Kit is the email marketing platform experts choose to grow their audience, deepen their relationships, and build a business around the work they love. For coaches, YouTubers, authors, podcasters, and other creatives, there isn’t a better marketing hub to rely on to grow audiences, automate email marketing, and sell digital products — all within one platform. More importantly, there isn’t a team more committed to helping creators earn a living. We’re on a mission to help creators earn $1 billion using our creator marketing platform. We have always been 100% independent and 100% remote.
We’re also embracing AI thoughtfully — both in how we build and how we hire to ensure our team is adaptable, creative, and ready for what’s next.
We’re looking for a Senior Infrastructure Engineer II to take ownership of a large share of Kit’s core infrastructure: databases, Kubernetes, version upgrades, platform tooling, and day-to-day support. You’ll also build the paved paths that let engineers, non-engineers, and AI agents test and ship changes safely.
This is a full-time Individual Contributor role for an experienced infrastructure engineer who likes owning production systems end to end, takes on-call seriously, leans into automation and enjoys making other people’s work easier.
Once you’re ramped up, you’ll join a three-person on-call rotation, which works out to roughly one week in three.
First Week: Get access to our AWS accounts, Kubernetes clusters, monitoring, and CI/CD pipelines. Ship your first improvement, such as a version upgrade or a fix to a gap in monitoring. Shadow on-call shifts. First Six Months: Own core infrastructure areas end to end: databases, Kubernetes, version upgrades, and platform tooling. Take your full share of on-call, which you’ll start by the end of your first quarter. Ship a first paved path, such as a sandbox environment where AI agents or non-engineers can safely build and test changes.
- First Year: You’re the primary owner of a large part of Kit’s core infrastructure, and you lead projects in it without needing direction. Your paved paths are in regular use by engineers, non-engineers, and AI agents. You’ve built observability good enough for AI agents to handle some on-call load. Running production infrastructure on AWS at scale,
including managed relational databases, networking, and load balancing
- Operating Kubernetes in production: upgrades, capacity planning, and troubleshooting
- Building monitoring and alerting that catches real problems early and doesn’t page people for noise
- Cutting cloud costs through right-sizing and reserved capacity without hurting reliability
- Writing clear runbooks, docs, and decision write-ups
- Nice to have: experience with Cloudflare, ephemeral or sandbox environments, or email sending infrastructure
Experiences
- Around 7 or more years in infrastructure, platform, DevOps, or SRE roles
- Carrying a pager for systems you owned, and making that on-call rotation quieter over time
- Leading a major upgrade or migration, such as a database or Kubernetes version upgrade, with little or no customer impact
- Building self-service tooling or paved paths that other engineers actually adopted
- You build quality into the work. Upgrades have rollback plans, maintenance windows are planned around customers, and “good enough” is a decision, not a default.
- You leverage AI effectively. AI helps you increase quality and velocity where it matters most. You write things down so the next person, or the next AI agent, can build on your work.
- You use AI thoughtfully. It’s part of how you work, and you help others adopt it without creating new risks.
- Wanting a well-defined backlog handed to you each week. Preferring not to be on call. On-call is a core part of this role, shared across a team of three.
- You are skeptical of AI’s capabilities, or conversely use AI without good judgement and accountability.
- We’re 100% remote with team members across the globe. We work mostly on East Coast time—so if you’re based on the West Coast of the United States, Europe, or Asia, you might have a few early mornings or late evenings. This role is part of a three-person on-call rotation,
so during your on-call week you’ll need to be able to respond to pages outside your usual working hours.
We believe PTO should always take priority over on-call. We schedule on-call around people’s lives, not the other way around. On-call is a shared responsibility, but taking time off should never be a challenge
