Platform Engineer

We’re on a mission to radically transform the way we design and construct our built environment.

Backed by Lightspeed Venture Partners, Eagle transforms civil, structural, and MEP engineering firms with applied AI. We’re an AI laboratory dedicated to providing engineers with the tools they need to solve the world’s hardest infrastructure, energy, and climate problems.

By arming designers with frontier technology, our ambition is to build the most valuable, talent-dense engineering firm in the United States.

Our core thesis: 85% of what engineers do today is theoretically automatable, yet less than 5% has actually been touched by AI. That gap is the largest of any profession. Our plan is to close it by building purpose-built tools for their staff, and compounding that proprietary intelligence across customers.

That plan has a platform problem at its center. For each firm we engage with, we need to show up with increasing product leverage. You'd own the substrate that allows us to compound: the infrastructure it runs on, the pipeline it ships through, and the operational practice that keeps it up. You'll work directly with the CTO, and get a front-row seat to building a company from zero on a problem domain that's barely been touched by AI.

• →

  Own the platform architecture and infrastructure that's shared across our forward deployed engineers.

• →

  Own the delivery path from commit to production: CI/CD, preview environments, test infrastructure, a local setup that works on day one

• →

  Define what "up" means for us, instrument it, and build the observability and incident practice that keeps it true

• →

  Each new firm is a new tenant, a new identity domain, a new set of source systems to connect. Sign our tenth customer take a fraction of the time the first one did.

• You've run systems in production, have been woken up by them, and have specific opinions about what you'd do differently

• Comfort with ambiguity: there's no runbook to inherit and no platform team to join. You're establishing the practice, and the first version of everything will be yours

• You treat developer experience as a product with users

• Deep curiosity for how things work: an organization, a workflow, a market

• You aren't afraid to expose your ignorance, and you constantly ask why

• Are willing to get on a plane with us

• Not above any task. At our size the platform engineer also ships product code and helps a civil engineer figure out why their upload failed

• Frontend: NextJS on Vercel, Tailwind CSS

• Backend: Kotlin for web services, Python for data

• Infra: Multitenant shared infra on AWS
