Requirements
• 5+ years in infrastructure / SRE / platform engineering roles, with breadth across infra disciplines. We're looking for an infra generalist, not a deep specialist in one narrow area. • Hands-on experience with cloud infrastructure (GCP preferred) and infrastructure-as-code tools (Terraform, Pulumi, etc.) • Strong software engineering fundamentals. You approach infrastructure with a builder's mindset. • Technical breadth across infra domains: networking, security, observability, CI/CD, database operations, containerization. We don’t expect you to be an expert in everything, just knowledgeable enough to be effective on a small team without other specialists. • Experience with consumer-facing, revenue-critical systems, though you don't need FAANG-scale experience. • Bonus / Nice-to-Have: • You've led infrastructure evolution at a growing startup, not just maintained existing systems. Ideally on a small team (You're excited by environments with little structure — where you're expected to understand the bigger picture, cut through ambiguity, and figure out what matters most. • We are strongly committed to building a diverse team. If you're from a background that's underrepresented in tech, we'd love to meet you.
Responsibilities
• We're looking for a Lead Infrastructure Engineer to define what great infrastructure looks like at Atticus and build the platforms and tooling that help engineers ship fast without breaking things. • You'll be our second infrastructure engineer, working with Jereme to shape our technical foundations from the ground up — setting the vision, building the systems, and establishing the practices that will support Atticus for years to come. • You'll own infrastructure as a product, serving Atticus's product engineering teams as your customers. This means: • Shaping our infrastructure roadmap — developing a clear vision for where our infra needs to go and driving progress toward it • Building security and operational foundations — laying the groundwork for sustainable growth • Improving reliability — reducing MTTR, establishing SLOs, bringing rigor to how we manage outages • Empowering product teams — you'll build the platforms and tools that let them own their systems end-to-end • This is a senior IC role reporting directly to Toby, our VP of Engineering. You'll have a major hand in shaping our infrastructure strategy — and you'll also be writing code and shipping directly. We're a 20-person engineering team, so there's no layer of abstraction between you and the work.
Benefits
• This is a rare opportunity to join a startup that has strong traction (substantial funding, well-respected backers, tremendous growth, and many happy customers) but is still small enough that you can have a huge impact and play a role in shaping our culture. • We're a certified B Corporation tackling a critical social problem. Our mission to help people in need drives everything we do, and your work here will touch many lives. • We offer competitive pay — including equity — and generous benefits: • Medical and dental insurance with 100% of employee premiums covered • 15 vacation days & ~20 paid holidays each year (including two weeks at the end-of-year) • Free membership to OneMedical • $600/year internet stipend • $1,000 reimbursable stipend for education and training outside of work • Up to $1,200/year student loan repayment assistance • 401(k) and optional HSA/FSA • Humble, thoughtful, smart, fun colleagues • We anticipate the base salary band for this role will be between $170,000 and $220,000 in addition to equity and benefits. The salary at offer will be determined by a number of factors such as candidate's experience, knowledge, skills and abilities, as well as internal equity among our team. • This job is fully remote and we're committed to empowering everyone with flexibility. Work remotely, and travel to LA (on the company dime) as needed to be with your colleagues — usually quarterly, plus offsites. We care a lot about building a great culture and we think some interactions need to happen in person, so we put a lot of thought into retreats, offsites, and other ways to gather.
