Infrastructure Lead

Anrok is pioneering the way in addressing a crucial challenge for businesses worldwide: navigating the complex realm of sales tax and VAT. As tax regulations continue to change and become more intricate, companies require a dependable and automated solution to manage risk and ensure global compliance doesn’t become a drag on their revenue. Anrok’s cutting-edge platform seamlessly integrates with various billing and payment systems, streamlining sales tax monitoring, registration, reconciliation, and filing across multiple jurisdictions.

In this hands-on role, you’ll lead the Infrastructure team to design, build, and operate the systems that support our product and the engineers who build it. We use GCP, Pulumi, Postgres, and TypeScript, but prior experience is not required.

In this role, you will:

• Set the technical strategy for our infrastructure and drive technical decisions to achieve it.

• Collaborate with other engineering teams and cross functionally to meet company goals.

• Foster a collaborative and healthy culture of feedback, opportunity, and growth.

• Expected time split:

  • 50% code and technical design review

  • 25% coding

  • 25% planning, communicating, and mentoring

What excites us:

• You have a strong technical background, with 7+ years of experience in software engineering, including:

  • Managing cloud-deployed software at scale using config-as-code

  • Operating relational databases and maintaining high availability

  • Refactoring application code to better leverage our infrastructure

• You have 3+ years experience as the manager or technical lead of an infrastructure team.

• You have a security mindset and think carefully about edge cases.

• Your designs consider current and future needs, technical debt, and maintenance, and you can clearly articulate the tradeoffs.

• You level up the people around you by sharing your knowledge and experience.

What we offer:

• The equity upside of an early-stage startup with the product-market fit of a later-stage company.

• Daily lunch and snacks for those working out of our San Francisco office.

• Medical, dental, and vision insurance covered 100%.

• One Medical membership covered, flexible sick benefits and more.

• Annual learning and development stipend for books, online courses, and conferences, as well as a curious team to share your learnings with.

• Bi-annual team offsites and optional quarterly gatherings at the SF HQ office.

• Home office setup stipend to ensure you have the equipment you need to thrive at work.

For employees based in the San Francisco Bay Area, we follow a hybrid model where we come into the office 3 days a week to collaborate in person. For employees located outside of the San Francisco Bay Area, you will work remotely full-time.
