About the role The Stride Engineering team is on the lookout for a motivated Cloud Platform Engineer to help take us to the next level. We are a small engineering team that collaborates very closely. You will drive operational excellence by implementing and supporting DevOps practices such as fast feedback cycles using monitoring, increased delivery cadence by improving our Continuous Delivery processes and pipelines, and increasing the reliability and scalability of our systems through automation and infrastructure as code. You’ll work closely with other engineers to help them build safe and reliable systems.

Our technology stack consists of NodeJS and Python backend services along with Redis, ElasticSearch, DynamoDB and Postgres data stores. All of this is running in AWS on EC2, containerized in ECS or on Lambda. We use Terraform to manage our infrastructure resources. Ideally, you’ll have experience building and managing cloud-ready systems on AWS.

We are building the world’s first benefits platform designed specifically for independent contractors and part-time employees. You will be a cornerstone to ensuring that the platform is reliable and scalable. If you’re a seasoned engineer who wants to make an impact, the kind of which only a fast-growing startup can provide, we would love for you to join us on this adventure. The nature of work is changing, forever. Be a part of it.
