Founding Platform Engineer

Own the platform that 30 verticals run on — Cloud Run, Cloud SQL, Cloud Tasks, Redis, GCS, observability, CI/CD, security. Keep everything fast, safe, and zero-downtime.

What you'll do

  • Operate the production stack on GCP across all verticals
  • Run zero-downtime deploys via Cloud Build + Artifact Registry
  • Build the observability spine: metrics, traces, logs, alerts, SLOs
  • Own security posture: IAM, VPC, secret rotation, pen-test remediation
  • Make the platform a product — paved roads, golden paths, fast onboarding

What you bring

  • 4+ years platform / SRE / infra engineering in production
  • Deep GCP fluency (or AWS at the equivalent level — willing to switch)
  • Strong with IaC, Docker, CI/CD, and on-call instincts
  • Comfort writing TypeScript and Python when the platform meets the app

Nice to have

  • Has run a multi-tenant platform with strict isolation
  • Built developer-experience tooling that other engineers love
  • Comfort with cost engineering across cloud + AI inference

Compensation

Founding-level equity plus competitive cash. Calibrated on first call.
