Why Antimetal

Antimetal is building the future of infrastructure management. We're creating an autonomous platform that investigates, resolves, and prevents infrastructure issues—giving engineering teams their time back to focus on what they do best: building great products.

We raised a $20M Series A from Sound Ventures, Buckley Ventures and Founders/C-Levels from Amazon, Github, Vanta, Perplexity, SSI, and more. Read more about our vision for the future of infrastructure here.

• Harden the platform for reliability by improving performance, reducing failure modes, and ensuring the system scales with customer demand.

• Collaborate across product and infrastructure, translating ambiguous requirements into production-ready backend and platform features.

• Set engineering standards for writing, communication, and system design, influencing how the entire product is built.

• Experience building and scaling distributed systems

• Proven backend API/data services expertise

• Oncall experience with production systems

• Comfort with ambiguity and ownership

• Excellent writing and communication skills
