Job description

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 https://sifted.eu/leaderboards/sifted-future-50-2025 in Europe & the Sunday Times' #1 Best Medium Sized Tech Company To Work for.

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 https://www.linkedin.com/in/ben-freeman-a8542166/, Abs https://www.linkedin.com/in/abhirukt/, Sabrina https://www.linkedin.com/in/scastiglione/, and Rebe https://www.linkedin.com/in/rebecatristan/.

WHY WE NEED A SOFTWARE ENGINEER (PLATFORM) NOW

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 (Staff). 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 wi
