Infrastructure Engineer
About The Position
Varick helps companies doing billions in revenue transform how they operate with AI. We start by understanding how the work actually gets done, then build and deploy agent systems that handle entire process chains, from intake through execution to reporting. That means working inside real business operations: reconciling accounts, resolving invoice exceptions, and producing cash forecasts. These systems need to work reliably, and when something goes wrong, we need to understand what happened and be able to fix it. We’re looking for an engineer who cares about getting that foundation right.
Requirements
- Operated software that other people depended on.
- Experience investigating a production failure with incomplete information, making a careful fix, and addressing the underlying problem later.
- Understanding of databases, distributed systems, and production operations.
- Judgment about how much complexity a problem actually needs.
- Owned something in production that other people depended on, and were the one dealing with it when it broke.
- Keeps up with technology, tries new tools, forms opinions from using them, and rethinks how they work when they find something better.
- Changed someone’s mind about a technical decision with evidence, and had their own mind changed the same way.
- Demonstrates care, ownership, and an honest sense of priorities.
- Ability to get deep into a technical problem and still ask whether it’s the right problem to solve.
Responsibilities
- Own the infrastructure that lets our engineers build, deploy, and operate agents across customer environments.
- Work closely with the people shipping those systems, understand where they’re getting stuck, and build things that make their work easier.
- Make workflows reliable by addressing scheduling, retries, checkpointing, and recovery when a run fails halfway through.
- Make deployment straightforward by handling CI/CD, customer environments, secrets, and access controls.
- Keep the data layer working as the company grows, including schema design, query performance, and determining when alternative solutions are needed beyond Postgres.
- Develop logs and traces that allow for following a run across agents and external systems, investigating failures, or answering customer questions.
- Handle unreliable integrations with systems like NetSuite, Oracle, and Salesforce, accounting for their rate limits, partial failures, and availability.
- Operate what we build, including sharing on-call duties, responding to incidents, and implementing fixes to prevent recurrence.
- Decide what needs a shared solution, what can stay simple, and what isn’t worth building yet.
Benefits
- Meaningful equity in an early team.
- Will walk you through the grant and its terms so you understand what we’re offering.
