Senior Backend Infrastructure Engineer | AI Builder Tools | San Francisco (Hybrid or Onsite)

One of the most technically ambitious YC startups Im partnered with is hiring a Senior Backend Infrastructure Engineer to help productionize and scale their AI-driven builder tools.

This isnt a traditional DevOps or SRE position - its a backend engineering role with deep AWS experience, ideal for someone who loves building, deploying, and scaling systems from the ground up.

Youll work directly with the founding team (ex-deep learning, infra, and LLM veterans) to take internal AI builder tools from prototype to production - ensuring theyre robust, secure, and infinitely scalable.

What Youll Be Doing :

  • Take internal Node.js / TypeScript systems and deploy them to production on AWS
  • Build and manage the infrastructure that powers scalable AI products
  • Productionize backend systems for performance, reliability, and observability
  • Implement containerization (Docker, ECS) and contribute to architecture decisions
  • Work closely with engineers to expose APIs and backend data for front-end integration

What Theyre Looking For :

  • 5+ years of backend software engineering experience (Node.js, TypeScript, APIs)
  • Strong AWS experience (ECS, Lambda, CloudFormation / CDK, etc.)
  • Proven track record deploying and scaling backend systems in production
  • Comfortable with databases, containerization, and CI / CD workflows
  • Experience in startup or small-team environments where youve owned the full lifecycle
  • Nice to Have :

  • Experience with queueing systems (Kafka, SQS) or serverless architectures
  • Background building AI-powered or large-scale web systems
  • Familiarity with performance monitoring and distributed systems
  • Youll be joining a team of world-class engineers obsessed with building high-quality, scalable software - not vibe-coded prototypes.

    If youre an engineer who thrives on ownership, speed, and real impact, this is one to take seriously.

    Apply Ill reach out with details.
