Headhunter & Director | Trusted by YC Founders to Build Their Founding Teams | Facilitating Growth Senior Backend Infrastructure Engineer | AI Builder Tools | San Francisco (Hybrid or Onsite)
One of the most technically ambitious YC startups I’m partnered with is hiring a
Senior Backend Infrastructure Engineer
to help productionize and scale their AI-driven builder tools.
This isn’t a traditional DevOps or SRE position - it’s a backend engineering role with deep AWS experience, ideal for someone who loves building, deploying, and scaling systems from the ground up.
You’ll work directly with the founding team (ex‑deep learning, infra, and LLM veterans) to take internal AI builder tools from prototype to production - ensuring they’re robust, secure, and infinitely scalable.
What You’ll Be Doing:
Take internal Node.js/TypeScript systems and deploy them to production on AWS
Build and manage the infrastructure that powers scalable AI products
Productionize backend systems for performance, reliability, and observability
Implement containerization (Docker, ECS) and contribute to architecture decisions
Work closely with engineers to expose APIs and backend data for front‑end integration
What They’re Looking For:
5+ years of backend software engineering experience (Node.js, TypeScript, APIs)
Proven track record deploying and scaling backend systems in production
Comfortable with databases, containerization, and CI/CD workflows
Experience in startup or small‑team environments where you’ve owned the full lifecycle
Nice to Have:
Experience with queueing systems (Kafka, SQS) or serverless architectures
Background building AI‑powered or large‑scale web systems
Familiarity with performance monitoring and distributed systems
You’ll be joining a team of world‑class engineers obsessed with building high‑quality, scalable software - not “vibe‑coded” prototypes.
If you’re an engineer who thrives on ownership, speed, and real impact, this is one to take seriously.
Apply I’ll reach out with details.
