Our Mission

At Omnea, we’re reinventing how enterprise businesses operate, starting with the most painful parts: procurement – where a single purchase can drag on for months, trigger 50+ emails, and pull in Finance, Legal, Security, and IT just to get something approved.

We’ve raised $75M from Khosla Ventures, Insight Partners, and Accel to change that. Our AI-native platform connects every person, step, and system so buying is fast, safe, and efficient – one place to request, automated approvals and renewals, real-time supplier risk, and complete spend visibility.

The opportunity is massive. Every enterprise on the planet has this problem and nobody has solved it. We’ve 10x’d ARR to double-digit millions in 18 months and are trusted by global enterprises like Spotify, MongoDB, Monzo, and Albertsons. We’re now the 4th fastest growing startup in Europe.

Our team previously scaled Tessian (cybersecurity tech, backed by Sequoia, Balderton, Accel, acquired post-Series C), and our team includes ex-founders operators who’ve grown unicorns, shipped world-class products, and executed at the highest levels. You’ll work alongside leaders like Ben, Abs, Sabrina, and Rebe.

Omnea deploys multiple times a day, serves enterprise customers who expect rock-solid reliability, and is scaling 10x. Our platform team owns the infrastructure, tooling, and developer experience that underpins all of this. We're adding a hands-on Platform Engineer to the team to improve our CI/CD, scale our serverless infrastructure, strengthen observability, and make every product engineer more effective.

What We're Looking For

We're hiring at both Level 3 (Senior) and Level 4 (Lead). For calibration, candidates typically bring 5+ years of platform engineering experience in high-growth, cloud-native SaaS environments, but we care more about impact than years.

You'll join an experienced platform team and contribute across the full stack, from infrastructure-as-code and deployment pipelines to developer tooling and occasionally product features.

What You'll Do
  • Scale our infrastructure. Design and evolve our AWS serverless architecture (including Lambda, DynamoDB, Aurora, EventBridge) for 10x growth, multi-region HA, and data residency requirements.

  • Own CI/CD and deployment. Build and improve our deployment pipelines (GitHub Actions), infrastructure-as-code (Pulumi), and release tooling so product teams can ship faster and safer.

  • Own observability. Build out monitoring, alerting, and debugging across the stack using Datadog. When something breaks, we should know before our customers do.

  • Improve developer experience. Build internal tooling, automate toil, and remove friction so engineers spend more time shipping product and less time fighting infrastructure.

  • Code and build. Contribute production-ready TypeScript across infrastructure and product features; raise the bar through solid patterns, libraries, and reviews.

What Can You Expect?
  • A strong team. You'll join a platform team of senior and staff engineers who set a high bar and will push you to do your best work.

  • Modern, cloud-native stack. Everything serverless and IaC-driven (AWS, Pulumi, TypeScript end-to-end).

  • Continuous delivery. We deploy multiple times a day. Your work determines how fast and safely the whole engineering org ships.

  • Scalability challenges. As we 10x revenue, you'll evolve infrastructure for multi-region HA, data residency, and performance at scale.

  • Customer impact. The reliability and speed you build is what lets us win and keep enterprise accounts.

  • Massive ownership. You own problems end-to-end, from brainstorming through to production.

  • Collaboration & autonomy. Plenty of heads-down technical work, but also close partnership with product engineers and engineering leadership.

About You
  • Platform engineer & builder. You design reliable infrastructure and write clean production code (TypeScript or similar). You've built and maintained CI/CD pipelines, IaC, and developer tooling at scale.

  • Cloud-native. Deep knowledge of AWS (Lambda, DynamoDB, EventBridge, IAM, networking) or equivalent cloud-native experience. You understand serverless and its trade-offs.

  • Developer-first. You think about engineers as your customers. You automate toil, improve feedback loops, and care deeply about making other people productive.

  • Commercially minded. You understand that infrastructure exists to serve the product and the business. You make trade-offs with that in mind.

  • Bias for action. You iterate quickly, ship pragmatically, and automate everything.

  • Culture carrier. You coach teammates, share knowledge freely, and keep calm when things break.

Nice-to-haves

  • Experience with Pulumi or similar IaC frameworks.

  • Hands-on Datadog experience.

  • Experience building internal developer platforms or tools adopted org-wide.

  • Open-source contributions to infrastructure or developer tooling projects.
