Full Job Description

The Role As Triumph's first dedicated Infrastructure Engineer, you'll own the foundation that everything else runs on. Until now, our infrastructure has been built and maintained by the core engineering team alongside everything else — you'll be the first person whose entire mandate is to make it fast, observable, and bulletproof. Our platform touches gaming, finance, and social at real-money scale, which means there's no margin for downtime. You'll define how we build, ship, and scale from the ground up — CI/CD pipelines, the databases under our highest-traffic paths, and the telemetry that tells us what's actually happening in production. This is a greenfield mandate: you're not inheriting an infra org, you're starting one. As we scale toward our next order of magnitude of growth, you'll set the standards every future infrastructure hire builds on. What You'll Do - Establish Triumph's infrastructure function — set the standards, tooling, and practices that the team and future hires will build on. - Own and evolve our CI/CD pipelines, making it fast and safe for a growing team to ship continuously. - Take end-to-end ownership of scaling our backend systems, identifying bottlenecks before they become incidents and designing for the next 10x rather than the last one. - Drive our database strategy as a deep Postgres expert — query optimization, connection pooling, replication and read routing, schema evolution, and keeping our highest-traffic data paths healthy under load. - Build out observability and telemetry so the team can see, understand, and act on system behavior in real time — metrics, tracing, structured logging, and meaningful alerting. - Partner with backend engineers to harden the systems that power our core business, from incident response to the architectural decisions that prevent the next one. Qualifications - Strong experience operating and scaling large production systems, with a track record of true ownership — you don't just build it, you keep it
