Platform Engineer
Role Summary
Join Omnea as a Platform Engineer to enhance CI/CD processes and serverless infrastructure in a fast-growing tech startup.
About the Organisation
At Omnea, we’re reinventing how enterprise businesses operate, starting with the most painful parts: procurement – where a single purchase can drag on for months, trigger 50+ emails, and pull in Finance, Legal, Security, and IT just to get something approved.
We’ve raised $75M from Khosla Ventures, Insight Partners, and Accel to change that. Our AI-native platform connects every person, step, and system so buying is fast, safe, and efficient – one place to request, automated approvals and renewals, real-time supplier risk, and complete spend visibility.
The opportunity is massive. Every enterprise on the planet has this problem and nobody has solved it. We’ve 10x’d ARR to double-digit millions in 18 months and are trusted by global enterprises like Spotify, MongoDB, Monzo, and Albertsons. We’re now the 4th fastest growing startup in Europe & the Sunday Times' #1 Best Medium Sized Tech Company To Work for.
Our team previously scaled Tessian (cybersecurity tech, backed by Sequoia, Balderton, Accel, acquired post-Series C), and our team includes ex-founders operators who’ve grown unicorns, shipped world-class products, and executed at the highest levels. You’ll work alongside leaders like Ben, Abs, Sabrina, and Rebe.
Omnea deploys multiple times a day, serves enterprise customers who expect rock-solid reliability, and is scaling 10x. Our platform team owns the infrastructure, tooling, and developer experience that underpins all of this. We're adding a hands-on Platform Engineer to the team to improve our CI/CD, scale our serverless infrastructure, strengthen observability, and make every product engineer more effective.
Key Responsibilities
- Scale our infrastructure. Design and evolve our AWS serverless architecture (including Lambda, DynamoDB, Aurora, EventBridge) for 10x growth, multi-region HA, and data residency requirements.
- Own CI/CD and deployment. Build and improve our deployment pipelines (GitHub Actions), infrastructure-as-code (Pulumi), and release tooling so product teams can ship faster and safer.
- Own observability. Build out monitoring, alerting, and debugging across the stack using Datadog. When something breaks, we should know before our customers do.
- Improve developer experience. Build internal tooling, automate toil, and remove friction so engineers spend more time shipping product and less time fighting infrastructure.
- Code and build. Contribute production-ready TypeScript across infrastructure and product features; raise the bar through solid patterns, libraries, and reviews.
Minimum Requirements
We're hiring at both Level 3 (Senior) and Level 4 (Staff). For calibration, candidates typically bring 5+ years of platform engineering experience in high-growth, cloud-native SaaS environments, but we care more about impact than years.
You'll join an experienced platform team and contribute across the full stack, from infrastructure-as-code and deployment pipelines to developer tooling and occasionally product features.
