About the role
- Build and own the infrastructure and platform capabilities that power Stytch’s identity platform as it scales across Twilio—ensuring security, reliability, and performance for every customer.
- Design, implement, and operate scalable cloud infrastructure (AWS/EKS, ECS, networking, data stores), balancing uptime, cost, and developer velocity.
- Partner closely with Product and Engineering leadership to set infrastructure direction, translate platform needs into technical plans, and deliver high-impact roadmap work.
- Collaborate across Twilio and Stytch teams to align on architecture, integrate platform capabilities, and unblock cross-team initiatives.
- Operate with deep technical ownership: author design docs, drive key technical decisions, review code, and stay close to the systems you ship.
- Build in ambiguity—break down complex problems, make pragmatic tradeoffs, and adopt new technologies or strategies when they improve outcomes.
- Improve production quality and resilience through strong observability, incident response, automated remediation, and continuous reliability engineering.
- Make developers’ lives easier by building self-service tooling, safer deployment patterns, and reliable platform primitives that accelerate product teams.
- Mentor and support other engineers through pairing, feedback, and knowledge-sharing, helping raise the team’s technical bar and culture.
