Bringing modern deployment and observability directly into regulated customer clouds.

Founding Engineer

New YorkOn-site$200K - $250K1+ years
We're building the control plane that lets software teams deploy, operate, and observe applications inside their own cloud accounts—no shared infrastructure, no blind handoffs. As a founding engineer, you'll shape the architecture from its earliest decisions: how we orchestrate across AWS, GCP, and Azure, how we model multi-tenant state in PostgreSQL, and how we surface real-time telemetry in a React frontend that operators actually trust. This is a hands-on, on-site role in New York where your code runs in defense networks, hospital systems, and factory floors—environments that don't forgive downtime.

What they're looking for

  • Strong fluency in Go or TypeScript, with a clear point of view on when to use each
  • Hands-on experience with Kubernetes and at least one major cloud provider (AWS, GCP, or Azure)
  • Comfort owning infrastructure-as-code (Terraform) and reasoning about container lifecycles in Docker
  • Track record of building and shipping production backend systems, ideally in small-team settings
  • Willingness to work on-site in New York and collaborate directly with early design partners
