ABOUT
CATCHES is a SaaS start-up backed by some of the most influential names in luxury fashion globally. We blend advanced 3D rendering, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Visual Effects (VFX) techniques to deliver unparalleled shopping experiences for luxury fashion and exclusive events. Our platform depends on rock-solid, scalable backend infrastructure and first-class developer tooling to keep us moving quickly.
ROLE
We’re looking for a seasoned Platform Engineer who thrives at the intersection of software delivery and cloud operations. You’ll own internal platforms, pipelines, and services that enable our product teams to ship quickly and safely—while ensuring infrastructure is stable, secure, and scalable.
You will collaborate with a fully formed Platform Team comprised of Backend/Frontend and Games Tech engineers to provide tooling support and infrastructure orchestration which will cover both hosting and CI/CD capabilities
RESPONSIBILITIES
* Orchestrate and maintain our Baremetal and GCP infrastructure.
* Implement infrastructure-as-code (Terraform) and automated release workflows that enable true continuous delivery.
* Drive observability: log aggregation, metrics, distributed tracing and on-call runbooks.
* Champion security, cost-efficiency and performance tuning across our services.
* Collaborate with product and platform teams to ship end-to-end features and migrations.
REQUIREMENTS
* Extensive experience orchestrating infrastructure at scale across cloud and baremetal.
* SRE & Kubernetes expertise (GKE/AKS/EKS) and container-native observability stacks (Datadog/Prometheus/Grafana).
* Proven ownership of CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Cloud Build, Azure DevOps, etc.) and release automation.
* Proven experience with multiplatform scripting languages (Python, bash, PowerShell).
* Comfortable operating in a fast-moving, fully-remote start-up environment with high autonomy.
* Excellent communication skills and a track record of cross-team collaboration.
NICE TO HAVE
* Experience with game-backend scales, real-time services or hybrid cloud / bare-metal deployments.
* Strong grasp of event-driven designs and messaging (Pub/Sub, RabbitMQ, Kafka, etc.).
* Contributions to open-source DevOps or cloud-native projects.
* Knowledge of WebGL/3D pipelines and asset-build tooling.
WHAT WORKING WITH CATCHES LOOKS LIKE
* Fully remote-first, async-friendly, with optional coworking allowances.
* High-trust, low-bureaucracy environment that values experimentation and shipping.
* Early influence on product, architecture and engineering culture.
* A small, experienced team that cares about sustainable pace.
* Cutting-edge tech, luxury-fashion creativity, and game-industry scale challenges combined.
