Infrastructure Lead

Anrok is tackling a key challenge for all Internet businesses today: navigating the changing landscape of tax. In the last few years, software businesses have gone from not having to worry about sales tax, to needing to monitor their exposure, calculate local sales tax rates, and file returns in over 20 US states and many countries worldwide.

So much of our economy today and tomorrow exists online. The internet economy has grown 6x over the last 10 years and software development productivity is only positioned to accelerate. Companies should be able to transact with customers everywhere. Anrok is behind the scenes to make compliant digital commerce a reality for companies big and small.

Anrok connects with billing and payment systems to automate sales tax compliance end-to-end. We have raised over $50M from leading investors like Sequoia, Index, and Khosla Ventures.

In this hands-on role, you'll lead the Infrastructure team to design, build, and operate the systems that support our product and the engineers who build it. We use GCP, Pulumi, Postgres, and TypeScript, but prior experience is not required.

In this role, you will:

• Lead the team that improves Anrok's reliability, security, scalability, and performance.

• Set the technical strategy for our infrastructure and drive technical decisions to achieve it.

• Collaborate with other engineering teams and cross functionally to meet company goals.

• Foster a collaborative and healthy culture of feedback, opportunity, and growth.

• Expected time split:

  • 50% code and technical design review

  • 25% coding

  • 25% planning, communicating, and mentoring

What excites us:

• You have a strong technical background, with 7+ years of experience in software engineering, including:

  • Managing cloud-deployed software at scale using config-as-code

  • Operating relational databases and maintaining high availability

  • Refactoring application code to better leverage our infrastructure

• You have 3+ years experience as the manager or technical lead of an infrastructure team.

• You have a security mindset and think carefully about edge cases.

• Your designs consider current and future needs, technical debt, and maintenance, and you can clearly articulate the tradeoffs.

• You level up the people around you by sharing your knowledge and experience.

What we offer:

• The equity upside of an early-stage startup with the product-market fit of a later-stage company.

• Daily lunch and snacks for those working out of our San Francisco office.

• Medical, dental, and vision insurance covered 100%.

• One Medical membership covered, flexible sick benefits and more.

• Annual learning and development stipend for books, online courses, and conferences, as well as a curious team to share your learnings with.

• Annual team offsites and in-person opportunities around our growing Anrok hubs

• Home office setup stipend to ensure you have the equipment you need to thrive at work.

For employees based in the San Francisco Bay Area, we follow a hybrid model where we come into the office 3 days a week to collaborate in person. For employees located outside of the San Francisco Bay Area, you will work remotely full-time.
