Responsibilities
Build platforms that scale : Design and operate foundational infrastructure—Kubernetes clusters, Kafka streaming platforms, Spark batch processing, observability systems—that handle billions of events and enable Metronome to grow with minimal friction
Enable product velocity : Create golden paths, abstractions, and tooling that let engineers ship faster and more reliably without becoming infrastructure experts themselves
Enable reliability as the product : Take accountability for system uptime, performance, and correctness. Build monitoring, alerting, and incident response systems that enable the entire team catch problems before customers notice
Drive technical direction : Shape Metronome's infrastructure strategy, make platform-level architectural decisions, and mentor engineers across the organization
Multiply engineering effectiveness : Every tool you build, every deployment pipeline you improve, every observability gap you close makes dozens of engineers more productive. Your infrastructure decisions directly impact what and how fast the company can ship
Power mission-critical workloads : Our infrastructure processes financial data for companies like Confluent, OpenAI and Anthropic—where accuracy, performance, and reliability aren't nice-to-haves, they're requirements. You'll build systems where correctness matters and downtime has real consequences
Shape how we scale : You'll have a real voice in how we architect systems to handle 10x growth, which technologies we bet on, and how we build a world-class infrastructure organization
Qualification
Required
5+ years building infrastructure systems: Hands-on experience with distributed systems, cloud infrastructure, container orchestration, data pipelines, observability, CI/CD, or other foundational platforms
Ownership of production systems: Track record of operating mission-critical infrastructure with strong focus on reliability, scalability, and performance
Force multiplier mindset: You build platforms that enable others. You create abstractions that make complex systems approachable. You think about developer experience as a first-class concern
Cross-functional collaboration: You partner effectively with product teams, communicate technical decisions clearly, and mentor engineers across experience levels
