Why this grade This listing scored 79/100, which is a B. It lost the most ground on remote clarity. See the breakdown
- Pay transparency 25 / 25 A published salary range, worth more than any other single factor because it is what a candidate cannot find out without applying.
- Description depth 20 / 20 How much the posting actually says about the work, measured in characters of real text.
- Freshness 15 / 15 How recently it was posted. Older postings are likelier to be filled or abandoned.
- Remote clarity 8 / 15 Whether "remote" means anywhere, or is quietly restricted to one country.
- Role specificity 6 / 10 Whether the listing is tagged well enough to tell what the role actually is.
- Corroboration 5 / 10 Whether more than one source carries this listing.
Every figure above is arithmetic over the posting itself — its salary field, its text, its age, its tags and how many sources carry it. How the grades work →

- Build and maintain cloud infrastructure and deployment systems.
- Improve CI/CD, developer tooling, and local development environments.
- Own observability across metrics, alerting, logging, and distributed tracing.
- Improve platform reliability, performance, and security.
- Build infrastructure-as-code and automation to make systems easier to operate and scale.
- Partner with product and engineering teams on architecture and technical decisions.
- Take broad ownership of platform initiatives from design through production.
What We're Looking For
- 5+ years of experience in platform, infrastructure, backend, or distributed systems engineering.
- Strong production experience with Go.
- Deep experience with Kubernetes and containerized production environments.
- Strong cloud infrastructure experience with GCP, AWS, or Azure.
- Experience with Terraform or other infrastructure-as-code tooling.
- Strong understanding of distributed systems, networking, storage, and production reliability.
- Experience building or operating production data pipelines.
- Hands-on experience with CI/CD and observability systems.
- Strong software engineering and system-design fundamentals.
- High ownership and ability to operate independently in an early-stage environment.
Strong Plus
- Experience building internal developer platforms or infrastructure used by other engineers.
- PostgreSQL or other production database experience.
- Security-focused infrastructure experience.
- Authentication, authorization, or access-control systems.
- Experience operating highly available enterprise software.
- Experience joining an early-stage startup and building foundational infrastructure from scratch.
