Platform Engineer

Meticulous

We have temporarily paused hiring for this role. Please submit your CV to be considered when we re-open it in the future. A World-Changing Company Meticulous is radically accelerating the pace of software development. We've built the world's first fully autonomous and exhaustive testing platform for frontend codebases - a capability that has never existed before and that we believe is the missing piece in unlocking the full potential of code generation. The demand has been immense. Companies like Dropbox, Wiz, and Notion often pay more for Meticulous than any other software product in their stack, and spontaneously refer us to others. Our team of eleven has achieved this by bringing together some of the most talented engineers from Uber, Google, Dropbox, GitHub, Meta, and Palantir. You can learn more about the company in this video here. THE ROLE The First Platform Engineer Meticulous replays thousands of recorded user sessions against every pull request. This requires infrastructure that is fast, reliable, and cost-efficient at scale. As a Platform Engineer, you'll own the systems that make this possible. You'll design and build resilient infrastructure to support 10x growth, operate it in production, and shape our incident processes for when things break. This is not a maintenance role, you'll define how we build and operate as we scale. You'll have significant autonomy. We're a small team, and you'll be the first dedicated platform engineer. That means you'll make real architectural decisions, not just execute on someone else's design. CORE RESPONSIBILITIES Your work will involve pioneering our approach to platform engineering, from infrastructure and security to developer experience: * Architecting Resilient Infrastructure: Design, build, and scale the compute platform that powers Meticulous, managing our cloud infrastructure through Terraform with proper change management. Optimise infrastructure costs, balancing performance and spend as we scale. * Own Production Reliability: Improve our monitoring, alerting, incident response, and on-call rotation to ensure that when systems encounter problems, we’re able to respond quickly and effectively to resolve incidents. * Write Production Code Beyond Infrastructure: This role blends platform engineering with general software development work. * Improve Developer Experience: Build internal tooling and automation that improves developer productivity and allows us to accelerate growth * Build the playbook: As our first platform engineer, you’ll establish infrastructure standards and practices for a growing engineering team, maintaining security and compliance standards across our infrastructure. WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR * Exceptional engineering skills: 3+ years of experience in a software development or platform engineering role. * Infrastructure expertise: Experience operating production systems on AWS (or other cloud provider), hands-on with Kubernetes, and enough Terraform to have opinions about how to structure it. Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and observability tooling (Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, or similar). * Strong technical foundation: Demonstrated ability to write production-quality code and solve hard technical problems (experience with Python, TypeScript/JavaScript, systems programming, or browser internals is valuable). * On-call experience: you know how to triage issues under pressure, drive them to resolution, and write the postmortem afterward. You understand that reliability is built through good design, not just good monitoring. * Awareness of security best practices and compliance requirements (SOC 2 or similar). * Cost consciousness: not just making things work, but making them work economically at scale. You've rightsized compute, managed Spot instances, or made similar trade-offs. * High drive and bias for action: you thrive with minimal supervision, make decisions quickly, and take ownership of outcomes. When you see a problem, you fix it. This role demands entrepreneurial self-drive and comfort with ambiguity. WHAT YOU'LL GAIN Shape a new function As the first Platform Engineer, you'll define how this role evolves and grow into leadership as the team expands. Exceptional growth You grow through a combination of the people you work with, and the experiences you’re exposed to. Within that context: * Our philosophy is that density of talent is what matters; and so we’ve focused on keeping the team small but with exceptional individuals. You’ll get to collaborate with world-class engineers who previously led 100+ person organizations at top companies, and we expect you’ll find the team is beyond any you’ve worked in before, within big tech (Google, Meta, etc.) or otherwise. This, combined with a focus on learning and growing together, means we’re able to learn from each other at rapid pace. * Beyond growing your skills through engineering and collaboration, the role involves spending a lot of time with engineering leaders at the fastest growing tech companies and leading firms in the world. We’ve found this gives us a unique exposure to a huge range of technologies, practices, techniques, codebases, architectures, cultures, learnings - what works, what doesn’t. It’s a valuable bird eye view of collective learnings and experiences. These learnings normally take years or decades to build up as you move between companies. There are few startups that grow as fast as we do. You’ll be joining a small team on an exceptional trajectory. Through this comes unique growth, but also unique network: Expand your network Our investors include Guillermo Rauch (Vercel), Jason Warner (CTO of GitHub), Calvin French-Owen (Segment), Jared Friedman (YC/Scribd), Scott Belsky (Adobe), and Arash Ferdowsi (Dropbox) - we can connect you with anyone in tech in the course to expanding the business. You’ll work with engineering leaders across many leading tech companies, often at the highest levels. Given the speed of growth, and desirability of the product amongst the leading enterprises, Meticulous provides the opportunity to build a network of connections across the full span of the technology world. Solve novel problems Work on challenges at the intersection of browser technology, testing infrastructure, and large-scale system design that few engineers ever encounter - to help build something that changes the way software is developed. World-class compensation Base salary £150K-£300K plus significant equity, exceeding compensation at top technology companies and startups. LIFE AT METICULOUS We believe autonomous testing will enable the automation of the majority of software development. You'll be at the forefront of this transformation, working with the companies that will be first to realize this future. This role is on-site because we've found that the speed of iteration and depth of collaboration required for both customer success and technical excellence happens best in person.

Omnea

OUR MISSION At Omnea, we’re reinventing how enterprise businesses operate, starting with the most painful parts: procurement – where a single purchase can drag on for months, trigger 50+ emails, and pull in Finance, Legal, Security, and IT just to get something approved. We’ve raised $75M from Khosla Ventures, Insight Partners, and Accel to change that. Our AI-native platform connects every person, step, and system so buying is fast, safe, and efficient – one place to request, automated approvals and renewals, real-time supplier risk, and complete spend visibility. The opportunity is massive. Every enterprise on the planet has this problem and nobody has solved it. We’ve 10x’d ARR to double-digit millions in 18 months and are trusted by global enterprises like Spotify, MongoDB, Monzo, and Albertsons. We’re now the 4th fastest growing startup in Europe & the Sunday Times' #1 Best Medium Sized Tech Company To Work for. Our team previously scaled Tessian (cybersecurity tech, backed by Sequoia, Balderton, Accel, acquired post-Series C), and our team includes ex-founders operators who’ve grown unicorns, shipped world-class products, and executed at the highest levels. You’ll work alongside leaders like Ben, Abs, Sabrina, and Rebe. FIND OUT MORE ABOUT THE TEAM AND LIFE AT OMNEA HERE. WHY WE NEED A SOFTWARE ENGINEER (PLATFORM) NOW Omnea deploys multiple times a day, serves enterprise customers who expect rock-solid reliability, and is scaling 10x. Our platform team owns the infrastructure, tooling, and developer experience that underpins all of this. We're adding a hands-on Platform Engineer to the team to improve our CI/CD, scale our serverless infrastructure, strengthen observability, and make every product engineer more effective. WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR We're hiring at both Level 3 (Senior) and Level 4 (Staff). For calibration, candidates typically bring 5+ years of platform engineering experience in high-growth, cloud-native SaaS environments, but we care more about impact than years. You'll join an experienced platform team and contribute across the full stack, from infrastructure-as-code and deployment pipelines to developer tooling and occasionally product features. WHAT YOU'LL DO * Scale our infrastructure. Design and evolve our AWS serverless architecture (including Lambda, DynamoDB, Aurora, EventBridge) for 10x growth, multi-region HA, and data residency requirements. * Own CI/CD and deployment. Build and improve our deployment pipelines (GitHub Actions), infrastructure-as-code (Pulumi), and release tooling so product teams can ship faster and safer. * Own observability. Build out monitoring, alerting, and debugging across the stack using Datadog. When something breaks, we should know before our customers do. * Improve developer experience. Build internal tooling, automate toil, and remove friction so engineers spend more time shipping product and less time fighting infrastructure. * Code and build. Contribute production-ready TypeScript across infrastructure and product features; raise the bar through solid patterns, libraries, and reviews. WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT? * A strong team. You'll join a platform team of senior and staff engineers who set a high bar and will push you to do your best work. * Modern, cloud-native stack. Everything serverless and IaC-driven (AWS, Pulumi, TypeScript end-to-end). * Continuous delivery. We deploy multiple times a day. Your work determines how fast and safely the whole engineering org ships. * Scalability challenges. As we 10x revenue, you'll evolve infrastructure for multi-region HA, data residency, and performance at scale. * Customer impact. The reliability and speed you build is what lets us win and keep enterprise accounts. * Massive ownership. You own problems end-to-end, from brainstorming through to production. * Collaboration & autonomy. Plenty of heads-down technical work, but also close partnership with product engineers and engineering leadership. ABOUT YOU * Platform engineer & builder. You design reliable infrastructure and write clean production code (TypeScript or similar). You've built and maintained CI/CD pipelines, IaC, and developer tooling at scale. * Cloud-native. Deep knowledge of AWS (Lambda, DynamoDB, EventBridge, IAM, networking) or equivalent cloud-native experience. You understand serverless and its trade-offs. * Developer-first. You think about engineers as your customers. You automate toil, improve feedback loops, and care deeply about making other people productive. * Commercially minded. You understand that infrastructure exists to serve the product and the business. You make trade-offs with that in mind. * Bias for action. You iterate quickly, ship pragmatically, and automate everything. * Culture carrier. You coach teammates, share knowledge freely, and keep calm when things break. Nice-to-haves * Experience with Pulumi or similar IaC frameworks. * Hands-on Datadog experience. * Experience building internal developer platforms or tools adopted org-wide. * Open-source contributions to infrastructure or developer tooling projects.

Quadrature Capital

At Quadrature, we're building the ultimate automated trading system: one that ingests data, forms views, executes in the market, and learns from the result to get better and faster. Every component - research infrastructure, low-latency stream processing, distributed data systems, trade execution, observability - is part of that system. The goal is for human effort to compound, rather than be spent solving the same problems again and again. Platform Engineers run the internal developer platform that powers Quadrature's business-critical applications, giving engineering teams self-service tools to ship and operate their systems reliably. What we’re looking for:  * Strong hands-on experience running Kubernetes in production: administration, operations, and application deployment.  * Solid grounding in Linux and networking fundamentals, with proficiency in Go or Python.  * A track record of leading complex technical projects end-to-end: from requirements and architecture through to implementation and delivery.  * Proficiency with GitOps, Infrastructure-as-Code, configuration management, and modern observability stacks. * A pragmatic, adaptable mindset - equally comfortable building global infrastructure, advising other teams, and bringing in new tools and ideas where they add value. If you want to do the best work of your career, we'd love to hear from you. To see our benefits, check out https://www.quadrature.ai/working-here/our-benefits/
