Founding Platform Engineer

💡 Mission

The U.S. system for managing complex, time-sensitive processes is often inefficient and confusing. People shouldn’t need to sift through layers of bureaucracy or technical complexity to get the support they need. This team is building a platform designed to simplify and streamline these experiences for millions.

We’re a well‑funded, early‑stage startup led by an experienced operator from a major technology company. Backed by top‑tier founders and investors, we’ve raised $17M and are resourced to continue building for several years.

We’re seeking a Senior/Staff‑level Infrastructure & Platform Engineer to help scale our core systems and internal developer experience. You’ll play a key role in building reliable infrastructure, improving engineering workflows, and ensuring strong security and compliance foundations.

• Expose and configure internal API and MCP access to support engineering and operations
• Improve efficiency, cost‑control, and security across infrastructure interactions

• Optimize a large Type Script monorepo and Nx build system
• Migrate tooling from Common
  
  JS to ESM
• Enhance Dev Containers and Docker‑based workflows

• Improve Git Hub Actions pipelines with faster runners and better caching
• Manage multi‑environment deployments using Pulumi

• Maintain AWS services including ECS, Aurora RDS, VPC networking, and observability stack
• Manage access provisioning and environment configuration

• Support initiatives around data protection, RBAC, encryption, and monitoring
• Establish and enforce device management and SaaS security standards

• Enhance performance monitoring across web and mobile
• Reduce on‑call load and improve alerting/visibility

• Implement role‑based access policies
• Support user and admin management across internal tools

• 5–10+ years in Dev Ops, infrastructure, or platform engineering
• Strong understanding of SOC2, compliance, and security best practices
• Ability to build scalable automation rather than relying solely on configuration
• Experience with MDM tools, SaaS admin, and modern cloud‑native environments
• Comfort working autonomously in a fast‑paced environment
• Clear, concise communication skills
• Mission‑driven mindset and excitement for solving complex systems problems
