IN SCHOOL OR GRADUATED WITHIN THE LAST 12 MONTHS? PLEASE VISIT FUTURE FORCE FOR OPPORTUNITIES

Join a high-ownership, high-velocity engineering team working at the frontier of AI and modern software development. We operate with the pace of a startup backed by the scale and stability of a global enterprise — with true end-to-end ownership across architecture, implementation, deployment, and continuous improvement.

You'll work alongside a high-talent-density team that cares deeply about performance, reliability, and engineering excellence — driving architecture decisions, solving large-scale distributed systems challenges, and building foundational infrastructure that enables great customer experiences.

As a Software Engineer on the Foundations team, you'll build the infrastructure and critical systems that power our operations — highly scalable cloud infrastructure, robust CI/CD pipelines, advanced observability, and top-tier engineering tools. Your work will increase deployment velocity, raise our quality bar, and support complex, real-time customer interactions.

What You'll Actually Be Doing


 
  • Architect & Build: Lead the design and implementation of secure, fault-tolerant, and highly available cloud infrastructure on public cloud services.
  • System Optimization: Continuously improve system performance, identify bottlenecks, and deploy optimizations for smooth operation at scale for highly-trafficked services.
  • CI/CD Evolution: Lead the evolution of our Continuous Integration and Deployment pipelines in a multi-service environment, reducing complexity and increasing resilience.
  • Infrastructure Management: Plan and execute timely infrastructure upgrades and changes using infrastructure-as-code to enable faster execution, improved scale, and increased cost efficiency.
  • Observability: Leverage tools like DataDog, Sentry, and others to monitor system infrastructure, configure alerts for anomalies, and proactively ensure system health.
  • Documentation & Standards: Define, promote, and maintain runbooks, operating procedures, and system architecture diagrams. Uphold high standards of quality through rigorous testing and code reviews.
  • Mentorship: Act as a force multiplier by providing technical guidance, mentoring other engineers, and fostering a culture of engineering excellence.
  • Agility: Embrace a culture of flexibility and efficiency, moving fast to capture opportunities while wearing multiple hats in a startup environment


You're Our Person If...


 
  • Experience: 5+ years of experience in professional software development with a strong emphasis on backend systems, cloud platforms, and infrastructure.
  • Languages: Proficiency in programming languages such as Go, Python, Typescript, or Ruby.
  • Cloud & Infrastructure: Deep experience architecting secure solutions on cloud-based infrastructure (e.g., AWS, Google Cloud, or Azure).
  • Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Proven experience in automated provisioning using tools like Terraform, CDK, CloudFormation, or Pulumi.
  • Containerization: Experience with automated deployments using container orchestration technologies such as Kubernetes, AWS ECS, or Docker.
  • Observability Tools: Strong hands-on experience with monitoring and logging tools such as DataDog, Prometheus, Grafana, or ELK.
  • Database Expertise: Familiarity with SQL, RDBMS (PostgreSQL preferred), and data warehousing solutions (e.g., ClickHouse)
  • AI-Assisted Development: Proficiency in AI-assisted software development (e.g., Claude, Cursor, etc.); you are capable of leveraging these tools to significantly accelerate your output from day one.
  • Education: B.S. or Master's degree in Computer Science, or equivalent work experience.
