About the Role
Join an early-stage B2B SaaS company as a Senior Platform Software Engineer. You will own cloud infrastructure, deployment systems, and reliability for a high-traffic platform, helping the team make sound architecture decisions and ship with confidence.
What You'll Do
Architect, deploy, and operate AWS infrastructure across compute, messaging, storage, networking, and observability.
Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines that automate deployments from commit through production.
Manage production PostgreSQL, including configuration, performance tuning, migrations, and backup strategies.
Balance delivery speed with investment in foundational system quality.
Work with stakeholders and product teams to shape architecture and technical direction.
Explore AI-assisted development tools and integrate them into build and deployment workflows.
Diagnose complex distributed-systems issues and deliver pragmatic solutions for high-availability services.
What We're Looking For
At least 5 years of professional software engineering experience, including operating high-traffic, high-availability systems at scale.
Deep, hands-on experience running production infrastructure on AWS and managing infrastructure as code with Terraform or a similar tool.
Production PostgreSQL expertise, including connection pooling, migrations, performance optimization, and backup and restore.
Experience building or maintaining production CI/CD pipelines and working with distributed-systems concepts such as ordering guarantees, idempotency, retries, at-least-once delivery, and partial-failure recovery.
Ability to read and understand TypeScript and Node.js application code, including NestJS codebases.
Experience with AI-assisted development workflows, such as agentic coding tools, multi-agent setups, or MCP servers, alongside the independent technical judgment to debug and reason about architecture.
Strong problem-solving, communication, collaboration, and ownership skills.

Competitive salary and employee stock options. Visa sponsorship is not available.
Location
Remote within Europe, with residence within three hours of Central European Time.
