If you want to own infrastructure end to end, not operate a corner of someone else’s, keep reading. About GetHookd GetHookd.ai is an ad intelligence platform used by 5,500+ eCommerce and marketing teams to find and create winning ad creatives. We maintain a searchable library of 100+ million ads across Meta and TikTok, adding tens of thousands daily through a scraper fleet that runs 24/7 and has to stay ahead of TLS fingerprinting and platform changes. Semantic search over the whole thing. A data moat that grows every hour we stay online. In July we launched our API and MCP server . AI agents now query our platform programmatically, and it’s our fastest-growing usage channel. The infrastructure you’d run is increasingly what other people’s AI systems depend on. GetHookd is built and run by Meliora, a product studio in Sofia with two Shopify app exits behind us. GetHookd is our current focus and our biggest bet. A startup team with a studio’s track record, profitable, no outside funding, allergic to bureaucracy. The Role Straight version: our production knowledge currently sits with one senior engineer who built most of the platform. We’re hiring you to change that. You’ll own infrastructure end to end, make the systems legible, and have real influence over architecture, tooling, and long-term direction. You’re not joining an infra team. You’re becoming the platform function, working alongside the engineer who knows where the bodies are buried. The stack: GCP-primary (GKE) with Cloudflare at the edge, containerized services, TypeSense-powered semantic search on highmem nodes, GitHub Actions, and a product team shipping daily. What You’ll Own GCP and Cloudflare infrastructure, end to end Monitoring and alerting built on leading indicators. Disk trends, queue depth, error rates. Our worst outages were preceded by warnings nobody was watching. That ends with you. CI/CD pipelines across backend, frontend, and scraper services Uptime and resilience of the scraper fleet and data pipeline Incident response and disaster recovery, including runbooks that someone other than their author has actually tested Load testing and capacity planning ahead of Black Friday, our biggest traffic season Environment provisioning, secrets management, and access control Cost optimization at real scale. Cloud spend is a meaningful line item and you’ll see the actual numbers. Security posture as we move upmarket Who We’re Looking For 5+ years hands-on DevOps or platform work in production SaaS. You’ve personally carried a pager. Strong GCP and Kubernetes experience. AWS familiarity is a plus. Cloudflare-native thinking (Workers, R2, edge patterns) is a real bonus Production-grade CI/CD (GitHub Actions or equivalent) and Infrastructure as Code (Terraform or Pulumi) Scripting in Python, Bash, Go, or TypeScript Monitoring and observability in your bones. Grafana, Sentry, Datadog, pick your poison. Experience running search infrastructure (TypeSense, Elasticsearch, OpenSearch) at scale is a strong plus You make trade-offs quickly and explain them clearly You run toward production incidents, not away from them You treat AI-generated remediation plans as hypotheses to validate, not commands to execute. We will ask about this in the interview. There’s a story behind it. This Role Is Not For You If You prefer tickets and playbooks over ownership and initiative Documentation is a chore you do later. Later never comes and we both know it. You need a large team and long feedback cycles to function You want to replatform in month one. The architecture has scars but it works and it’s profitable. You’re more precious about stack preferences than about what actually works What We Offer Hybrid: week 1 in-office, then Mon–Wed office / Thu–Fri remote 20+ days paid leave, growing with tenure Private health insurance and an optional sports card Real product ownership. No red tape. No fluff. A small, honest team that ships things that matter How We Work No Black Boxes. Share context early, often, and publicly. Feed Forward. Feedback is fast, clear, and focused on what’s next. Own the Outcome. We finish the job, not the task. Hack a Better Way. Prototype, test, adapt. Flex & Flow. Plans change, we move. The Process Four steps, two weeks total: a short written screen (3 questions, 20 minutes), a technical conversation including a code review of a real PR from our codebase, a paid 3-hour practical , and a founder conversation . We pay for the practical because your time is worth money and unpaid take-homes tell you how a company treats people. Apply with a CV or LinkedIn. We read every application ourselves.
Here's how to pick the right one and stand out in your application.

That number is real. WorkMundi's database shows 144,883 open engineer roles across the world. India has the most with 31,687 jobs, followed by the United States with 30,084. If you just finished reading one job ad and felt paralyzed by choice, you're not alone—but this scale is actually an advantage. It means you can afford to be selective.
Start by geography and language. The majority of engineer ads—117,837 of them—have the job posting text written in English. Use that as one filter, but remember: the ad text language tells you nothing about whether the role actually requires you to speak English day-to-day. Read the job description carefully. Then check which countries have the volume you're targeting. Singapore, Poland, and Australia round out the top five after India and the US.
Next, learn who's hiring. Accenture has posted 2,801 engineer roles. andurilindustries, speechify, and jobgether are also actively recruiting. If you're applying to one of these names, research their hiring patterns and interview style before you apply. That homework pays off.
When you interview, expect the question every engineer hears: 'Tell me about a time you had to debug a problem that wasn't in your job description.' Have a specific story ready—not a general one. Name the tools, the deadline pressure, and what you learned. Hiring managers listen for whether you see problem-solving as part of the role itself, not a favour.
