SDE 2 - Infrastructure Engineering

Description
Why this team exists
We run a growing portfolio of consumer businesses — Seekho at scale, alongside several younger products still finding their shape. The reason to build them under one roof is leverage: a new product should launch with login, payments, and notifications already working, and spend its first year on the thing only they can build.
What You'll Do
Build the platform from zero-to-one. Design and ship the IDP — self-service provisioning, paved roads, templates, and golden paths — so product engineers can go from idea to production without filing tickets or waiting on you.
Lead modernization and transformation as we scale: untangle the early scrappy infra, re-platform what's holding us back, and consolidate tooling before it sprawls.
Own the full stack of platform concerns end to end — infrastructure, networking, security, runtime, observability, reliability, and scalability. At our size you'll touch all of it, often the same week.
Treat the platform as a product. Your customers are our engineers. Talk to them, find the friction, prioritize ruthlessly, ship, measure adoption, repeat.
Be security-first and cost-obsessed from day one. Build guardrails, policy-as-code, and least-privilege defaults in early — and keep our cloud bill honest. Cost efficiency is a feature, not an afterthought.
Lead architecture decisions for the org: write the design docs, make the calls, and bring the team along. You set the engineering bar through example and mentorship.
Stay hands-on. This is a coding role. You'll be in the codebase, not just the roadmap.
Requirements
Must Have:
You've built platforms before — actually designed and shipped developer-facing or internal platforms that teams adopted, not just operated someone else's infra.
Deep, first-principles understanding of infrastructure, networking, security, runtime, observability, reliability, and scalability — across the board, not one narrow lane.
Hands-on experience with infrastructure modernization and transformation work.
A real platform-as-a-product mindset — you've defined golden paths and self-service capabilities driven by what users actually need.
Security-first and cost-conscious instincts baked into how you build.
You can lead architectural initiatives end to end — propose, align, deliver, own the outcome.
Strong coding ability in Python, Java, or Go.
Comfortable with ambiguity, scope, and the pace of an early-stage team — you'd rather ship and iterate than wait for perfect.
