Company mission
To orchestrate the full supplier lifecycle - transforming procurement, third-party risk management, and spend control.
Role
Who you are
- We're hiring at both Level 3 (Senior) and Level 4 (Lead). For calibration, candidates typically bring 5+ years of platform engineering experience in high-growth, cloud-native SaaS environments, but we care more about impact than years
- Platform engineer & builder. You design reliable infrastructure and write clean production code (TypeScript or similar). You've built and maintained CI/CD pipelines, IaC, and developer tooling at scale
- Cloud-native. Deep knowledge of AWS (Lambda, DynamoDB, EventBridge, IAM, networking) or equivalent cloud-native experience. You understand serverless and its trade-offs
- Developer-first. You think about engineers as your customers. You automate toil, improve feedback loops, and care deeply about making other people productive
- Commercially minded. You understand that infrastructure exists to serve the product and the business. You make trade-offs with that in mind
- Bias for action. You iterate quickly, ship pragmatically, and automate everything
- Culture carrier. You coach teammates, share knowledge freely, and keep calm when things break
- We encourage you to apply even if your experience doesn't quite match the full job spec!
Desirable
- Experience with Pulumi or similar IaC frameworks
- Hands-on Datadog experience
- Experience building internal developer platforms or tools adopted org-wide
- Open-source contributions to infrastructure or developer tooling projects
What the job involves
- You'll join an experienced platform team and contribute across the full stack, from infrastructure-as-code and deployment pipelines to developer tooling and occasionally product features
- Scale our infrastructure. Design and evolve our AWS serverless architecture (including Lambda, DynamoDB, Aurora, EventBridge) for 10x growth, multi-region HA, and data residency requirements
- Own CI/CD and deployment. Build and improve our deployment pipelines (GitHub Actions), infrastructure-as-code (Pulumi), and release tooling so product teams can ship faster and safer
- Own observability. Build out monitoring, alerting, and debugging across the stack using Datadog. When something breaks, we should know before our customers do
- Improve developer experience. Build internal tooling, automate toil, and remove friction so engineers spend more time shipping product and less time fighting infrastructure
- Code and build. Contribute production-ready TypeScript across infrastructure and product features; raise the bar through solid patterns, libraries, and reviews
- A strong team. You'll join a platform team of senior and staff engineers who set a high bar and will push you to do your best work
- Modern, cloud-native stack. Everything serverless and IaC-driven (AWS, Pulumi, TypeScript end-to-end)
- Continuous delivery. We deploy multiple times a day. Your work determines how fast and safely the whole engineering org ships
- Scalability challenges. As we 10x revenue, you'll evolve infrastructure for multi-region HA, data residency, and performance at scale
- Customer impact. The reliability and speed you build is what lets us win and keep enterprise accounts
- Massive ownership. You own problems end-to-end, from brainstorming through to production
- Collaboration & autonomy. Plenty of heads-down technical work, but also close partnership with product engineers and engineering leadership
Salary benchmarks
Our take
The way businesses buy stuff is broken. Whether it's SaaS, hardware, or contractors, the average B2B purchase takes over 3 months, requires 50+ emails, and involves multiple different stakeholders. Which in turn, is slowing businesses down.
Omnea's platform handles the entire purchasing process: giving employees an easy place to make requests (Intake), managing the necessary approvals for the purchase to be made (Approvals Engine), and automating all renewals management and suppliers risk assessments. Giving both buyers, and finance and procurement leaders critical visibility into how, when, and why money is being spent.
Given the current markets increased focus on capital efficiency, there has never been a more vital time for businesses to use Omnea and get control of their spending.
