Founding Engineer, Infrastructure (Visa Sponsorship - San Francisco, United States)

Visa sponsorship available. This is an early-stage workforce technology company building an integration platform. You will be the first infrastructure hire and work directly with the founding team to design the systems that run customer integrations. You will take ownership of core infrastructure and help set the technical direction and team practices as the company grows.

What you'll do

• Build and run an isolated, durable runtime for integrations, including recovery and self-healing behavior.
• Create infrastructure that lets coding agents write, test, and deploy integration code into production.
• Design observability across integrations and agents, covering logs, metrics and distributed tracing.
• Deliver a single-tenant, self-hostable version of the product and own its production operations.
• Set engineering standards for future infrastructure hires and help grow the team.

What you need

• 3 to 9 years of professional software engineering experience, including at least 3 years at fast-moving, high-growth startups.
• Strong software engineering and cloud infrastructure background, with end-to-end ownership of a platform or infrastructure.
• Hands-on experience operating, scaling and debugging Kubernetes in production.
• Experience designing production observability across logs, metrics and tracing.
• Familiarity with AWS, Docker, TypeScript and PostgreSQL. Effective use of AI coding agents with sound production judgment.
• A completed or in-progress technical degree from a strong university. Prior startup or early-stage engineering experience is valuable; experience with self-hosted, single-tenant deployments is a plus.
