Work type: onsite
Location: San Francisco, California | New York, New York
Salary: $130,000 – $250,000/yr
Type: Full-time
This role is designed for a **mid-level software engineer** who bridges the gap between traditional application development and high-scale cloud infrastructure. You should have a strong background in large-scale codebases and a "test-driven" mindset. While you need expertise in cloud networking and compute (specifically AWS and Cloudflare), this isn't a traditional sysadmin role—they are looking for a "builder" who can programmatically automate infrastructure and create self-service tools for other developers. The compensation is highly competitive ($130k – $250k) and offers a unique opportunity to shape the foundation for 100M+ users. Note the **work arrangement**: while tagged as remote, the description explicitly requires **in-office collaboration in San Francisco** on "Anchor Days" (Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday). This is a high-growth, high-accountability environment where you’ll lead incident responses and influence the long-term reliability of a product used by global giants like OpenAI. **You might be a good fit if you:** * Prefer writing code (TypeScript/Pulumi/Terraform) over manual configuration to solve infrastructure problems. * Thrive in "hyper-growth" environments where you must balance perfect engineering with business speed. * Are local to the SF Bay Area (or willing to relocate) for a 3-day weekly hybrid schedule. * Have experience managing cloud costs and capacity planning for massive user bases.
