Senior Infrastructure Engineer, CoinTracker

• Opportunity Alignment: Genuine conviction about our mission, the opportunity we're going after, or the technical problems we're solving
• High Agency: You identify what matters, take it on, and own outcomes
• Exceptional Collaboration: Build high-trust partnerships that make team members want you on hard projects
• Critical Thinking: Find the real question beneath the surface one, weigh alternatives, and show clear judgment under uncertainty
• Deep hands-on experience with GCP — GKE, AlloyDB/CloudSQL, Redis, Pub/Sub, GCS, Secret Manager, IAM
• Strong Terraform skills — module development, state management, infrastructure-as-code discipline
• Kubernetes proficiency — cluster management, Workload Identity, autoscaling, PodDisruptionBudgets, node pools
• Database operations at scale — PostgreSQL/AlloyDB read pools, connection pooling (PgBouncer), capacity planning
• High-traffic webapp experience — handling seasonal traffic spikes, zero-downtime deploys, rapid rollback
• Monitoring and observability — alerting strategies, SLO/SLI definition

Desirable

• 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
• 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
• 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
