similar
• A track record of building internal platforms and tooling used by other engineers
• An ownership mindset and the ability to thrive in high-growth environments
• Experience in a startup /scale up or hyper growth environment!

Why this role?

This one gives you the chance to help define them.

If you're excited by high ownership, a small team, direct impact, and the opportunity to build the foundations for an engineering organisation that's about to scale aggressively, this is worth a conversation.
