Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Engine is an all-in-one travel and spend management platform for businesses and groups. The Senior Software Engineer, Infrastructure will provide technical leadership on the central infrastructure team, designing cloud infrastructure, Terraform modules, CI/CD patterns, reliability tooling, security primitives, and cost-visibility capabilities used across the company.
Responsibilities
- Set the technical direction for a major area of Engine's infrastructure over a multi-quarter horizon — where it's headed, what you're deliberately not building, and how platform investments compound rather than fragment
- Lead multiple infra initiatives in parallel, coordinating across the central team and with the feature teams who'll adopt what you build
- Design and ship the Terraform modules, pipeline patterns, and operational tooling that product teams adopt because they're better than the alternative — not because they're mandated
- Separate signal from noise across the feature-team requests that land on the central team. Decide what deserves a paved road, what belongs in team-owned space, and what shouldn't be built at all
- Own the boring-but-critical work: incident response, on-call quality, deployment reliability, vendor integration health
- Shape the guidelines, tools, and methods every engineer at Engine uses — and coach the feature engineers who apply them
- Represent the infra team in cross-functional conversations with product and engineering leadership. Our team meets twice a week — that's where you'll share what's shipping, align on priorities, and pressure-test decisions
- Reduce the SDLC step-function count across Engine. Every approval gate, every "ask infra first" workflow is a tax — your job is to lower it
Skills
- 6+ years building and operating production cloud infrastructure, with deep AWS expertise (multi-account, networking, IAM, security boundaries)
- Expert-level Terraform — you've designed reusable modules and have opinions about state, drift, and execution patterns
- Strong CI/CD background — GitHub Actions, reusable workflows, OIDC, secret management
- A track record of shipping platform infrastructure that feature teams actually adopt — you know how to build for internal customers without losing sight of what makes something feel like a product
- A bias toward enabling teams over gatekeeping. You'd rather build the paved road than approve the off-road permits
- Experience leading technical direction across multiple teams — making the trade-offs precisely, communicating them clearly, and bringing other engineers along
- Instinct for when a problem deserves a central solution and when it should stay with the team that hit it
- Cloudflare (WAF, DNS, zero-trust/WARP) at production scale
- Datadog, JFrog, or comparable vendor integration experience
- Background in cost observability or FinOps tooling
- History of working on a platform team that serves internal customers — you understand the difference between running a platform and running a gate
Benefits
- Equity for all employees.
- Some roles are also eligible for bonuses or commissions.
- Hybrid-hub model: depending on the role, employees may work in one of the company's offices or fully remote.
- The company will provide what employees need to succeed in their work environment.
