Cloud Migration Engineer

You are the engineer clients trust to move their infrastructure to GCP without drama. No data loss, no unplanned downtime, no surprises. You've done this before at production depth — not as a supporting player, but as the person who owned the outcome.Half your work is technical: designing the migration architecture, writing the Terraform that makes it repeatable, and executing the cutover with the discipline that comes from having seen what goes wrong. The other half is client-facing: translating messy real-world infrastructure (legacy systems, undocumented dependencies, nervous stakeholders) into a migration plan that the client can understand and the build team can execute.You use AI to work more efficiently. You don't use it as a substitute for knowing what you're doing. You will sit in our headquarters in Dallas, TX on a hybrid schedule. The team is in office on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. 

What experience should you have:

• 8-12 years of cloud engineering experience, with a track record of owning GCP migrations end to end at production depth.
• Proven success migrating production workloads to GCP with no data loss and no unplanned downtime. You can walk us through a migration you owned, what went wrong, and how you handled it.
• Strong Terraform expertise: you write infrastructure as code by default, not as an afterthought.
• Multi-cloud fluency: you understand the source environments clients are migrating from and can map their architecture to GCP equivalents without starting from scratch.
• Consulting or client-facing experience: you can lead a room, manage expectations, and communicate technical risk to people who don't want to hear it.
• Clear, direct written communication: migration plans, runbooks, and handoff docs that someone else can actually use.

Nice to have

• GCP Professional certifications (Cloud Architect, Data Engineer, or equivalent).
• Experience with containerized workloads: GKE, Cloud Run, or equivalent.
• Familiarity with data migration tooling: Database Migration Service, Datastream, Transfer Service.
• Exposure to compliance requirements in migration contexts: data residency, encryption in transit and at rest, audit logging.
• Experience with CI/CD pipeline migration and modernization.

What you’ll be doing in this role:

• Migration architecture and planning: assessing client environments, mapping dependencies, designing the target GCP architecture, and producing a phased migration plan that accounts for real operational constraints.
• Infrastructure as code: writing and maintaining Terraform configurations that make every migration repeatable, auditable, and reversible where it needs to be.
• The cutover: owning the execution of production migrations with zero data loss and no unplanned downtime. You've done this enough times to know where it goes wrong and how to prevent it.
• Client communication: running technical discovery sessions, presenting migration plans to non-technical stakeholders, and keeping clients informed at every phase without burying them in detail.
• Post-migration validation: performance baselines, monitoring setup, and the handoff documentation that means the client isn't dependent on you forever.

Our total rewards program is designed for your protection, peace of mind, and overall well-being. In addition to our outstanding basics, we offer a net-zero cost medical option, company contributions to your HSA, fertility support, fully-paid parental leave, a monthly stipend for your lifestyle spending account, and much more.

Solution Architect

You are the architectural conscience of the platform and the technical translator at the front of every client engagement. Half your week is inside the product — reviewing ADRs, holding integration patterns coherent, and partnering with the data architect and senior dev to keep the architecture honest. The other half is in front of clients — taking real operational complexity and turning it into platform configurations the system can actually execute. You are not a slide architect. You write decisions down, defend them with reasons, and change them when the reasons change. This role only works if you genuinely enjoy both sides. The leverage is in the loop between them — what we learn in deployments shapes the platform, and what the platform enforces shapes how we deploy. You will sit in our headquarters in Dallas, TX on a hybrid schedule. The team is in office on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. 

What experience should you have:

• 10+ years of software engineering experience, with at least 4 explicitly accountable for system architecture — Principal Engineer, Staff Engineer, Solution Architect, or equivalent.
• Production experience with multi-tenant SaaS at meaningful scale. You have personally owned tenant isolation decisions and understand the difference between "we have a tenant_id column" and a defensible isolation model.
• Deep experience with event-driven or event-sourced systems in production. You have opinions about idempotency, schema evolution, and the cost of getting either wrong.
• Working fluency in the modern TypeScript/Node ecosystem (NestJS, Next.js, Drizzle, Zod, Postgres, Kafka/Redpanda, Temporal or comparable). You can read the codebase, make changes when it matters, and produce durable architecture artifacts — ADRs, RFCs, decision documents — that someone six months from now can act on.
• Direct experience leading rooms of senior client or executive stakeholders — consulting, enterprise customer engineering, field architecture, or technical pre-sales. You can translate "the engagement is slipping" into a technical control loop and back again.

Nice to have: 

• Background in professional services, agency operations, or management consulting — you understand engagement economics from the inside.
• Observability experience (OpenTelemetry, distributed tracing) at a depth that lets you design for it, not just consume it.
• Architecture decisions on AI-native or LLM-integrated systems — model gateways, agent orchestration, prompt versioning, or evaluation pipelines.
• Experience in compliance-conscious environments (SOC 2, HIPAA, GDPR) where audit trails and data residency are first-class concerns.
• Public writing, conference talks, or open-source contributions that show how you think.

What you’ll be doing in this role:

• Own the architectural coherence of the platform, ADR backlog, architecture reviews, system shape diagrams, the canonical event envelope, the tenant isolation model. You hold the line on invariants and write down why.
• Define integration patterns for every external system, identity providers, CRMs, project tools, communication systems, AI providers. You decide how we connect, not just whether.
• Build and own client deployment patterns, repeatable playbooks from "first connector" to "first signal" to "first governed action." You author them, run the first few personally, and abstract them into reusable configurations as you go.
• Lead pre-deployment architecture sessions with client technical teams, translating their identity infrastructure, data model, permissions, and compliance posture into a deployment plan the build team can execute.
• Carry the technical narrative externally. You can sit across from a client CTO, walk them through the architecture, defend it under pressure, and adjust where the pressure is legitimate.
• Mentor the founding engineering team on architectural reasoning, not by lecturing, but by showing your work in ADRs, reviews, and the way you make trade-offs visible.

You should not apply if:

• You want to architect from a whiteboard and hand off to others. We write code, we read code, and we ship.
• Client conversations drain you. Half this job is in front of people who don't speak fluent engineering.
• You need consensus before deciding. We move with strong opinions, loosely held — emphasis on strong.

Our total rewards program is designed for your protection, peace of mind, and overall well-being. In addition to our outstanding basics, we offer a net-zero cost medical option, company contributions to your HSA, fertility support, fully-paid parental leave, a monthly stipend for your lifestyle spending account, and much more.
