Staff Software Engineer, Infrastructure

Gable, Seattle, WA, United States


Staff Software Engineer, Infrastructure
Location:

Seattle, WA - Hybrid

Base Salary Range:

$210K - $250K (depending upon expertise) + equity

Gable helps engineering teams put guardrails around data before problems reach production. We bring data contracts, code-level lineage, and CI/CD enforcement into the development lifecycle so teams can move faster with more confidence.

We’re an early-stage company building in a complex space, and this role is intentionally broad. We need a staff-level engineer who can own DevOps and infrastructure while still contributing as a strong software engineer. Someone who is autonomously jumping between backend systems, deployment workflows, developer tooling, and production issues—and is energized by that range rather than boxed in by it.

The Role
This is a high-ownership role for an experienced software engineer with real infrastructure depth. You might have started in backend, full-stack, or platform engineering and gradually taken on DevOps or infrastructure responsibility, but you still like writing code and solving product‑adjacent technical problems.

You’ll work across CI/CD, observability, automation, databases, Docker, cloud infrastructure, and internal tooling. You do not need to be the world’s best expert in every domain. You do need strong judgment, a bias for action and making decisions, and the ability to go deep when something breaks or needs to scale.

Responsibilities

Own deployment, infrastructure, and DevOps systems end-to-end

Build and improve CI/CD pipelines that enable fast, reliable releases

Write tooling and automation for infrastructure, operations, and integrations

Contribute to backend systems and software engineering projects where infrastructure and application code intersect

Improve local development environments, internal tooling, and developer workflows

Build monitoring, alerting, and observability that helps engineers diagnose real issues quickly

Strengthen reliability, security, and operational practices across the stack

Partner closely with engineers across the company to design pragmatic systems that scale

Debug hard problems across code, infrastructure, and runtime behavior

Use AI where it meaningfully improves engineering speed, tooling, or operational efficiency

Qualifications

7+ years of hands‑on experience owning infrastructure, DevOps, platform, or production systems

4+ years (the more the better) of software engineering experience with strong backend engineering fundamentals, and experience shipping production code

Strong cloud experience, ideally AWS

Experience with Terraform or similar infrastructure‑as‑code tools

Solid CI/CD experience, including testing and deployment workflows

Startup experience, ideally in a Series A–C environment

Experience with observability, monitoring, and alerting in production systems

Strong PostgreSQL and DynamoDB operational experience, including performance, backup, and recovery

Comfort making good technical decisions in ambiguity and moving with urgency

Track record of improving developer productivity, deployment velocity, reliability, or operational quality

Preferred Skills

Experience building internal developer platforms or self‑serve engineering workflows

Experience with cloud security or compliance practices

Background in data infrastructure, developer tools, or technical B2B SaaS

Familiarity with AI‑assisted engineering workflows
