Founding Software Engineer, Backend Infrastructure

About us

Our mission at Credal is to harness frontier AI for everyone building a better future.

We accelerate the most complex, sophisticated operations of the most impactful institutions, while weaving security and governance into every part of our product. Our users include the HHS, MongoDB, Comcast, Lattice, Wise, Checkr, and incident.io among others.

We’ve raised just over $10m to date with a ton of runway and are looking to continue growing our engineering team.

About the role

We’re looking for a founding BE infrastructure engineer to work closely with our CTO, engineering team, and customers. What you’ll do:

• Backend or even full-stack development of new platform features and data/SaaS integrations (TypeScript, React)

• Own our core infrastructure, including: Kubernetes, AWS, Terraform, Helm Charts, vector databases, CI/CD (Argo/Flux)

• Ensure we can run across cloud and cloud-prem environments: from federal government to Fortune 50 infrastructure

• Stay as unattractive as possible to nation state actors: our AppSec, vuln management, pen testing and container & cloud security make our adversaries’ efforts as difficult, expensive and unpleasant as possible

• Build out Bring Your Own Cloud (BYOC) and Multi-Single Tenant (MST) to support federal and regulated enterprise environments

• Improve platform stability and reliability

• Engage directly with customers and our GTM team to ensure we’re delivering for our customers

• Continue raising our bar for engineering excellence

You’ll join a team of Thoughtful Doers™ from places like Palantir, Cruise, Meta, Uber, and Google.

About you

You might be a great fit if you’re a fluent generalist in all things backend who can also contribute to full stack development and cloud & infrastructure. Who you are:

• Experienced with production systems at scale - ideally in startups

• Security-minded - all things cyber, AppSec, and cloud security are foundational to you

• High-ownership - you own things (projects, outcomes, customer unlocks) from ambiguous start to clean finish

• Thrives in fast-paced environments - sprint cycles, biasing towards action

• Customer-focused - you care deeply about customers’ challenges and incorporating their feedback

• Adaptable - able to flex across the broad range of software engineering as needed (infra, BE, ideally even full-stack)

We encourage you to apply even if you don’t perfectly match this description but believe you would be a good fit with our values and culture. We embrace driven people who may not fit the mold or check every box.

Benefits and work environment

• Medical (incl HSA options), vision, dental insurance

• Weekly team dinners, fun offsite events

• Unlimited PTO

• In-person at our big office in Dumbo with stocked kitchen and views of the bridge
