Role

Who you are

Expertise in integrating best practices for data reliability, fault tolerance, and integrity

Familiarity with containerization and orchestration technologies (e.g. Kubernetes, Docker) and Infrastructure as Code (e.g. Terraform, GitOps)
Experience designing and building highly reliable systems at scale

What the job involves

Building products that make developers lives easier — as a data infrastructure engineer for a developer infrastructure company, what you build will have an immediate impact on our customers

Ownership — advocate for projects and solutions that you believe in and ship them to production
Leadership — level up your teammates by providing mentorship and guidance

Our take

Passwords don’t typically offer the levels of security they once did, and we need more of them than ever - leading to poor security practices and a huge volume of subsequent data breaches. Some startups have emerged to help manage them; Stytch, however, is part of a growing cohort looking to cut them out entirely.

The idea is to make navigating digital space frictionless. To this end, Stytch has developed an out-of-the-box, easy-to-deploy version of about a dozen passwordless authentication solutions. It has seen a sharper increase in users and funding than rival startups like Magic, which it puts down to an API-first product, which is less limiting in its application than the widgets we’ve seen developed by earlier entrants to the space.

That alone, however, won’t be enough to push it ahead of other highly successful innovators in the space. Transmit Security has received record-breaking backing for its biometrics-led approach. This goes to show how far the market is betting on a passwordless future, and Stytch's acquisition by customer engagement platform Twilio exemplifies this trend.
