What You Will Do

• Own and improve Gigs' cloud infrastructure, ensuring our platform is reliable, scalable, and cost-efficient as we grow.
• Design and build internal developer tooling and platform services that accelerate how product teams ship — from CI/CD pipelines to deployment workflows to local development environments.
• Drive improvements to our observability stack, making it easy for every engineer to understand system behavior, debug issues, and respond to incidents with confidence.
• Take complex infrastructure problems end-to-end: scoping, designing, implementing, and operating solutions in production.
• Collaborate closely with product engineering teams to understand their pain points and build platform capabilities that unblock them.
• Contribute to our infrastructure-as-code practices, ensuring our cloud environments are reproducible, auditable, and version-controlled.
• Participate in on-call rotations, incident response, and post-mortems — and use what you learn to make our systems more resilient.
• Raise the bar for platform engineering quality through code reviews, documentation, and advocating for best practices across the team.

What We Are Looking For

• You have 5+ years of professional software engineering experience, with meaningful time spent on infrastructure, platform, or DevOps/SRE work in a production environment.
• You use AI as a core part of how you work, not an occasional shortcut. That means prompting agents with context and intent, reviewing what they produce critically, and knowing when to push back. You can explain the code an agent wrote, catch when it oversteps the ask, and form your own opinion on whether the output is actually good. You're curious about how the tooling is evolving and actively working to get better at it.
• You have experience designing and building a platform layers e.g. centralised authentication, observability, routing logic, or API versioning which other product teams integrate against or build on top of.
• You have hands-on experience with cloud platforms (GCP preferred) and infrastructure-as-code tools like Terraform. You understand networking, compute, and storage at a level that lets you make good trade-offs.
• You have experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines and deployment systems. You care about developer experience and know that a great platform is one that engineers actually want to use.
• You think in systems. You can reason about distributed architectures, understand failure modes, and design for reliability and observability from the start.
• You enjoy building products from the infrastructure up. You care about finding the right solution to internal customer needs, and you're comfortable taking ownership and delivering.
• You communicate clearly and collaborate well. You can explain infrastructure decisions to product engineers, write useful documentation, and contribute to technical discussions with confidence.
• You care about more than just engineering — you want to see the business impact of everything you do, and you know how to make pragmatic speed/quality trade-offs.
• You have a growth mindset when it comes to tooling and practices. You stay curious about how the industry is evolving — including AI-assisted development — and you're thoughtful about adopting what makes you and your team more effective.

Bonus Points If

• You have experience with our stack: GCP (cloud run), Docker, Terraform, Ruby on Rails, Go, PostgreSQL, Kafka, PubSub.
• You have worked in fintech, payments, telecom, or other regulated industries where reliability and compliance matter.
• You have experience building developer-facing platforms or internal tooling at a high-growth startup (Series B–D).
• You have contributed to open-source infrastructure tooling or have a track record of improving developer productivity at scale.
• You use AI tooling as part of your engineering workflow and have developed a practical sense for where it adds value and where it doesn't — for example, using it for infrastructure scaffolding, debugging, exploring unfamiliar APIs, or drafting documentation, while knowing when to rely on your own judgment.

Work At Gigs

At Gigs, we value in-person collaboration. We believe the best ideas, decisions, and relationships are built when teams spend meaningful time together, and our culture is designed around that belief. We support flexibility where it makes sense. Some focused work can be done remotely, and not every role or week looks the same. You should expect regular time in one of our hubs, as well as occasional travel for team workshops, customer meetings, and Gigs Republic, our bi-annual company off-site. Our offices are designed to feel like home-inspired workspaces, with plants, thoughtful tools, and small, tight-knit teams that make collaboration feel natural, energizing, and effective.

What We Offer

At Gigs, we believe in rewarding excellence. We offer competitive compensation and stock options because we see you as a true partner in our growth. We also provide stipends for your home office or work setup, a budget for learning and development to fuel your career, and of course, a free phone and international data plan
