What that looks like day to day
As a Platform Engineer at incident, you own everything that isn’t the product itself: infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, databases, and the systems that let our product engineers ship fast without thinking twice about what’s underneath them. It’s a genuinely varied role. One day you’re tracing a scaling issue through a database, the next you’re rethinking a Terraform module, the next you’re pairing with a product engineer to unblock something that’s been quietly slowing them down.
Right now, scaling is front and centre. We’ve got more product engineers building more of the product than ever, and more customers putting real load on it, so the work you do directly shapes whether that growth feels smooth or painful.
You’ll work closest with our product engineers, day in and day out. You’re part of a small, three-person platform team, which means your fingerprints are on everything. There’s no hiding in a big team here, and no waiting for someone else to pick things up.
Like the rest of engineering, we lean on tools like Claude Code and Cursor to move faster, not as a gimmick, but because it genuinely changes what’s possible day to day.
