About the role

Ambrook is rebuilding the financial infrastructure for American family-run businesses, focusing on platform-level systems including PostgreSQL databases, GCP, internal tooling, data platforms, and agentic infrastructure to enable scalable internal and customer-facing workflows.

Responsibilities

  • Within 1 month you'll…: Build a working mental model of Ambrook's product and company infrastructure, including PostgreSQL, GCP, data systems, developer tooling, security foundations, and emerging agent infrastructure.
  • Within 1 month you'll…: Develop relationships with engineering and non-engineering stakeholders to understand how they use the platform and where it creates friction.
  • Within 1 month you'll…: Ship a meaningful infrastructure improvement to production that improves the codebase, developer experience, or internal tooling.
  • Within 1 month you'll…: Identify and prioritize platform opportunities based on conversations with the teams who depend on these systems.
  • Within 3 months you'll…: Own a platform project from discovery through production rollout that improves developer velocity, reliability, or scalability across the codebase.
  • Within 3 months you'll…: Plan and execute a production database or GCP change with safe migration, validation, observability, and rollback practices.
  • Within 3 months you'll…: Ship a useful slice of Ambrook's internal agent infrastructure, such as an interface for configuring agents, an evaluation system, or a harness for running agent loops.
  • Within 3 months you'll…: Establish a tight feedback loop with internal platform customers and use it to improve what you build.
  • Within 6 months you'll…: Expand shared agent infrastructure that supports both internal workflows and customer-facing agentic features, including reusable evals, harnesses, sandboxes, and operational tooling.
  • Within 6 months you'll…: Drive a platform roadmap informed by internal customer needs, codebase-wide opportunities, and Ambrook's standards for quality, security, and scalability.
  • Within 6 months you'll…: Deliver a substantial improvement to Ambrook's database, cloud, data, or developer infrastructure and help the broader engineering team adopt it.
  • Within 6 months you'll…: Raise the standard for infrastructure changes through clear design, careful migration planning, and production ownership.

Qualifications

  • You have built and operated production platform or infrastructure systems, with hands-on experience in PostgreSQL and GCP.
  • You have planned and run migrations at scale, including validation, observability, and rollback strategies that protect production systems and customer data.
  • You enjoy platform work and look for changes that improve the whole codebase, developer experience, or tooling rather than a single feature.
  • You treat engineers and non-engineering teams as platform customers. You learn how they work, build with empathy, and iterate from real feedback.
  • You can move quickly while defending the quality and scalability standards that shared infrastructure requires.
  • You are comfortable building the interfaces and supporting product surfaces that make infrastructure useful to internal teams.
  • You are security-minded and consider access, data handling, failure modes, and operational risk as part of ordinary engineering work.
  • Bonus: You have built infrastructure for agentic systems, such as evals, agent loops, harnesses, or sandboxes, rather than only building individual agents.
  • Bonus: Experience working directly on application security or infrastructure security.
  • Bonus: Experience building financial products or systems where auditability and data integrity matter.
