About DualEntry

Founded in 2024, DualEntry is one of NYC’s fastest-growing AI startups, backed by top-tier VCs and 30+ unicorn founders.

Our founding team previously scaled a startup from $2K in savings to $100M ARR and a successful exit — after raising $380M+ in funding.

Now, we’re building the next wave of enterprise infrastructure: AI-powered, automation-first, and built for mid-market finance teams tired of outdated tools.

We move fast, deploy to prod daily, and build with a deep sense of ownership.

📍 Location: Remote with overlap for US ET timezone (NYC HQ)

About the Role

We’re looking for a Platform Engineer / Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) to establish the DevOps foundation at DualEntry. As the first member of this new team, you’ll play a pivotal role in designing our internal platform, scaling infrastructure, and setting the standards for reliability and automation across the organization.

We’re seeking someone with solid AWS experience, strong problem-solving skills, and a pragmatic approach to DevOps, a builder who thrives on making systems reliable, scalable, and efficient.

What You’ll Do

• Lead the initial setup of our DevOps and platform engineering practices, defining standards, tooling, and infrastructure strategy.
• Design and deliver an internal platform for personal or feature environments to empower developers and improve velocity.
• Build and maintain AWS-based infrastructure to ensure optimal performance, scalability, and security.
• Develop CI/CD pipelines to streamline deployments and automate release processes.
• Implement observability tooling (logging, monitoring, alerting) to detect and resolve issues proactively.
• Collaborate closely with developers to identify bottlenecks, improve delivery, and enhance system reliability.
• Ensure high availability and uptime through effective monitoring, incident response, and recovery strategies.
• Promote infrastructure automation and Infrastructure as Code best practices.
• Document systems, configurations, and incident processes for team-wide clarity and consistency.
• Participate in on-call rotations or coordinate time zone coverage to ensure 24-hour reliability across regions.

What We’re Looking For

• 10 years of overall experience, or at least 5 years of strong AWS-focused engineering experience.
• Deep understanding of AWS services (EC2, ECS/EKS, RDS, IAM, networking, etc.).
• Experience with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, CloudFormation, etc.).
• Strong background in CI/CD systems (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or similar).
• Familiarity with containerization (Docker, Kubernetes) and modern deployment workflows.
• Experience implementing monitoring and observability solutions (Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, etc.).
• Comfortable working independently to build new systems and processes from the ground up.
• Time zone flexibility to support partial 24-hour coverage is preferred.

How You Operate

• Pragmatic: You like to move forward and make decisions based on reality (not theory). We don't debate if Cassandra has the most theoretical scalability -- we use Postgres until it breaks
• Hard working: 'You can work long, hard, or smart, but [here] you can't choose two out of three" - Jeff Bezos. We wrote this job post during the weekend
• Curious: You love to learn, are highly curious about new frameworks and solutions to engineering problems
• Fast-moving – You deploy daily, iterate quickly, and never wait for permission

Why You’ll Thrive Here

• You’ll help build the foundational backend of a product with massive market pull
• You’ll work with a high-trust, high-speed team that cares about clean code and clear ownership
• You’ll see your work go live weekly and shape how modern finance teams operate
• You’ll grow fast — with full visibility and real responsibility

Compensation & Benefits

• Base salary: $100-$150k
• Equity: $50k+
• B2B contract
• Remote-first team - the fastest team you will have ever worked with
• 15 PTO days + 12 public holidays
• Freedom, autonomy, and impact from day one
