Software Engineer, Infrastructure

Senior Infrastructure Engineer

Onsite: Mexico City

About the Company

Open English, one of our portfolio companies, is an online English learning platform with USD nine-figure revenue and millions of learners, helping people expand their opportunities through English.

The Opportunity

Own the greenfield infrastructure rebuild at Open English. Design it, build it, and run it in production.

Current Stack: AWS, React, Angular, Python, and Node.js. 

This person will own infrastructure as code, deployment pipelines, security, reliability, and cost. This role has visibility directly to investors and reports to C-Suite leadership.

Think: fast execution and sound decisions under pressure.

This Could Be a Fit If

• AWS Infrastructure: You've personally built and operated production AWS environments, owning networking, access controls, scaling, and cost.
• Infrastructure as Code & CI/CD: You write infrastructure code and build automated deployment pipelines, owning changes from implementation through production.
• Containerization: You've built and operated Docker-based services and owned deployment, scaling, and troubleshooting with orchestration platforms such as Kubernetes.
• Production Operations: You own observability, incident response, and recovery for Python and Node.js services. You can explain the reliability and performance outcomes you delivered.
• You have executive presence and business judgment. You give leadership clear recommendations, make tradeoffs explicit, and find fast, viable paths to customer and revenue outcomes.
• You use AI to accelerate execution. You understand, validate, and own everything you ship.
• You follow evidence, challenge assumptions, and change your mind. The best idea wins.
• You earn trust: deliver, surface problems early, take accountability, and give others autonomy.
• You care deeply about the work. You take bold, considered bets, remove bottlenecks, and deliver with the resources available.
• You believe in expanding opportunity through English learning across Latin America. You want ownership and potential equity in the company you help build.
• You put customers and the mission first. You adapt and do what the business needs.

This Role Is Not a Fit for You If

• You expect others to implement your architecture.
• You need a fixed playbook or narrow scope and resist adapting when the business needs it.
• You defend assumptions against evidence or use hierarchy to settle disagreements.
• You want autonomy but hesitate to extend trust, surface problems, or own customer outcomes.
• You ship AI-generated work without understanding or validating it.
