Full Job Description

📋 Description

  • Platform engineers here also work with customers where it counts: our buyers ask hard questions about data, integrations, and security architecture, and engineers who answer them well help close seven-figure deals.
  • The day-to-day is infrastructure, data, and backend.
  • Build and scale the ingestion, storage, and search infrastructure behind 10,000+ government data sources: Postgres with logical replication, object storage on S3 and R2, pipelines that run continuously.
  • Ship one codebase to three security environments: commercial SaaS on Cloudflare Workers, self-hosted Kubernetes in AWS GovCloud for FedRAMP High, and IL5 deployments — including tooling we've built ourselves, like forks of Supabase and Trigger.dev http://Trigger.dev for restricted networks.
  • Build compliance into the platform itself: automated CVE remediation that took 10,000+ CVEs across 20+ container images to zero in two weeks, secure-by-default services, auditable CI/CD.
  • Build infrastructure where AI agents are first-class users: agentic harnesses that support how billions in government contract volume gets won and managed, automated remediation loops, and deployment tooling used by engineers and agents alike.
  • Work with our deployment team to integrate customer data, including data underpinning America's warfighting capabilities, and support thousands of users at enterprises managing billions in contracts.
  • Our stack: TypeScript, SvelteKit, Cloudflare Workers, Kubernetes, Postgres, Trigger.dev http://Trigger.dev, Chainguard, OpenTelemetry, AWS GovCloud.

🎯 Requirements

  • 5+ years of experience in backend, platform, or infrastructure engineering roles
  • Experience building platform or data infrastructure that other engineers depend on.
  • Depth across layers: data modeling and Postgres internals, Kubernetes in production, backend services in TypeScript or Python.
  • You've taken a system through real scale — a migration, a cost cliff, a throughput wall.
  • You've built and broken infrastructure to understand how it works, and you bring a security-first mindset to sensitive environments.
  • You use AI tools heavily in your own work and know where they're reliable.

🏖️ Benefits

  • Base Salary: $180,000 - $250,000
  • Equity: Meaningful stake in a well-funded, fast-growing startup
  • Benefits: medical, vision, and dental, unlimited PTO
  • Brooklyn Navy Yard office, 3+ days a week in person.
