Software Engineer, Platform

We are building a Platform team from the ground up — and this is one of the founding hires. You'll work directly with the platform team lead to define how Rilla builds, ships, monitors, and scales its infrastructure. Everything is on the table: the CI/CD pipelines, the Terraform modules, the monitoring stack, the SSO integrations, and the API infrastructure our customers depend on. If it keeps the product running and the engineers shipping, it's yours. You'll write code, design systems, make architectural decisions, and build the platform that a 25+ person engineering team relies on every day. You will own things end-to-end: from an idea on a whiteboard to a production system serving thousands of customers. We're open to engineers at any level — what matters is that you're relentlessly resourceful, deeply technical, and excited to build something from scratch.
