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.
