Staff Engineer, Platform & Infrastructure

Role Description

We are hiring a Staff Platform Engineer to own the infrastructure Nango runs on - and increasingly, the infrastructure our customers run Nango on. This is a critical role at the heart of the company: as a product-led business selling to developers, our engineers directly drive the product roadmap, specifications, and execution. You'll be the first person here whose primary focus is the platform beneath the product.

• Own and scale the cloud infrastructure behind our open-source platform: compute, networking, and the data layer.
• Lead BYOC: turn customer-cloud deployments into a real product, with provisioning, upgrades, and observability that scale past bespoke work per deal.
• Operationalize and productize our IaC and GitOps foundations so a small team keeps shipping fast as we grow.
• Make reliability a product feature: meaningful SLOs, and an incident process people trust.
• Lead our data layer: Postgres, Redis, Elasticsearch, and ClickHouse at growing scale.
• Own the infrastructure side of security and compliance: SOC 2, GDPR, HIPAA, enterprise security reviews.
• Help shape the roadmap and company strategy with high ownership of key decisions.

Qualifications

• 10+ years (staff-level) in platform, infrastructure, DevOps, or SRE roles, with proven ability to run high-traffic systems in production.
• Deep production Kubernetes experience, and opinions about when it's the wrong tool.
• Experience operating software in environments you don't control: BYOC, single-tenant, on-prem, or air-gapped.
• Deep AWS fluency, where we run today; exposure to GCP and Azure helps, since our customers don't all pick the same cloud.
• Terraform as your native mode of working: modules others can use, safe state management, multi-account topologies.
• Databases as a genuine strength, Postgres especially - performance work, migrations under load, replication.
• Real compliance exposure: SOC 2 or ISO audits, pen tests, security reviews. You can tell substance from theatre.
• Product mindset and developer empathy: you can read a customer issue and go build the fix. Our stack is TypeScript and Node.
• Strong communicator, proactive, and reliable in a remote-first environment.
• Pragmatic, positive, and low ego: you step up in incidents and unblock teammates.
• Startup-ready: autonomous, ownership-driven, and able to navigate ambiguity.
• Based in North America, LATAM or Europe.

Benefits

• If you're a seasoned platform engineer who loves developer infrastructure, thrives on ownership, and wants to shape the future of integrations - we'd love to hear from you.
