Founding DevOps Engineer

About Us

Strike is a Y Combinator startup reimagining how the world prices uncertainty.

We're building the first prediction market that allows businesses to hedge against real-world outcomes — protecting against uncertainty in the same way they hedge currencies or commodities.

We just raised a $2.3m seed round and are backed by Y Combinator, Quadcode, Transpose Platform Management, Pioneer Fund, Goodwater Capital, and others.

About the Role

We're looking for a driven, independent engineer to take our current production environment and evolve it, designing and implementing our AWS cloud architecture from scratch.

What You'll Do

- Architect and implement our core AWS infrastructure using AWS CDK, ECS/Fargate, ALB, NAT gateways, VPCs, and WAF

- Migrate existing workloads from Porter-managed environments to a custom IaC setup

- Design and maintain CI/CD pipelines for automated testing and deployment

- Establish observability, monitoring, and alerting using tools like CloudWatch

- Define and implement secure network boundaries, IAM policies, and secrets management

- Collaborate with developers to ensure infrastructure and application design align

What We're Looking For

- 3+ years of experience in DevOps, Backend, or Infrastructure Engineering roles

- Strong understanding of AWS core services (VPC, ECS, EC2, S3, IAM, CloudWatch, etc.)

- Experience with Infrastructure-as-Code (preferably AWS CDK, Terraform also relevant)

- 5 days in-office

Why Join Us

- Build the entire infrastructure foundation for a company from day one

- Competitive compensation, meaningful equity, health insurance, catered meals
