Founding Software Engineer, Infrastructure

A brokerage that runs itself needs infrastructure that runs itself. You will build the backbone that lets Kinro operate autonomously: cloud architecture, deployment systems, observability, data flows, and internal tooling that hold up without someone watching. This is a coding-heavy role for someone who can help a small team move quickly without compromising reliability, security, or simplicity. WHAT YOU'LL DO Design and own the infrastructure that runs Kinro in production, including cloud services, networking, data systems, and deployment pipelines. Build observability and reliability tooling so the system catches, reports, and recovers from its own failures. Strengthen our security posture across application infrastructure, secrets management, and customer integrations. Automate the operational work of running the company, so the team ships product instead of babysitting systems. Make sound architectural tradeoffs: choose systems that are simple, robust, and right-sized for our stage. WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR You have built and operated production infrastructure in a fast-moving startup or product environment. You are hands-on in code, not just configuration, and comfortable in TypeScript, Python, Go, or similar. You have strong judgment around cloud architecture, CI/CD, databases, queues, security boundaries, and failure modes. You automate by instinct: anything done manually twice becomes a system. You care about simplicity and know when extra infrastructure is justified and when it is unnecessary complexity. NICE TO HAVE Experience with async job systems, event-driven architectures, or production ML infrastructure. Experience with infrastructure-as-code and internal platform tooling. Experience in regulated environments or enterprise deployments.
