This position is based onsite in our San Francisco office. In this role, you will be pivotal in elevating our infrastructure, with a specialized focus on maximizing system performance and revolutionizing our observability by integrating AI. You will be joining a high-performance engineering culture that aggressively leverages AI to build a self-improving platform that multiplies developer productivity and accelerates delivery.

• Spearhead system performance improvements, optimizing resource utilization, reducing latency, and ensuring high availability across our AWS environment.

• Level up our observability story, designing and implementing comprehensive monitoring, logging, and tracing frameworks.

• Introduce and integrate AI into our observability stack (AIOps) to enable predictive alerting, automated anomaly detection, and smarter, faster incident response.

• Leverage AI coding assistants and autonomous agents to accelerate Infrastructure as Code (IaC) development, streamline automation scripting, and rapidly debug complex infrastructure issues.

• Use your expertise to improve overall infrastructure quality, developer tooling, and CI/CD processes.

• Collaborate tightly with our backend (Ruby on Rails) and frontend (React) teams to streamline deployments and operations.

• Work with the compliance team to ensure our infrastructure maintains strict SOC2, GDPR, and CCPA compliance.

• Deep understanding of Linux and networking, coupled with strong troubleshooting skills.

• Proven hands-on expertise with Terraform, AWS, and Git.

• Experience with modern observability and monitoring tools (e.g., Datadog, Prometheus, Grafana), alongside a strong interest or background in applying AI/machine learning to operational data.

• A proven track record of identifying bottlenecks and successfully improving system performance at scale.

• Proficiency or strong eagerness to utilize AI-driven development tools (e.g., Claude Code, Cursor, or similar agents) to boost your own productivity and optimize infrastructure engineering workflows.

• Familiarity with GitHub Actions and Terraform Cloud is a plus.

• Demonstrated ownership: you take responsibility for problems end-to-end and drive them to resolution without waiting to be told.

• Excellent English communication skills, both verbal and written.

• A highly collaborative mindset; you enjoy working in a team and helping your peers succeed.

• Knowledge of backend systems/frameworks like Ruby on Rails or Django is a strong plus.
