About The Company

A Series A, profitable developer-infrastructure company building a cloud platform that gives the power of the cloud without the complexity and cost — letting engineering teams instantly spin up production-grade infrastructure on any cloud provider, deploy their code, and monitor and manage it, so they can focus on building product instead of managing infrastructure. Growing 8x in ARR since 2022, with a flat team and a high-ownership culture.

The Role
