Job description

We're building the kind of platform we always wanted to use : fast, flexible, and built for making sense of real-world complexity. Behind the scenes is a robust, event-driven architecture that connects systems, abstracts messy workflows, and leaves room for smart automation. The surface is clean and simple. The interactions are seamless and intuitive. The machinery underneath is anything but. Thats where you come in.

Were a well-networked founding team with strong execution roots and a clear roadmap. Were backed, focused, and delivering fast.

Were looking for a Senior Platform Engineer to join early someone who knows what production ready really means, and whos excited to build the infrastructure, observability, and tooling that power everything else.

Youll work closely with our engineers and CTO to design and evolve the foundation of our systems from GCP Terraform modules to Databricks pipelines and deployment flows.

This is a clean-slate environment : no legacy, no gatekeeping, just impact. You have strong opinions? We want to hear them.

???? What Youll Do
Own and evolve our Terraform-based GCP stack provisioning services, networking, and secrets
Design and operate CI / CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Cloud Build) to keep deploys fast and safe
Implement and maintain observability (metrics, logs, traces, alerts) with tools like DataDog or OpenTelemetry
Partner with backend engineers to define service boundaries, infrastructure modules, and deployment patterns
Help shape Databricks and Unity Catalog infrastructure, including workspace automation and secrets management
Build internal developer tooling that makes local development and preview environments smooth and repeatable
Be a multiplier : improve our developer experience , not just uptime
Infra : Terraform, GCP (Cloud Run, Pub / Sub, GKE, CloudSQL, Secrets Manager)
CI / CD : GitHub Actions, Cloud Build
Runtime : Python (Sanic + async services), Postgres, Databricks, event-driven pipelines
Everything as code : infrastructure, schema, pipelines

Youll have a strong hand in choosing how we monitor, alert, and observe.

Engineers come first : your time, focus, and judgment are respected

Deep work >

chaos : fixed cycles & cooldowns protect focus and keep context switching low

Autonomy is the default : trusted builders who own outcomes, no babysitters

Ship daily, safely : merge early, integrate vertically, ship often, use feature flags, and keep momentum

Outcomes over optics : solve real problems, not ticket soup

Voice matters : from week one, contribute, improve something, and shape how we build

Senior peers, no ego : collaborate in a high-trust, async-friendly environment

Bold problems, cool tech : work on complex challenges that actually move the needle

Fun is part of it : we move fast, but we also celebrate wins and laugh together

? What Were Looking For

68 years of experience in DevOps, Platform, or SRE-type roles

Expert-level Terraform and strong command of GCP primitives

Proven ability to own CI / CD pipelines and production deployment workflows

Hands-on familiarity with Python services, especially async backends

Practical knowledge of observability, security, and IaC best practices

Startup-ready mindset : pragmatic, lean, self-directed, allergic to bureaucracy

Confident English communication for cross-hub collaboration

Have run DataDog, Prometheus, Grafana, or OpenTelemetry in production

Built ephemeral or preview environments for dev / test

Automated Databricks or Unity Catalog workspace provisioning

Designed internal CLI tools or DX improvements

Survived (and learned from) a real-world incident or outage

Must be based in San Francisco, Las Vegas, or Tel Aviv

Full-time role with competitive comp

Flexible hours, async-friendly culture, engineering-led environment

Hybrid (Tel Aviv-Yafo, Tel Aviv District, IL)
