Job Details

As a Platform Engineer at Privy, you will help define how we build, deploy, and scale services that power tens of millions of users across thousands of customers—all within a rapidly growing engineering team.

We believe that platform engineering is where backend engineering meets infrastructure engineering; it's about building the right abstractions, APIs, and developer tools that make shipping code seamless and scalable.

What you'll do

  • Build and evolve core backend services and API platforms that serve billions of requests per month

  • Design and maintain the systems that underpin our engineering velocity—deployment pipelines, CI/CD, and internal developer tools

  • Lead efforts in observability, performance tuning, and reliability across our stack

  • Shape our approach to scaling and securing multi-tenant architecture

  • Advocate for strategic technical investments, balancing near-term shipping speed with long-term sustainability

  • Design and implement product features end-to-end, driven by user needs

What we're looking for

  • Experience building and maintaining a production system at scale

  • An understanding of modern API development best practices and design

  • Experience in building data models, managing database migrations and best practices, and infrastructure configuration

  • Experience writing delightful developer documentation

  • As comfortable writing APIs and logic as you are writing infrastructure-as-code

Bonus points if you have...

  • Experience with React, Typescript, Next.js, AWS/Terraform, Vercel

  • Past experience working in authentication or security
