About the role
As our first Platform Engineer at Comulate you'll play a critical role in shaping our cloud infrastructure and ensuring our systems are reliable, scalable, and secure. With our explosive growth over the last two years, we need to keep pace with our evolving infrastructure needs so we’re looking for an experienced team member that can come in and execute with best practices from day one.
You might be a good fit if you have/are: 6+ years of cloud infrastructure, platform engineering, or SRE experience.
3+ years of experience architecting AWS infrastructure. Potential examples: Blue-green deploys, VPN for employees (e.g.
Tailscale
) or Postgres observability tooling (e.g.
pganalyze
or
pghero
).
Familiarity with Infrastructure as Code (IaC), such as Terraform.
Understanding of networking in AWS involving VPCs and VPNs.
You are known for driving engineering best practices around application performance, monitoring, and alerting.
Developer experience is top of mind: you have improved CI/CD pipelines and local development tooling (e.g. hot-reloading, unit testing speeds, etc.)
[Nice to have] Deep understanding of Postgres performance to help advise engineers on best practices / how to improve query performance.
[Nice to have] Familiarity with compliance standards such as SOC 2
Not required: insurance knowledge – we promise, you’ll pick up the necessary pieces fast!
Our team & philosophy
We’re backed by
Spark Capital
(Natalie Sandman) and founders/executives from Brex, Asana, Plaid, Applied Intuition, Coalition, and more. Our team hails from companies like Airbnb, Google, Slack, and LiveRamp. We're also fairly low-profile: we don't seek TechCrunch coverage or validation from peers; we instead focus that energy on delivering for customers and building a category-defining company. We’re hiring predominantly in
San Francisco , as we believe in-person collaboration is strategically important for a company at our stage — both for velocity and company culture. Benefits
Competitive base salary and generous equity
Generous medical, dental, and vision benefits
401K plan enrollment
Flexible time-off policy
Lunch & dinner every day
Paid parental leave
Company outings and offsites
(and more benefits as we grow!)
Comulate is proud to be an equal opportunity employer. We are committed to building a diverse and inclusive culture that celebrates authenticity. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, marital status, disability, protected veteran status, or any other legally protected characteristics.
