Senior/Staff Infrastructure Engineer

As our first infrastructure engineer at Privy, you will help define what it means to write and deploy code to tens of millions of users across thousands of customers, all on a rapidly growing engineering team.

As a team that builds for other developers, we believe engineering and product are inextricably connected.

Above all, we are building a company together to ship products that users love.

• Manage and architect multi-tenant infrastructure that serves billions of requests every month

• Design our build and deploy systems across the stack, from SDKs to apps to high-traffic APIs to complex secure enclaves, and more – all for a team that ships daily

• Drive observability across our product and help keep our systems up and performant in our role in the most critical parts of our customers' stacks

• Advocate for making the right technical investments at the right time in a company with ever-evolving technical needs

What we're looking for

• Knowledge of Typescript or Python, Terraform or similar, Cloudflare, and AWS infrastructure

• Experience in building highly available production systems

• An understanding of modern web and API development best practices

• Experience building delightfully simple developer experiences

• 4+ years of experience

Bonus points if you have...

• An ability to quickly learn new skills and take on new challenges

• Experience at rapidly growing startups and the flexibility it requires

• Excitement about authentication, security, or in web3

• An understanding of EC2 Nitro Enclaves and ASGs/Kubernetes
