Platform Engineer

Join Heron, a fast-growing startup revolutionizing the financial industry. As a Platform Engineer, you'll build the infrastructure that ensures our backend stays fast and reliable as volume grows. You'll work closely with our CTO and Head of Engineering, and have the opportunity to grow into a tech lead role as the platform team scales. Enjoy comprehensive benefits, flexible PTO, and the chance to make a real impact.

• Contribuer au développement de fonctionnalités significatives sur la plateforme produit ou l'infrastructure de la plateforme, en assurant la fiabilité à grande échelle.
• Construire des outils internes, des abstractions et des primitives de plateforme qui permettent aux ingénieurs produits de travailler rapidement sans compromettre la qualité.
• Participer aux décisions architecturales qui façonnent l'évolution de l'arrière-plan de l'entreprise, en tenant compte de la croissance du volume traité.
• Our ideal candidate is a backend engineer with 3-6 years of experience who has worked at a startup or growth-stage company and knows what it feels like to build something that actually matters
• You're more drawn to the systems layer than the UI layer, and you get satisfaction from making other engineers more productive
• You have a strong CS foundation (degree or equivalent depth) and have a track record of writing clean, well-tested Python in production
• You've built backend systems at a startup or growth-stage company and understand the trade-offs between speed and quality at that stage
• You care about reliability and developer experience. You might have fixed a flaky test suite in a previous job or built a simple but killer internal tool that everyone uses
• You're comfortable with cloud infrastructure (we're on GCP), databases, CI/CD, and the unglamorous work that keeps a platform running
• You're less interested in being the person on customer calls and more interested in being the person who makes sure the platform can handle whatever customers throw at it
• You don't need to be told what to do - pilot not passenger. You see problems, propose solutions, and ship them
