Staff Platform Engineer

Department: Moxie

Location: Remote - Global

Compensation: $97K – $170K • Multiple Ranges

Employment Type: FullTime

At Moxie, we empower ambitious aesthetic entrepreneurs to build profitable, independent practices—without burnout, overwhelm, or guesswork. In just a few years, weve grown from an idea to a global, remote-first team now supporting 700+ practices nationwide.

Staff Platform Engineer

Were looking for a Staff Platform Engineer to lead some of Moxies highest-impact infrastructure and developer productivity initiatives in Q4 2026 and H1 2027, starting with Continuous Delivery. Beyond the project work, youll provide technical leadership across the company and own and validate major architectural decisions that shape how Moxie builds, with particular responsibility for cloud infrastructure, CI/CD, developer environments, observability, and operational tooling.

Youll join our Platform team and work closely with engineers across Moxie to improve how we build, test, deploy, and operate software. Youll help evolve our developer platform to support both engineers and increasingly autonomous AI agents, with an emphasis on automation, self-service tooling, and reducing friction throughout the software development lifecycle.

Youll also share responsibility for production reliability and operational support with our distributed Platform team, including participation in on-call and incident response during Americas hours.

Our Objectives for the Role

• Ship early wins that improve developer productivity. Within your first month, youre contributing to production infrastructure and developer tooling, participating in architectural discussions, and identifying opportunities for improvement. By month two, youve delivered targeted improvements to CI reliability, merge workflows, deployment automation, or local development environments.

• Lead major platform initiatives from design to production. Take ownership of a meaningful workstream within our existing Continuous Delivery initiative, leading it through design, architecture review, cross-functional collaboration, and production. By month six, lead a second ambitious initiative, such as progressive delivery or developer environment improvements, to a visible milestone or production-ready state.

• Shape architecture across the company. Within your first month, youre actively participating in architectural discussions and identifying opportunities to improve Moxies systems. By month three, youre leading technical proposals, influencing major architectural decisions across teams, and taking designs from proposal through review, approval, and implementation, with particular ownership of our infrastructure and developer platform.

• Build the next generation of developer infrastructure. By month nine, youve advanced automation, self-service environments, and the infrastructure needed to support increasingly autonomous AI engineering workflows, with measurable improvements in delivery speed, reliability, or developer experience.

• Own non-project technical initiatives and engineering culture. Start owning at least one org-level initiative in your first three months (for example infrastructure standards, architecture governance, technical documentation, or engineering-wide reliability practices), and by month nine own one or two initiatives with measurable gains in quality or velocity, while shipping v1 of one or more key initiatives.

Were Looking For

• Staff-level engineering experience. Youve led large, ambiguous initiatives as a hands-on IC, owning delivery, tradeoffs, and major architectural decisions across teams.

• Technical leadership and engineering standards. Youve improved engineering practices, influenced peers across teams, and partnered with engineering leadership to resolve complex decisions and raise the technical bar.

• Cloud infrastructure and architecture. Youve designed, built, and operated production systems on AWS (ECS/Fargate, RDS, or equivalents), using containers and infrastructure as code (Terraform/Terragrunt), with strong judgment around scalability, reliability, and security.

• Continuous Delivery expertise. Youve improved CI/CD pipelines, testing infrastructure, and deployment workflows, with measurable gains in delivery speed, frequency, and reliability.

• Developer platform thinking. You treat engineers as customers, building self-service tooling, developer environments, and scalable abstractions that reduce friction for both engineers and autonomous AI agents.

• Observability and operational excellence. Youve designed reliable, observable production systems using Datadog or equivalent tooling, with effective monitoring and alerting, and can diagnose complex production failures and drive lasting improvements.

This is not a role for someone who prefers to advise from the sidelines or work a ticket queue; youll build the fix yourself.

Why Join Us?

• Momentum from day one. You join an in-flight Continuous Delivery initiative with leadership backing, so your work lands in a plan that already has support.

• A solid base to build on. Datadog observability is established and the deploy process works, so you improve a running platform instead of starting from zero.

• Youre not alone. You share US-hours coverage with an Americas staff platform engineer and work alongside an EU platform team.

• Above all, were in this to empower small business owners to own and grow their businesses. If you succeed, Med Spas will remain the opportunity for independent owner-operators instead of being dominated by a small number of large chains. If that speaks to you, speak to us.

• We have much left to build. But given the market feedback were getting and our founding teams company-building experience, we think we are writing the first chapters of a real success story.

• Competitive salary and fully remote work.

At Moxie, we believe in creating a workplace where everyone feels valued, trusted, and included. Our team lives by our values: act as owners, give more than we take, move with speed and care, and simplify and learn every day.

We welcome people of all backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives to apply. If you require any accommodations to fully participate in the interview process, please let us know, we’re happy to assist.
