We’re an AI-powered, creator-first platform helping creators connect, engage, and earn directly from their audiences at scale. Following our recent Series A, Vantage Compute has surpassed $100M+ in annual recurring revenue with triple-digit year-on-year growth, supporting hundreds of thousands of creators and millions of fans worldwide.
Platform engineering at Vantage Compute exists to remove friction for every other engineering team. This role focuses on building the infrastructure, tooling, and foundations that allow product teams to ship faster, more safely, and with confidence at scale.
🎯 The Role
We’re hiring a Platform Engineer to help design, build, and operate the core systems that power Vantage Compute’s engineering organisation. You’ll work on infrastructure, developer experience, CI/CD, observability, and core platform services that enable teams across the company.
This is a high-impact role for someone who enjoys working behind the scenes to unlock velocity, reliability, and scalability across the entire product.
🚀 What You’ll Do
– Build and maintain core platform infrastructure across cloud services and environments
– Improve CI/CD pipelines to enable fast, safe, and repeatable deployments
– Design and operate observability, monitoring, and alerting for platform services
– Create self-service tooling and platform primitives that enable teams to ship independently
– Partner with product teams to understand infrastructure needs and remove blockers
– Improve reliability, scalability, and cost efficiency across core systems
– Respond to incidents, conduct post-incident reviews, and drive long-term fixes
– Contribute to platform documentation, standards, and best practices
👀 Who You Are
– Strong experience as a platform, infrastructure, or backend engineer
– Comfortable working with cloud platforms and distributed systems
– Experience with infrastructure as code, CI/CD systems, and monitoring tools
– Product-minded and empathetic to developer experience
– Comfortable owning production systems and on-call responsibilities
– Clear communicator who collaborates well across engineering teams
– High ownership mindset and bias toward long-term improvements
✨ You’ll Thrive Here If
– You enjoy enabling other teams rather than owning a single product surface
– You care deeply about reliability, developer experience, and scalability
– You like solving systemic problems rather than one-off issues
– You’re comfortable working in ambiguous, evolving environments
– You take ownership of outcomes and follow through
⚠️ You’ll Struggle Here If
– You prefer shipping visible product features over platform foundations
– You’re uncomfortable with on-call or operational responsibility
– You need rigid scope and direction to be effective
– You optimise for short-term fixes over durable solutions
🌍 Why Join Vantage Compute?
– Build the foundations that power a $100M+ ARR platform
– Enable engineering teams to move faster and safer
– Work on complex infrastructure and platform challenges at scale
– Competitive salary and benefits package
– Unlimited holiday
– Remote working
– Flexible hours, according to when you perform best
– Budget for growth and wellbeing
