Role
Who you are
- A strong candidate for this role is a skilled programmer who can provision and debug disparate systems regardless of initial familiarity
- We do not require a specific tenure with any technology, but we expect enough proficiency to explore and use them independently:
- Cloud Infrastructure - GCP preferred; AWS or Azure experience is transferable
- Infrastructure as Code
- Kubernetes
- Python
- CI/CD system management
- Observability systems - Datadog and/or OpenTelemetry preferred
- TypeScript and/or Golang - beneficial but less critical
What the job involves
- As a Lead Infrastructure Engineer at Pipe, you will support the growth and maintenance of our cloud infrastructure - including GCP, Kubernetes, Postgres, and Pulumi
- Your work will set the foundations that enable fast, autonomous work across every engineering team
- You will collaborate with our Backend Engineering, Security, Data, and IT teams to ensure our infrastructure is reliable, scalable, and secure
- The infrastructure team is a core part of the software engineering org
- Our infrastructure is defined as code and has a hand in the stability of every codebase at Pipe. This is a small, dedicated team - success here requires problem-solving with a technically diverse mindset
- Design and implement scalable, reliable cloud infrastructure solutions for business-critical applications and services
- Collaborate with engineering teams to ensure infrastructure meets their requirements and is easy to use
- Maintain a strong security posture through close collaboration with the security team to ensure compliance with industry standards and regulations
- Monitor and troubleshoot infrastructure issues and drive timely resolution
- Automate infrastructure deployment and management processes to improve efficiency and reduce manual work
- Participate in on-call rotation to support critical infrastructure issues
- We are committed to using the right tools for the problems we are trying to solve. We are not dogmatic, but our current stack includes:
- Frontend: Typescript, React, Next.js
- Backend: Go, PostgreSQL, BigQuery
- Data: BigQuery, Sqlmesh, Python
- Infrastructure: Kubernetes, Pulumi, Buildkite, Google Cloud Platform
- Our stack reflects the tools we've found most effective for the problems we solve. Strong candidates will have hands-on experience with most of these technologies and the technical range to pick up what's new quickly
- You will be successful at Pipe if you:
- Want to join a remote-first startup and make a real impact
- Hold yourself and your teammates to high standards
- Have a strong technical foundation and use your skills to help customers succeed
- Take end-to-end ownership of your work and enjoy collaborating across functions
Our take
Pipe is an alternative trading platform for start-up businesses that allows entrepreneurs and founders to take agency over their direction. Now a certified unicorn company, Pipe enables companies to sell their future recurring revenue to large institutional investors for cash.
The company was founded by entrepreneurs who had experience with the challenges founders face when financing companies. Solving a widespread problem in the start-up space, Pipe has seen great success and has been used by over 23,000 companies, facilitating hundreds of millions of dollars in loans quarterly.
Recently the company has seen great success, by partnering with GoCardless to revolutionize SME capital across the UK, a move the company is making to expand its international presence outside of the US. This pilot program has shown impressive results and points towards a future of international success for Pipe.
