Job Level

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.

Requirements

  • 6+ years of experience as an Infrastructure or Platform Engineer building and operating high-scale, mission-critical cloud production systems.

  • Hands-on proficiency in at least one modern programming language used in production.
  • Experience designing and running observability and on-call systems (e.g., Datadog, ELK, Prometheus/Grafana).
  • Experience scaling cloud infrastructure for distributed systems, including relational databases and high-availability service architectures.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills; comfortable writing design docs and leading technical discussions.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or equivalent practical experience.
  • Schedule: ability to work non-standard, on-call rotation weekend and holiday hours.
