Senior Software Engineer, Infrastructure

Responsibilities

• Set the technical direction for a major area of Engine's infrastructure over a multi-quarter horizon — where it's headed, what you're deliberately not building, and how platform investments compound rather than fragment.
• Lead multiple infra initiatives in parallel, coordinating across the central team and with the feature teams who'll adopt what you build.
• Design and ship the Terraform modules, pipeline patterns, and operational tooling that product teams adopt because they're better than the alternative — not because they're mandated.
• Separate signal from noise across the feature-team requests that land on the central team. Decide what deserves a paved road, what belongs in team-owned space, and what shouldn't be built at all.
• Own the boring-but-critical work: incident response, on-call quality, deployment reliability, vendor integration health.
• Shape the guidelines, tools, and methods every engineer at Engine uses — and coach the feature engineers who apply them.
• Represent the infra team in cross-functional conversations with product and engineering leadership. Our team meets twice a week — that's where you'll share what's shipping, align on priorities, and pressure-test decisions.
• Reduce the SDLC step-function count across Engine. Every approval gate, every "ask infra first" workflow is a tax — your job is to lower it.
