Until now, our infrastructure has been built and maintained by the core engineering team alongside everything else - you'll be the first person whose entire mandate is to make it fast, observable, and bulletproof. Our platform touches gaming, finance, and social at scale, which means there's no margin for downtime. You'll define how we build, ship, and scale from the ground up - CI/CD pipelines, the databases under our highest-traffic paths, and the telemetry that tells us what's actually happening in production. This is a greenfield mandate: you're not inheriting an infra org, you're starting one. As we scale toward our next order of magnitude of growth, you'll set the standards every future infrastructure hire builds on.\nWhat You'll Do\nEstablish Triumph's infrastructure function - set the standards, tooling, and practices that the team and future hires will build on.\n\nOwn and evolve our CI/CD pipelines, making it fast and safe for a growing team to ship continuously.\n\nTake end-to-end ownership of scaling our backend systems, identifying bottlenecks before they become incidents and designing for the next 10x rather than the last one.\n\nDrive our database strategy as a deep Postgres expert - query optimization, connection pooling, replication and read routing, schema evolution, and keeping our highest-traffic data paths healthy under load.\n\nBuild out observability and telemetry so the team can see, understand, and act on system behavior in real time - metrics, tracing, structured logging, and meaningful alerting.\n\nPartner with backend engineers to harden the systems that power our core business, from incident response to the architectural decisions that prevent the next one.\n\nQualifications\nStrong experience operating and scaling large production systems, with a track record of true ownership - you don't just build it, you keep it healthy.\n\nDeep Postgres knowledge: you understand query planning, indexing, connection management, and what actually breaks at scale (Go and AlloyDB experience is a plus).\n\nHands-on experience designing and maintaining CI/CD pipelines.\n\nFluency with observability and telemetry tooling, and an instinct for what to measure.\n\nComfort being the first and only person in a function - you're excited to set direction rather than inherit it, and you drive work to completion without a playbook handed to you.\n\nTenacity, pragmatism, and high agency - you prioritize the most impactful work and drive it to completion.\n\nWhy Triumph?\nHigh growth. Build a high-scale consumer platform that touches gaming, finance, and social with the autonomy to set our infrastructure direction.\n\nHigh agency. As our founding infrastructure hire, you'll own a large surface area from day one, with significant opportunity for leadership and growth.\n\nHigh energy. Passionate team who are proud of our work and velocity (16x year over year growth).\n\nCompetitive salary and benefits. $400/mo lunch credit, healthcare, vision, dental, 401k, etc.\n\nOur team gathers 5 days a week at Triumph's headquarters at Levi's Plaza in San Francisco.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3190,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["401k plan"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Commerce"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-05-25T21:02:23Z"},{"event":"reopen","at":"2026-10-26T10:16:15Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":5,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.166,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":155,"expected_fill_days":26,"reasons":["conf:1","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-28T05:59:10Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":400000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/triumph-infrastructure-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/triumph-infrastructure-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-28T21:00:13Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":28971,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-29T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":3823995},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=3823995"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Ftriumph-infrastructure-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Ftriumph-infrastructure-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Ftriumph-infrastructure-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/triumph-infrastructure-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Ftriumph-infrastructure-engineer"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":44083}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"triumphlabs.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":44083},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
