Cloud Engineer

We’re looking for a Cloud Engineer to join our growing engineering team. This role is designed for engineers who bring a broader technical perspective, take full ownership of their work, and drive measurable business impact.

You’ll be working on large-scale, production-grade systems, improving performance, reliability, and scalability while collaborating with cross-functional teams to deliver complex products that serve millions of users.

What You Will Do

• Design, build, and operate scalable, resilient, and high-performance cloud-based systems.

• Own projects from conception to delivery, demonstrating strong engineering judgment and accountability.

• Troubleshoot and resolve production issues, outages, and complex distributed system failures.

• Ship large and technically complex projects, providing clear explanations of design decisions, constraints, and architecture.

• Work on systems that support large-scale user bases (1M+ users).

• Continuously improve engineering and business metrics through measurable technical contributions.

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to identify opportunities and deliver meaningful business value.

• Contribute to or initiate technical improvements, automation, and tooling for operational excellence.

• Demonstrate ongoing learning, exploring new technologies, and challenging assumptions.

What We’re Looking For:

Technical Breadth

• Exposure to a wide variety of technologies beyond only Node.js or JavaScript frameworks.

• Ability to work across multiple layers of the stack and multiple languages.

Production-Ready Experience

• Experience operating real systems in production.

• First-hand handling of outages, critical bugs, incidents, and distributed systems misbehavior.

Proven Delivery of Complex Projects

• Demonstrated ability to design and ship large, complex engineering projects.

Scalability & High-Traffic Systems

• Experience engineering for systems with millions of users or large-scale traffic.

Ownership Mindset

• Understands and can explain the difference between a coder and an engineer.

• Takes full responsibility—from ideation to deployment—and pushes projects forward independently.

Business Impact

• Has improved business or engineering metrics in measurable ways (performance, reliability, cost efficiency, etc.).

• Focuses on delivering business value, not just features.

Academic Foundation

• Bachelor’s degree or higher in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or another STEM discipline.

Community & Curiosity

• Contributions to open-source projects or meaningful personal technical projects.

• Constant desire to learn; understands that mastery is ongoing.

Nice to have:

• Experience with diverse cloud ecosystems and tools (AWS, GCP, etc.).

• Background in systems programming, functional programming (e.g., Haskell), or low-level engineering.

• Strong architectural thinking with real evidence to back it up.

• Demonstrated experience improving system performance, reliability, scalability, or cost.

• Proven impact on business or engineering metrics (e.g., reducing latency, improving uptime, increasing deployment speed).

• Experience with multiple cloud environments (AWS, GCP, Azure, etc.) and modern infrastructure tools (Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform).

• Exposure to backend languages beyond JavaScript/Node.js — e.g., Go, Rust, Python, or functional languages like Haskell.

• Experience designing reliable distributed systems.
