About Pipe
Pipe is the modern capital platform built to connect entrepreneurs and business owners to fast, frictionless, dilution-free financing. Pipe turns all forms of revenue into up-front working capital to help companies improve cash flow, scale operations, and grow on their terms.
The Role
As an Infrastructure Engineer at Pipe, you will be responsible for supporting the growth and maintenance of our cloud infrastructure. Our cloud infrastructure includes, but is not limited to, GCP, Kubernetes, Postgres, and Pulumi. You will work alongside our Security, Developer Experience and IT teams to ensure our infrastructure is reliable, scalable, and secure.
Responsibilities
Design and implement scalable and reliable cloud infrastructure solutions for our business-critical applications and services.
Collaborate with other engineering teams to ensure our infrastructure meets their requirements and is easy to use.
Work closely with our Security team to ensure our infrastructure is secure and compliant with industry standards and regulations.
Monitor and troubleshoot issues with our infrastructure and provide timely resolution.
Automate infrastructure deployment and management processes to improve efficiency and reduce manual work.
Participate in on-call rotation to provide support for critical infrastructure issues.
Tech Stack
We are committed to using the right tools for the problems we are trying to solve. We are not dogmatic, but currently our stack is mostly comprised of:
Frontend: Typescript, React, Next.js
Backend: Go, PostgreSQL, BigQuery
Infrastructure: Kubernetes, Pulumi, Buildkite, Nix, Google Cloud Platform
You do not need to have prior experience with any of these technologies, most of us have learned them on the job. We believe great candidates are capable of learning new tools and we provide mentorship and guidance as needed.
We try to adopt tools that are a delight to use, and that help us be productive. We have a strong focus on always maintaining and improving developer productivity. We experiment frequently, but pragmatically, with new technology.
Qualifications
In general, to be an engineer at Pipe:
You want to join a quickly growing startup and make an impact.
You want to be part of an engineering team that holds each other to high standards.
You want to make things better for yourself and others.
You have a good sense of engineering fundamentals, and are passionate about building high quality software.
You take end-to-end ownership of your work and are comfortable making code changes across the stack when needed.
You can collaborate with non-engineering stakeholders to unblock yourself and make sure you're building the right thing.
You put users first and empathize with how they'll use Pipe. Your work reflects this.
You're interested in finance and helping companies unlock new, more sustainable sources of capital.
You have strong written and verbal communication skills.
You want to work in an environment that recognizes excellence.
Importantly, we do not care for any specific length or tenure of experience. You do not need to have a specific title or certificate or degree. You do not need to live in a certain location. We believe talent comes from anywhere, regardless of background. If you believe you are a good fit for this job, we would like to hear from you. Pipe is an equal opportunity employer: we do not discriminate. Inclusion is important to us and we hope it is to you, too.
Compensation and Benefits
We want you to feel like an owner and that will be reflected in your salary and equity.
The best equipment: if you want it, and it helps you do your job, we'll provide it. Computers, monitors, desks, chairs, headphones, speakers, microphones, webcams, keyboards, mice, etc.
A good work-life balance: we do our best work when we regularly can step away from it and live our lives.
Flexible vacation and work hours. We don't adopt conventional work practices that are meaningless for the type of work we do.
Parental leave for anyone who is growing their family, regardless of gender.
Very good health, dental, and vision insurance.
Great colleagues: we value a culture of authenticity, humility, and excellence.
