- Strong communication skills for documentation writing, customer relationships and change management facilitation
- Baseline knowledge of security compliance frameworks (ISO 27001, SOC 2 Type 2, …)
- Significant production experience on AWS using container technologies and infrastructure-as-code tooling (Terraform / Pulumi)
- Solid production experience with Kubernetes in on-premise / private cloud contexts (storage controller management, advanced networking and control plane management)
- Production experience in release management including CI systems (e.g. GitHub Actions, Jenkins, …) and CD systems (e.g. ArgoCD, Spinnaker, …)
- Production experience in monitoring, alerting and observability implementation, performance troubleshooting and reliability engineering
- Production experience in database management (handling migrations, introducing breaking changes in data schemas without downtime, handling backup and restoration, …)
- Working with AI agents
- A track record of supporting less experienced engineers, whether through mentoring, technical guidance, or being a go-to reference in your scope
- Packaging code with Nix and configuring operating systems with NixOS / nix-darwin
- Working with airgapped environments (environments disconnected from the internet)
- Experience with zero-trust systems
- Knowledge of advanced security compliance frameworks (IGI 901, FedRAMP, …)
- Experience with AI agent factories
What the job involves
- We are looking for a highly experienced Senior Infrastructure / Platform Engineer to design, build, and operate reliable, secure, and scalable infrastructure systems. This is a senior role for someone with deep production expertise, strong opinions backed by experience, and the ability to mentor and uplift more junior engineers across the team
- You will focus on delivering automated infrastructure changes, enabling strong self-service capabilities for engineering teams, and supporting both cloud and on-premise environments. You’ll play a key role in ensuring high availability, security, and performance, while continuously adapting our platform and organizational capabilities to evolving technologies
- As a senior member of the team, you will also be expected to share knowledge, review work, and guide more junior profiles, helping them grow into stronger engineers
- On the back end, the REST API is historically implemented with Django. However, new developments are done with Deno, so TypeScript
- The database technology is AWS Aurora with Postgres compatibility, for both Django and Deno servers. With Deno, we use Drizzle as a lightweight ORM
- We heavily use Honeycomb and Sentry to understand what goes on at scale
- Our coding style in TypeScript is inspired by data-oriented programming
- On the front end, our web app is a single-page application in Vue.js. It is partially in TypeScript; we migrate from JavaScript as we go
- The front-end application is continuously deployed with Cloudflare Pages, which allows for preview URLs on pull requests
- We use Claap to share videos of our work and Sentry to log errors
- We also have a mobile application, developed with Vue.js and Capacitor
- The servers run as containers on AWS. We use ECS and Fargate, and we plan to use EKS in the future
- The infrastructure is entirely Terraformed, using CDKTF with TypeScript
- A small number of customers have dedicated infrastructures. We also support on-premise deployments using Kubernetes operators, alongside a deployment toolkit built with Nix
- For observability, we use Honeycomb, built on OpenTelemetry, giving us structured traces across the stack
- Delivering infrastructure changes using automation while maintaining high availability and strong engineering experience
- Enabling engineers to focus on product development by delivering strong self-servicing capabilities that abstract required infrastructure and security knowledge
- Enabling on-premise customers to use Fabriq reliably
- Delivering platform structure to create autonomy, reduce friction and maintain high security, reliability and cost standards
- Adapting organizational capabilities to technological evolutions
- Mentoring and supporting more junior engineers through code reviews, pairing, and knowledge sharing, contributing to raising the overall technical level of the team
Application process
- 1. Screening - 30 min A first call to align on your background, motivations, and what Fabriq can offer
- 2. Technical interview - 90 to 120 min A deep-dive with the Platform team on real infrastructure and engineering challenges
- 3. Meet the Platform team - 45 min An informal exchange with your future teammates to see how we’d work together
- 4. Meet the CEOs - 30 min A final conversation on Fabriq’s vision, ambition, and culture fit
