About the Role
As a Software Engineer 1 on the Platform Team, you will help build the systems and tooling that raise the floor for every engineer at Sydecar. You will join a collaborative, high-trust team that values ownership, thoughtful execution, and a sustainable pace. Your work will be felt across the entire engineering organization, contributing to faster pipelines, reliable infrastructure, safer releases, and a stronger security posture. This is a great role for an early-career engineer who wants to grow quickly alongside experienced platform engineers.
Responsibilities
- Build and improve the internal developer platform, including CI/CD pipelines, build/deploy automation, and local/preview environments, creating a 'golden path' for engineers.
- Design, operate, and scale core shared services and cloud infrastructure as code using Terraform, focusing on reliability, observability, and cost efficiency.
- Advance release automation and test automation to ensure production shipping is routine and low-risk, incorporating safe rollout patterns and easy rollbacks.
- Strengthen the platform's security posture and assist in building a distributed security practice across the engineering organization.
- Partner with product teams as an enabler, helping to build standards and interfaces, and co-building where teams share an interest or have a timely dependency.
- Contribute to projects from concept through deployment, learning to balance speed with scalability.
- Grow through pairing, code review, and mentorship from senior engineers, and participate in architecture discussions.
- Collaborate closely with engineering, product, design, and operations teams.
Requirements
- A strong computer science foundation, including data structures, algorithms, and systems fundamentals (degree in CS/related field or equivalent practical experience).
- AI-native: fluent and comfortable using agentic / AI-assisted development tools as part of your everyday workflow.
