🎯 The Role

You will be responsible for designing and operating a mini cloud platform for integration runtime, building and scaling the agent infrastructure, and owning the full observability pipeline.

• Set the architectural patterns and standards for all future infrastructure work.
• Partner directly with the founders, ship to production constantly, and help hire the team around you.

📌 Required Qualifications

• 3 or more years of experience in infrastructure or platform engineering, ideally at a high-growth startup.
• Hands-on experience designing and implementing observability pipelines for production systems (logs, metrics, distributed tracing).
• Comfort with Kubernetes, Docker, AWS, TypeScript, and PostgreSQL.
• Proven ability to operate effectively in fast-moving, ambiguous, under-resourced environments.
• Interest in growing into a leadership role within 12 months.

⭐ Desirable Experience
