About the role
About Engine
At Engine, we’re transforming business travel into something personalized, rewarding, and simple. For too long, managing travel and spend has been overwhelming and fragmented — we’re here to change that. We believe the future of travel should be seamless and powered by technology that delights customers at every step. That’s why we’re building a platform that brings together corporate travel, a powerful charge card, and modern spend management in one place.
To make this vision real, we’re looking for exceptional, mission-driven people to help redefine how businesses manage and experience travel.
More than 30,000 companies already rely on Engine to support over 1 million travelers and billions in annual bookings each year. Cash flow positive with rapid growth, we pair exclusive Engine-only rates, industry-leading rewards, and intelligent automation to help businesses save money while delivering world-class personalization and convenience.
Backed by Telescope Partners, Blackstone, and Permira, Engine has been recognized as one of the fastest-growing travel and fintech platforms in North America, with honors including the Deloitte Fast 500 and Built In’s Best Places to Work.
What You’ll Do
- Lead the technical evolution of the control plane — not just keep it running, but decide where it goes next.
- Design and ship platform primitives (Terraform modules, pipeline templates, account/networking patterns) that feature teams adopt because they’re better than the alternative — not because they’re mandated.
- Partner with embedded infra engineers to identify recurring friction across verticals and turn it into self-serve capability.
- Own the boring-but-critical work: AWS Organization hygiene, CI/CD reliability, vendor contracts and integration health, incident response on shared infrastructure.
- Mentor across the discipline. We hold infra standups twice a week — that’s where you’ll teach, learn, and stay aligned with the embedded engineers.
- Reduce the SDLC step-function count. Every new approval gate, every “ask infra first” workflow is a tax — your job is to lower it.
What We’re Looking For
Required
- 8+ years building and operating production cloud infrastructure, with deep AWS expertise (multi-account, networking, IAM, security boundaries).
