  • Fluency with infrastructure as code (Terraform) and CI/CD
  • Experience with API-driven engineering for endpoint and fleet management
  • A platform-as-a-product mindset with experience building self-service tooling

Nice to have

Worth weighing

  • This role is a founding position with no existing team or backlog, which may require a high level of initiative and adaptability.
  • The salary range is provided, but individual pay will depend on various factors, which may lead to variability in compensation.
  • The role emphasizes building from scratch, which may not suit everyone, especially those preferring established processes.
