Senior Platform Engineer

You've owned production infrastructure at a startup or small team and liked the breadth of it

You're comfortable being the person who understands how things actually work, end to end

You can go deep on a TypeScript-heavy stack — and you like that our infra is written in TypeScript too

You've run real services on a cloud provider (we're on GCP) and understand the trade-offs between serverless and long-lived VMs

You make decisions and communicate them clearly without waiting to be told what to do

You'd rather collaborate to the right answer than win the argument, and you operate with a high level of kindness

Depth in GCP specifically — Cloud Run, Compute Engine, Pub/Sub, Cloud SQL, GCS, Secret Manager, Artifact Registry

Experience with Pulumi (or IaC in a real programming language rather than HCL)

Multi-region deployment, autoscaling, and rolling-update experience

A track record of building internal developer tooling that makes a team faster

Comfort across polyglot persistence — we run MongoDB as our primary store alongside purpose-specific PostgreSQL databases (including pgvector)

An in-house-first instinct — we build our own clients and tooling and work hard to reduce external dependencies

A background in developer tools or APIs, and familiarity with OpenAPI

Remote. Most of the team overlaps with US time zones (PT–ET), and we prefer candidates in the US or Western Canada for that overlap. If you're a strong fit in a European time zone and can make the overlap work, apply anyway and say so.

We're fully remote and offer flexible, unlimited time off. We believe prioritizing the team's well-being makes the work better and more meaningful.

While the role will involve a significant portion of backend service management, the candidate will also be expected to contribute to the frontend and may be asked to lead the development of new features in either space.

We are a small team of 10 developers and wear many hats. We expect everyone to pitch in and help out where needed.

We are open to both fixed-term contract and full-time permanent positions. Compensation Range: $150-250k (CAD)/$105-180 (USD) based on experience
