SRE (Platform) Engineer at Hanover Park | LAYIQ

Need
Minimum 5 years running production infrastructure at scale, whether the title was SRE, platform engineer, or DevOps
A track record designing infrastructure architecture from the ground up, not just operating within one someone else already built
Experience being the senior-most infra voice at a scaling startup: setting standards, being the escalation point, and living with the consequences of your own architecture decisions
Experience owning postgres in production at scale
Genuine software engineering ability. You can read, write, and debug application code, not just configs and scripts
A history of establishing incident response practices and SLOs/SLIs where none existed before, not just following ones already in place
A bias toward automating toil away rather than doing the same manual fix every week
Nice to have
Direct experience with vercel or supabase specifically
Experience with trigger.dev or a similar workflow/queue orchestration tool
Time as the founding or senior-most infrastructure hire at an early-stage startup, not a member of an established platform team
Experience mentoring other engineers or building out an infra/platform function as a company scales
Experience in financial services or another regulated, security-sensitive industry
Exposure to compliance frameworks like SOC 2
This Isn't the Right Fit If
You've only ever operated within playbooks someone else wrote and haven't designed the playbook yourself
You want to write infra code exclusively and never touch the product
You're looking to join an established platform team with existing headcount and process to lean on You need a mature on-call rotation and a lot of process in place before you feel comfortable owning something
Why Now
We're past the point where infrastructure can be a side project. Every fund we onboard adds more data, more automation, and more surface area for something to break at the worst possible time. This role exists because we'd rather build that muscle now, with someone who's already done it before and owns it end to end, than find out the hard way what happens without it.
Equal Opportunity
Hanover Park is an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees.
