We’re hiring our first engineer fully dedicated to the infrastructure foundation of Sieve. This is a high-ownership role for someone who thinks deeply about:

throughput and system stability
monitoring and incident response
security and least-privilege design
reducing operational burden for the entire engineering team

You’ll work directly with our CTO and our founding engineers to build the core tooling that powers all of engineering.

This role is for someone who spends their time thinking deeply about reliability, throughput, observability, and security. You’re the kind of engineer who is always anticipating failure modes, eliminating operational risk, and designing systems that don’t break.

If something goes down, you take it personally, and you thrive in that level of responsibility.

What You’ll Do

Work with engineering to design and validate the infrastructure powering PB-scale workloads
Build and maintain Terraform-managed multi-cloud deployments
Improve cloud and data security (SSO, IAM, least privilege, auditability)
Own incident response and harden systems against failure
Develop CI/CD systems that minimize user error and maximize safety
Build monitoring + alerting platforms (Prometheus, OpenTelemetry, VictoriaMetrics)
Wrap internal reliability tooling with simple UIs for engineers

Requirements

3+ years building internal infrastructure at scale
Experience on-call for Sev 0 / Sev 1 production incidents (L3 preferred)
Strong cloud experience (GCP, AWS, Oracle, Cloudflare, etc.)
Deep Infrastructure-as-Code experience (Terraform preferred)
Familiarity with Argo, Helm, Kustomize, or similar deployment tools
Experience operating observability systems (Prometheus, OTel, VictoriaMetrics)
Backend fundamentals in Python, Go, Rust, or C++
Strong networking + security intuition, including SSO implementation
High ownership mindset over critical systems
In-person at our SF HQ

Bonus

Experience building lightweight internal tooling (APIs, dashboards, Svelte)
Familiarity with object storage systems (“buckets”)
Active GitHub or portfolio projects

Benefits

401k + Full Health Insurance
Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner covered and your choice of snacks
Ubers covered home
