The posting

Burq started with an ambitious mission: to turn the complex process of offering delivery into a simple, turnkey solution. It’s a big mission, and now we want you to join us in making it even bigger. 🚀

We’re proud to be recognized as one of and a , awards that highlight how we’re redefining the future of logistics while empowering our partners to grow.

Backed by leading Silicon Valley investors like Village Global, the fund whose investors include Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, Reid Hoffman, and Sara Blakely, we’ve built a world-class team across the globe.

We operate at scale but remain small enough for every person to have a massive impact. There’s a lot of important work ahead, and joining Burq means the opportunity to grow faster than ever while doing the most meaningful work of your career.

Requirements

We are looking for a Senior Platform Engineer to be the founding member of Burq's Platform team — the function that owns our engineering foundations: infrastructure, security, CI/CD, and reliability.

Right now, our infrastructure runs on AWS with a combination of ECS, RDS, ElastiCache, SQS, and Step Functions. We have a strong contractor advising us, but we need a full-time engineer who can own this domain, execute on a significant infrastructure roadmap, and make every product team faster as a result.

This is a high-leverage, high-ownership role. You will be designing and building the platform that Burq scales on for the next several years.

Infrastructure

  • Own and execute the AWS account split — separating production, staging, and development into clean isolated environments
  • Lead the Aurora DB production migration with support from our infrastructure advisor
  • Manage and evolve our ECS Fargate services, RDS clusters, ElastiCache, SQS queues, and ALB configuration
  • Own Terraform — infrastructure as code, not click-ops

Security & Access

  • Harden IAM — developer permission sets, production access controls, least-privilege enforcement
  • Audit and lock down public S3 buckets
  • Enable AWS Config and Security Hub across all accounts
  • Own SOC 2 Type 2 readiness maintenance in partnership with Sprinto
  • Coordinate external penetration test cadence

CI/CD & Developer Experience

  • Own and improve our GitHub Actions CI/CD pipelines — build times, test reliability, deployment velocity
  • Build out PR stack environments so product teams can test independently
  • Drive the local development stack initiative — Docker Compose-based environments that replace shared preprod
  • Integrate AI-assisted testing into the CI pipeline

Observability & Reliability

  • Own CloudWatch dashboards spanning ALB, ECS, RDS, ElastiCache, SQS, and target group health
  • Lead post-incident reviews and ensure every incident produces a runbook entry
  • Partner with product teams to distribute platform work as a standing sprint allocation — not a separate queue

Requirements

  • 5+ years of engineering experience with 3+ years focused on infrastructure and platform engineering
  • Deep AWS expertise — ECS, RDS, S3, IAM, CloudWatch, SQS, Lambda, account architecture
  • Terraform proficiency — you write infrastructure as code and know why it matters
  • Strong CI/CD background — GitHub Actions, deployment pipelines, environment management
  • Security-minded — you know how to harden systems without creating friction for product engineers
  • Experience with observability tooling — CloudWatch, Datadog, or equivalen

Benefits

Investing in you 🙏

  • Fully Remote
  • Medical, Vision and Dental Insurance
  • Reimbursement for educational courses

At Burq, we value diversity. We are an equal opportunity employer: we do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
