The role
Raydar is recruiting for this role on behalf of our client. Lead infrastructure and reliability efforts as a hands-on software engineer, strengthening security and scaling cloud systems for rapid growth. Own the reliability practice and set technical direction for infrastructure across the engineering organization.
What you'll do
- Build out security infrastructure early on to support customers with demanding compliance needs.
- Redesign cloud, container orchestration and infrastructure-as-code architecture to handle significant growth in usage and data volume.
- Take ownership of reliability and observability, including service level objectives, alerting, incident response and postmortems.
- Write production-quality code and automation that reduces repetitive manual work and operational risk.
- Work closely with engineering leadership and a small platform team to set infrastructure direction.
Requirements
What we're looking for
- Background as a software engineer who moved into platform or infrastructure work; SRE or DevOps experience is fine if it centered on building rather than maintaining.

- Experience managing Kubernetes environments ranging from a few to a couple hundred clusters.
- Track record of building and scaling infrastructure from zero to one or from one to ten.
- Working knowledge of information security.
- Experience at a high-growth startup.
- Ability to work on-site in New York 4 to 5 days a week.
Bonus points

- Exposure to monitoring and telemetry tooling for keeping services healthy.
- Familiarity with AWS.
