Responsibilities
• Operate and scale the GKE clusters powering the consumer webapp, with KEDA-driven autoscaling tied to product-dependent load metrics. • Manage the database infrastructure that keeps tax season survivable: primary instances, read pools, connection pooling, and PSC networking. • Maintain Redis caching layers for session and data caching at scale. • Operate GitOps pipelines and image-driven promotion workflows from staging to production. • Develop and maintain Helm charts for consistent deployments across environments. • Implement observability with OpenTelemetry — monitors, dashboards, metric routing with PII stripping, and Pub/Sub export. • Secure the platform with Cloudflare integration, Cloud Armor WAF, CloudOrigin CA TLS certificates, and GCP Secret Manager via External Secrets. • Partner with backend and AI teams to stand up staging environments so they can run experiments and ship new features without waiting on infra. • What we look for
Benefits
• Every year, millions of people use CoinTracker to make sense of their crypto taxes and unlock their financial potential. The infrastructure behind that experience has to hold up. During tax season, load climbs by orders of magnitude in a matter of weeks. • As our Senior Infrastructure Engineer, you'll build and operate the platform that powers both our consumer tax product and Nino, our AI-driven personal finance tool. You'll scale our databases, automate our deployments, and stand up the infrastructure foundation for the AI-powered features the product team is building next. • This is infrastructure with a direct line to users. When tax season hits or when a user is trying to make a complex financial decision, what you build is what stands between them and confusion. • Your one-year outcomes • Hold 99.9%+ uptime through tax season (Jan–Apr) with automated autoscaling validation, promotion gates, and SLO-based alerting that catches issues before users do. • Cut deployment lead time by 50% by streamlining our CI/CD pipeline. New features, including AI experiments, ship from staging to production in under an hour with zero-downtime rolling updates. • Establish the AI/ML infrastructure foundation. Provision and operationalize the GCP resources the product team needs to experiment with and ship ML-driven features. • Improve database performance at scale by tuning database read pools, validating connection pooling under load, and implementing automated performance regression detection.
