PCT partners with venture-backed technology companies looking for Infrastructure Engineers to build the systems, platforms, and tooling that enable engineering teams and products to operate reliably at scale.

Infrastructure opportunities across our portfolio range from early-stage companies building their foundational systems to later-stage organizations tackling significant challenges around scale, reliability, performance, developer productivity, and cloud infrastructure.

What You Might Work On
  • Design, build, and operate scalable cloud and production infrastructure.

  • Improve the reliability, availability, performance, and efficiency of production systems.

  • Build internal platforms and tooling that improve developer productivity and deployment velocity.

  • Develop and maintain CI/CD, observability, monitoring, and incident-response systems.

  • Automate infrastructure provisioning, deployment, and operational workflows.

  • Partner with application, security, data, and product engineering teams on infrastructure requirements.

  • Identify and eliminate bottlenecks as products and engineering organizations scale.

  • Help establish infrastructure architecture, standards, and operational best practices.

What We're Looking For

While requirements vary across our client companies, strong candidates often bring:

  • Experience building and operating production infrastructure at meaningful scale.

  • Strong knowledge of modern cloud environments and infrastructure technologies.

  • Experience with infrastructure-as-code, containers, orchestration, CI/CD, observability, or related tooling.

  • Strong software engineering and automation skills.

  • An understanding of distributed systems, networking, reliability, and production operations.

  • A pragmatic approach to balancing reliability, scalability, developer experience, and cost.

  • Strong ownership and an interest in solving foundational technical problems.

When you apply, tell us about the infrastructure challenges you've worked on, the technologies and environments you're strongest in, and the types of companies or technical problems you're interested in next. We'll use that information to identify opportunities across our client portfolio that may be a strong fit.
