As an Infrastructure Engineer, you'll work on designing and building back end systems and infrastructure to be secure and highly reliable for our customers globally.
This is a hybrid, full-time position based in the SF Bay Area. We aren’t looking for someone to be in-office 5 days per week, but are looking for someone who is excited to collaborate in-person on a weekly basis (2-3 days per week in-office).

A collaborative environment with a tight feedback loop between the work you do and the impact it has on users.
-
Solving problems with pragmatic solutions — you know when to make trade offs between complexity and shipping quickly.

Building products that make developers lives easier — as an infrastructure engineer for a developer infrastructure company, what you build will have an immediate impact on our customers.
-
Shaping the culture and growing the team through recruiting, mentorship, and establishing best practices.
-
Learning new skills and technologies in a fast paced environment.
What Excites Us
-
2+ years as an infrastructure, site reliability or platform engineer.
-
Familiarity with containerization and orchestration technologies (e.g. Kubernetes, Docker) and Infrastructure as Code (e.g. Terraform, GitOps).
-
Experience with observability tooling (e.g. Honeycomb, Datadog, ELK) and a compiled language (e.g. Go).
-
Experience scaling cloud infrastructure including relational databases (MySQL preferred) and Kubernetes (EKS preferred).
-
Experience designing and building highly reliable systems at scale.
What Success Looks Like
-
Technical — build new, highly reliable services that our customers can depend on.
-
Ownership — advocate for projects and solutions that you believe in and ship them to production.
-
Collaboration - work alongside your teammates to achieve company goals.

Expected base salary $155,000-$190,000. The anticipated base salary range is not inclusive of full benefits including equity, health care insurance, time off, paid parental leave, etc. This base salary is accurate based on information at the time of posting.

We're looking to hire a GREAT team and that means hiring people who are highly empathetic, ambitious, and excited about building the future of user authentication. You should feel empowered to apply for this role even if your experience doesn't exactly match up to our job description (our job descriptions are directional and not perfect recipes for exactly what we need).

Top Skills
What We Do
Stytch is the most powerful identity platform built for developers. By powerful, we mean:
**Comprehensive:** Stytch has everything you need to identify, authenticate, and manage your users, including fraud prevention tools like device fingerprinting.
**Adaptable:** Stytch is the only auth provider that enables you to build directly with our APIs or our suite of SDKs, so you can deliver the ideal experience to your users – whatever your architecture.
**Ready to scale:** With a wide array of auth methods and sophisticated architecture underpinning our infrastructure, Stytch’s infrastructure is built to grow with you as your use cases expand and your needs become bigger and more complex.
Whatever your tech stack, whatever your use case, we have the infrastructure and features you need to secure and scale your application.
At Stytch, we believe our ultimate success will be determined by two factors:
- Building a product that delights both customers and end users
- Creating a work environment where everyone thrives
These two cannot exist without the other — without a great culture, we won't be able to deliver a great product over the long run; similarly, having a great culture will be fleeting if we don't deliver a product that developers and users love.
Why Work With Us
Stytch is a fast-paced environment that has a bias for action–we’re growing quickly and believe in learning by iterating and taking bold, but calculated risks. We’re building a culture that values psychological safety–while technical skills are critical, empathy is a key company value and we evaluate candidates on both during the hiring process.
