The posting

The Role

As Triumph's first dedicated Infrastructure Engineer, you'll own the foundation that everything else runs on. Until now, our infrastructure has been built and maintained by the core engineering team alongside everything else — you'll be the first person whose entire mandate is to make it fast, observable, and bulletproof. Our platform touches gaming, finance, and social at scale, which means there's no margin for downtime. You'll define how we build, ship, and scale from the ground up — CI/CD pipelines, the databases under our highest-traffic paths, and the telemetry that tells us what's actually happening in production. This is a greenfield mandate: you're not inheriting an infra org, you're starting one. As we scale toward our next order of magnitude of growth, you'll set the standards every future infrastructure hire builds on.

What You'll Do

- Establish Triumph's infrastructure function — set the standards, tooling, and practices that the team and future hires will build on.

- Own and evolve our CI/CD pipelines, making it fast and safe for a growing team to ship continuously.

- Take end-to-end ownership of scaling our backend systems, identifying bottlenecks before they become incidents and designing for the next 10x rather than the last one.

- Drive our database strategy as a deep Postgres expert — query optimization, connection pooling, replication and read routing, schema evolution, and keeping our highest-traffic data paths healthy under load.

- Build out observability and telemetry so the team can see, understand, and act on system behavior in real time — metrics, tracing, structured logging, and meaningful alerting.

- Partner with backend engineers to harden the systems that power our core business, from incident response to the architectural decisions that prevent the next one.

Qualifications

- Strong experience operating and scaling large production systems, with a track record of true ownership — you don't just build it, you keep it healthy.

- Deep Postgres knowledge: you understand query planning, indexing, connection management, and what actually breaks at scale (Go and AlloyDB experience is a plus).

- Hands-on experience designing and maintaining CI/CD pipelines.

- Fluency with observability and telemetry tooling, and an instinct for what to measure.

- Comfort being the first and only person in a function — you're excited to set direction rather than inherit it, and you drive work to completion without a playbook handed to you.

- Tenacity, pragmatism, and high agency — you prioritize the most impactful work and drive it to completion.

Why Triumph?

- High growth. Build a high-scale consumer platform that touches gaming, finance, and social with the autonomy to set our infrastructure direction.

- High agency. As our founding infrastructure hire, you'll own a large surface area from day one, with significant opportunity for leadership and growth.

- High energy. Passionate team who are proud of our work and velocity (16x year over year growth).

- Competitive salary and benefits. $400/mo lunch credit, healthcare, vision, dental, 401k, etc.

Our team gathers 5 days a week at Triumph's headquarters at Levi's Plaza in San Francisco.

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.
