Lead Platform Infrastructure Engineer

Stuut is transforming accounts receivable for B2B companies—making collections smarter and faster for companies that have historically relied on manual processes that are labor intensive and costly. Our platform is gaining traction with finance teams across industrials, chemicals, and manufacturing sectors from Fortune 10 brands to scaling midmarkets. We're backed by top-tier investors including a16z, Khosla, Activant, 1984 Ventures, Page One and Microsoft.

The Role

We’re hiring a Lead Platform Infrastructure Engineer to own the architecture, reliability, security, and evolution of Stuut’s cloud platform. You’ll build the infrastructure foundation that allows us to serve increasingly complex enterprise customers across regions, cloud providers, and regulatory environments.

Today, Stuut operates a multi-tenant platform on AWS. As we grow, you’ll lead our expansion into new deployment models—including Azure-hosted and sovereign environments—while ensuring our platform remains secure, reliable, observable, and easy for engineers to operate.

This is a high-impact role for someone who combines deep infrastructure expertise with a pragmatic, hands-on builder’s mindset. You’ll set technical direction, write production-quality infrastructure code, work closely with application engineers, security teams, customers, and external partners, and help build the platform team as Stuut scales.

What You’ll Do

• Own Stuut’s Platform Architecture: Set the technical direction for our cloud infrastructure across AWS, Azure, and future regional or customer-managed deployments.
• Build Sovereign and Regional Environments: Design and launch isolated data planes for customers with data residency, encryption, operational access, and sovereignty requirements—including deployments in the UAE.
• Automate Everything: Build reusable Terraform modules, deployment pipelines, policies, and internal tooling that make new environments repeatable, secure, and easy to operate.
• Drive Reliability: Establish clear standards for availability, observability, incident response, capacity planning, disaster recovery, and business continuity.
• Strengthen Security and Compliance: Partner with internal and external stakeholders to implement identity, networking, key management, data protection, audit logging, and infrastructure controls for enterprise and regulated customers.
• Evolve Our Multi-Tenant Architecture: Work with application engineers to define strong tenant boundaries, regional data isolation, and safe control-plane and data-plane interfaces.
• Lead Cloud Expansion: Own the technical assessment and execution of AWS-to-Azure and multi-cloud initiatives, including service selection, migration planning, testing, and production rollout.
• Enable Engineering Teams: Build paved paths, documentation, and self-service tooling that allow product engineers to ship quickly without compromising reliability or security.
• Manage Critical Partners: Evaluate and work with cloud providers, security vendors, and specialist implementation partners while retaining internal ownership of Stuut’s architecture and infrastructure.
• Build the Team: Help recruit, mentor, and grow a high-caliber platform engineering team as Stuut’s infrastructure needs expand.

You Might Be a Fit If You…

• Have 7+ years of experience in platform engineering, infrastructure, SRE, cloud architecture, or a similar role, including meaningful technical ownership in a high-growth environment.
• Have deep, hands-on experience operating production systems on AWS and strong experience with Azure infrastructure, networking, identity, and managed services.
• Are highly skilled with Terraform or another infrastructure-as-code framework and have built reusable infrastructure delivered through CI/CD.
• Have designed and operated Kubernetes or container-based platforms, managed databases, object storage, queues, caches, and production networking at scale.
• Understand multi-tenant SaaS architecture and can reason carefully about tenant isolation, regional data boundaries, encryption, access controls, and failure domains.
• Have experience building secure cloud foundations, including IAM, secrets and key management, private networking, centralized logging, vulnerability management, and policy enforcement.
• Have supported enterprise security or compliance programs and can translate customer, regulatory, and audit requirements into practical technical controls.
• Are comfortable moving between architecture and execution—you can define a multi-year platform direction and still debug a failing deployment or production incident yourself.
• Communicate clearly with engineers, executives, customers, auditors, and external partners.
• Thrive in early-stage, high-growth environments where you can build systems and processes from the ground up.
• Take ownership, make pragmatic tradeoffs, and have a bias toward building durable solutions.
• Nice to Have: Experience with Azure Landing Zones, Microsoft Entra ID, Azure Policy, confidential computing, sovereign cloud deployments, customer-managed cloud environments, or AWS-to-Azure migrations.
• Nice to Have: Experience operating infrastructure for fintech, AI-powered applications, or other security-sensitive enterprise software.
