Staff Software Engineer – Infrastructure

About [Company]

We are building the future of payroll. Payroll is a universal operation that affects everyone, yet it is a slow, error-prone, and painful process for businesses. Our mission is to make paying people simple.

We’re building a world-class platform to handle all aspects of payroll, from calculating wages and taxes, to filing with tax agencies, to remitting funds. Our customers are platforms that want to embed payroll into their own products and services. We are an API-first company, enabling businesses to programmatically manage their payroll operations.

The Role

As Staff Software Engineer on the Infrastructure team, you’ll work with the rest of the Infrastructure team to build and maintain the foundational platform that enables engineers to build and deliver new products quickly, reliably, and securely.

What you’ll do

  • Build and maintain foundational infrastructure, using technologies like AWS, Terraform, Kubernetes, and Datadog.
  • Participate in the on-call rotation for the infrastructure platform.
  • Collaborate with other engineering teams to design and implement robust, scalable, and secure systems.
  • Drive continuous improvement in our infrastructure, tooling, and processes.
  • Mentor junior engineers and contribute to a culture of technical excellence and collaboration.
  • Work with leadership to define and execute on the infrastructure roadmap.

What we’re looking for

  • 8+ years of experience as a software engineer, with a focus on infrastructure, distributed systems, or platform engineering.
  • Strong experience with cloud platforms (e.g., AWS, GCP, Azure), containerization technologies (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes), and infrastructure-as-code tools (e.e., Terraform, CloudFormation).
  • Proficiency in at least one backend programming language (e.g., Go, Python, Java, Ruby).
  • Experience with monitoring, logging, and alerting systems (e.g., Datadog, Prometheus, Grafana, ELK stack).
  • Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and DevOps best practices.
  • Excellent communication, collaboration, and problem-solving skills.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, a related field, or equivalent practical experience.

Benefits

  • Health, dental, and vision insurance for you and your dependents
  • Unlimited PTO, with a minimum of 3 weeks per year
  • Paid parental leave
  • 401k with employer match
  • Generous home office stipend
  • Wellness stipend
