Infrastructure Engineer
About The Position
The company is building the infrastructure foundation powering the next generation of software companies. Its platform provides critical enterprise infrastructure, authentication, and identity solutions used by some of the world's most innovative technology companies including OpenAI, Perplexity, Vercel, Cursor, and Plaid. Backed by leading investors with more than $100M raised and a valuation exceeding $2B, the company combines the resources of a well-funded growth-stage startup with the ownership, speed, and technical depth of a smaller engineering organization. As an Infrastructure Engineer, you'll join a highly collaborative Foundations team responsible for building and scaling the distributed systems, cloud infrastructure, developer tooling, and reliability foundations that power the company's platform. This is an exceptional opportunity to join a senior-level infrastructure team where engineers have full ownership, work directly with product engineering teams, and solve complex distributed systems challenges at meaningful scale.
