Design and build Agora's internal platform, focusing on reusable abstractions, internal services, and enhancing developer experience through scalable systems and engineering standards.
ABOUT AGORA
At Agora, our mission is to transform how money moves. We believe stablecoins will underpin a new financial fabric, one that is faster, more global, and more efficient than today's siloed systems. That is why we are building AUSD and the Agora stack, a full service platform that makes issuing, managing, and integrating stablecoins seamless, whether you're a developer, fintech, or institution. With AUSD, stablecoins become programmable, composable, and ubiquitous by default.
We believe digital dollars should be a public good: trusted, accessible, and built for real-world utility. Our mission is to drive adoption through customizable, user-friendly on-ramps that make stable, dollar-based value available onchain.
We're backed by world-class investors including Paradigm and Dragonfly, and we're growing a team to reimagine how value moves online.
We're intentional about who we bring on. If you're passionate about stablecoins and want to help create more open, intuitive ways for people to engage with money, let's talk.
ABOUT THE TEAM
We bring the discipline of high-performance finance teams and the creativity of a fast-moving crypto-native startup. We're a small, mission-driven group of builders who move fast, sweat the details, and hold a high bar for excellence, in product, code, and culture.
You'll be joining a tight-knit team that values clear thinking, extreme ownership, and high-velocity decision making. We operate in short feedback loops, support one another without ego, and are deeply motivated by the opportunity to build foundational infrastructure for the future of money.
Before applying, please review our Agora Engineering Culture and Ways of Working document. It reflects how we think, operate, and hold ourselves accountable, and it's the best way to assess whether this environment is the right fit for you.
JOB SUMMARY
We're looking for a Senior Infrastructure Engineer to design and build Agora's internal platform that empowers product teams to ship software with confidence, reliability, and speed. This role brings a Software Engineering mindset to infrastructure: building reusable abstractions, internal services, developer tooling, and infrastructure primitives that reduce cognitive load for application teams and the Infrastructure team itself.
You will own core platform components such as our TypeScript Pulumi codebase, Kubernetes-based runtime environments, and monitoring stack. The work centers on architecting scalable systems, enforcing engineering standards through code, and continuously improving developer experience through well-engineered platform capabilities.
We value real-time collaboration and prefer candidates located close to Eastern Time, while welcoming exceptional engineers across Pacific Time through ET+2. Regardless of where you are located, your working hours will need to have a majority overlap with ET business hours.
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS
- 5+ years of professional Software Engineering experience, including substantial work in Infrastructure and Cloud domains
- Strong programming skills in TypeScript or another strictly typed language
- Strong understanding of distributed systems fundamentals (availability, consistency, observability, fault tolerance)
- Experience designing and maintaining infrastructure-as-code systems
- Deep understanding of AWS architecture
- Experience designing, operating, and scaling Kubernetes workloads
- Proven ability to build reusable systems and abstractions rather than one-off scripts
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
- Experience defining SLIs/SLOs, error budgets, and building incident tooling
- Experience improving Observability practices, defining alerts, operational dashboards and business metrics
- Familiarity with GitOps patterns and deployment automation technologies
- Expertise in DevEx or Developer Productivity
- Experience building Internal Development Platforms with focus on self-service and golden paths
- Experience in maintenance and operations of production-grade systems and on-call rotations
Agora operates a centralized USD-pegged stablecoin platform with robust compliance, security, and governance. We are equally committed to fostering a diverse, inclusive, and equitable workplace.

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene
Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.
Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech
- Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
- Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
- Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
- Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
- Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
