Senior Infrastructure / DX Engineer – Platform (all genders)

YOUR SKILLS AND QUALIFICATIONS

• Strong, hands-on cloud engineering experience on AWS at organisational scale: multi-account setups, identity and access, networking, and account-level guardrails. Serverless is our default but we want someone who can pick the right tool for each problem.
• A security-first instinct: least privilege, secrets management, and treating patching and vulnerability remediation as routine work.
• Deep, hands-on experience with infrastructure as code. You have built and maintained real production estates in Terraform, or a close equivalent, and you are comfortable owning delivery pipelines on AWS.
• TypeScript on Node.js as your primary application language, or a deliberate and recent move to it. Python is a welcome secondary. Go or Rust are useful for performance-critical components.
• A track record of building or choosing internal tooling that lets other engineers work faster, with the judgement to adopt an existing solution when one fits rather than build from scratch.
• Delivery experience in both lean startup settings and larger organisations, with ownership from start to finish. You scope a sensible first version and build on it.
• Coding agents are part of your daily workflow, and you check their output before you rely on it. You are neither dismissive of them nor careless with them.

NICE TO HAVE

• Experience with monorepo build systems and shared tooling.
• Previous cloud-migration work.
• A track record of building internal command-line tools or code generators.
• Public technical work, such as open-source contributions or writing.

WAYS OF WORKING

This is a hands-on individual-contributor role on a small platform team that works agent-first. It is remote and Berlin-friendly.
