About Pillar

Pillar is building the next-generation commodity risk management stack for the $10T physical economy. We combine real-time marketdata with AI-powered exposure modeling and automated trade generation to arm operators with precise protection from volatility. From instant execution to continuous monitoring, alerts, and recommendations, Pillar turns complex market risk into a fully managed, always-on hedging engine.

We were founded in 2023 by the youngest macro market-maker at Barclays and a trading systems engineer at Coinbase, and have raised over $20M in capital from Andreesen Horowitz (a16z), Crucible Capital, Neo, DST Global and more.

What You’ll Do

  • Expand and Own the AWS Cloud: You will take full ownership of our AWS environment. We aren't just looking for someone to keep the lights on; we want you to architect, scale, and optimize our cloud footprint to support new services, ensuring our AWS presence is robust, cost-effective, and deeply integrated with our core trading systems.
  • Architect the Infrastructure Stack: You will lead our transition to a full Infrastructure as Code (IaC) model. Your goal is to eliminate manual configuration by building out a sophisticated, modular Terraform stack. We want a world where our entire hybrid footprint—from cloud instances to colocation networking—is defined, tested, and deployed through code.
  • System Hardening & Security: You’ll be the gatekeeper for our environments. This means managing the full lifecycle of container security, CVE remediation, and hitting our SOC2 milestones without slowing down the team.
  • Observability Architecture: Beyond just setting up dashboards, you will design our monitoring strategy using to catch bottlenecks before they become outages.
  • Pipeline Evolution: You'll refine our GitHub Actions and CI/CD workflows to ensure our Go, C++, and TypeScript services move from commit to production safely and instantly.
  • Reliability & Response: You'll join our on-call rotation to perform deep-dive post-mortems that ensure the same bug never bites us twice—not just to patch things.

What We are Looking For

  • Infrastructure Expert: You have a deep understanding of cloud services, how to scale them, and how to manage them.
  • DevOps & Internal Tooling Master: You excel at building developer-focused tools and automation that make the entire engineering org more productive. You've built CI/CD pipelines, deployment systems, and internal platforms that engineers love to use.
  • Networking Savvy: You understand the "plumbing"—DNS, VPNs, firewalls, and load balancers—especially in the context of hybrid-cloud connectivity.
  • Experience: 0–5 years in SRE, DevOps, or Infrastructure Engineering, with a burning desire to own the stack from the ground up.
  • Demonstrated ability to navigate ambiguity, learn quickly, and independently figure things out in fast-moving environments.
  • Exceptional problem solving skills and ability to break down and tackle complex tasks.

Benefits

  • 💰 Competitive Salary & Equity
  • 📈 401(k) Program
  • ⚕️ Health, Dental, Vision and Life Insurance
  • ⌚ Unlimited PTO and Flexible Hours
  • 🍣 Paid lunch, coffee, snacks (and dinner if you’re staying late)
  • 🏋️ Monthly Gym Stipend
  • 🌄 Regular Team Off-Sites

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.
