Job Description

Engineering Manager, Infrastructure Engineering

Whatnot

• Lead and mentor a team of highly skilled software engineers, supporting their technical growth, execution, and long-term career development. • Set technical direction and quality standards for the team while empowering senior ICs to own design and architecture decisions. Roll up your sleeves when needed and course-correct when technical decisions are heading in the wrong direction. • Develop and execute the strategic roadmap for reliability engineering at Whatnot. • Build and operationalize best practices that empower product and platform teams to design and run reliable systems, incorporating SLOs, monitoring standards, and incident response patterns into their development workflows. • Own the strategic roadmap for reliability tooling, including incident response systems, SLO measurement platforms, and developer-facing reliability libraries, while partnering with senior engineers on architecture and design. • Lead the team in designing and building traffic control systems (distributed semaphores, rate limiting, circuit breaking) as reusable platform components consumed across Whatnot's service fleet. • Lead the design and execution of load testing at scale, validating resilience against sustained and bursty growth scenarios, and providing tooling that enables teams to contribute new load test scenarios. • Drive continuous improvement in incident detection and mitigation, including early warning systems and foundational observability instrumentation. • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to influence product and architectural decisions that improve overall reliability and customer impact. • Partner with Infrastructure and Engineering leadership to shape reliability strategy and investment priorities across the organization. • Build a culture of learning and continuous improvement through blameless incident analysis, proactive reliability investment, and systematic reduction of repeated failure patterns. • Scale the team through hiring, mentorship, leadership development, and thoughtful organizational design.

Job Requirements

  • 10+ years of experience in infrastructure or platform engineering, including 5+ years managing engineering teams, with experience leading managers or multiple teams a plus.
  • You see reliability engineering as a software engineering discipline, not an operations function. You're energized by building tools and systems that scale impact across an engineering organization.
  • Proven track record building and operating large-scale distributed systems with strong reliability, observability, and incident response practices.
  • Deep technical grounding in one or more of: SLO design, monitoring/alerting, incident tooling, traffic control mechanisms, load and chaos testing, or platform engineering.
  • Experience leading teams that ship developer-facing platforms, frameworks, or internal tools, not just operate infrastructure.
  • Strong software engineering fundamentals with a passion for improving engineering practices across an organization.
  • Demonstrated ability to guide teams through complex system challenges, large-scale migrations, and longer-term reliability initiatives.
  • Exceptional communication and leadership skills, with the ability to influence technical direction across teams and organizations.
  • A passion for enabling teams to build fast while building safely through well-designed tooling and proactive detection mechanisms.
  • Experience leading multiple teams, managing managers, or serving as a site lead is a plus.

Benefits

  • EOE - Whatnot is proud to be an Equal Opportunity Employer. We value diversity, and we do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, parental status, disability status, or any other status protected by local law.

Senior Infrastructure Engineer

Scrunch

Scrunch AI is the leading platform for helping brands gain visibility in AI search results. As discovery shifts from traditional SEO to large language models and AI agents, Scrunch provides marketers with the platform to understand how their brand is being interpreted — and the necessary technology infrastructure to shape it.

Full TimeRemoteTeam 0Since 2023

About Scrunch Scrunch, a venture-backed startup, is on a mission to bring brands to an AI-first future—where people increasingly rely on LLMs to discover, understand, and act on information that matters to them. As AI search and conversational agents replace traditional web search and browsing, Scrunch helps marketing teams rethink how their products and services are discovered and surfaced on AI platforms like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and more—working with AI platforms, not against them. This shift represents the biggest change to marketing since the dawn of the internet. With $26M in backing from Mayfield Fund, Decibel, Homebrew, GTM Capital, and leading Silicon Valley founders and operators, Scrunch has scaled rapidly since commercial launch. Today, more than 500 paying brands—including Fortune 500 companies like Lenovo, category-defining brands like Skims, and breakout startups like Clerk—use the platform. About the Role We're looking for a senior Infrastructure Engineer to join our team. This is a high-ownership role responsible for designing, building, and operating the foundational systems that power Scrunch's platform – from cloud infrastructure and developer tooling all the way to observability and reliability. Infrastructure at Scrunch is business-critical: our customers depend on it, and you'll have real impact shaping how we scale. What We're Looking For: For this role, we'd like to see candidates that: - Have experience working in a high-velocity software development organization. - Have experience designing, building, and operating cloud services at scale, preferably on GCP. - Have deployed and operated edge compute functions, and understand when it makes sense to run logic at the edge versus further back in the stack. - Can treat infrastructure like software versioned, tested, and deployed through automation rather than one-off console clicks. Experience with Terraform or similar IaC tools is a plus. - Posses a solid understanding of database performance and scaling patterns, and have hands-on experience identifying bottlenecks and addressing them before they become outages. - Familiarity with workflow orchestration tools or job queue systems such as Prefect, Airflow, Temporal, Inngest, or similar, and are comfortable designing reliable, retryable async pipelines. - Have a strong foundation in building observable systems, including structured logging, distributed tracing, metrics dashboards, and alerting. - Are comfortable writing production-quality code (we mostly use python) and approach infrastructure work with a software engineering mindset. Scrunch is an equal opportunity employer. We welcome people of all backgrounds, experiences, perspectives, and identities. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status.
