About Us
Strike is a Y Combinator startup reimagining how the world prices uncertainty.
We're building the first prediction market that allows businesses to hedge against real-world outcomes — protecting against uncertainty in the same way they hedge currencies or commodities.
We just raised a $2.3m seed round and are backed by Y Combinator, Quadcode, Transpose Platform Management, Pioneer Fund, Goodwater Capital, and others.

- Migrate existing workloads from Porter-managed environments to a custom IaC setup
- Design and maintain CI/CD pipelines for automated testing and deployment
- Establish observability, monitoring, and alerting using tools like CloudWatch
- Define and implement secure network boundaries, IAM policies, and secrets management
- Collaborate with developers to ensure infrastructure and application design align
What We're Looking For
- 3+ years of experience in DevOps, Backend, or Infrastructure Engineering roles
- Strong understanding of AWS core services (VPC, ECS, EC2, S3, IAM, CloudWatch, etc.)
- Experience with Infrastructure-as-Code (preferably AWS CDK, Terraform also relevant)
- 5 days in-office
