Job description

About Hex

Hex is growing our team of builders on a mission to make everyone a data person. Our platform solves key pain points with today’s data and analytics tooling, and empowers anyone to explore data using natural language, with or without code, on trusted context. Thousands of customers like Ramp, Figma, Stubhub, Anthropic, and Gamma love Hex for our beautiful UI, agentic superpowers, and boundless flexibility.

Hex has raised over $100M from leading investors like Sequoia, a16z, Snowflake and Amplify. With office hubs in San Francisco and New York, as well as remote team members throughout the US and UK, we’re a high-agency team that ships fast and has fun doing it. Check out our Intro to Hex video and employee handbook to learn more about what it’s like to work at Hex.

About the role

Hex's infrastructure team owns all of our cloud infrastructure (compute, networking, datastores) along with CI/CD and observability, across a multi-tenant platform and single-tenant environments. Every engineer at Hex depends on what the infrastructure team builds.

We're growing in customers, in users, and in the kinds of data workflows our workload compute backend has to support. That growth has opened up a set of projects that would meaningfully change how fast the rest of engineering ships, and we're hiring to take them on.

We're looking for someone who will pick up one of those projects, own it start to finish, and leave it better than they found it. Bring your opinions, including the ones that disagree with ours. Infrastructure tooling is changing quickly right now, and we want someone who's paying attention to that as we improve the foundational components that power Hex.

What you will do

Your first few months, we'll pick two or three of these together based on where you're strongest and where we're looking to invest:

• CI/CD. Hex’s CI/CD pipelines need a glow-up: optimizing for speed, cost, and providing more flexibility.

• Stack lifecycle. Setup, teardown, partial teardown, and updates for single-tenant stacks, today too much of this is manual and runs through our team.

• Postgres at scale. Performance, migrations, and capacity for our multi-tenant production database.

• Cost. Infrastructure spend visibility and reduction.

• Security posture. Workload and container isolation, plus compliance work as we move upmarket.

• Platform features. Customer-facing infrastructure capabilities: private connectivity, customer defined networking, and making single-tenant deployments easier to operate.

About You

• 5+ years building and operating production infrastructure, including on-call

• You make the people around you better, whether or not you've had the title

• Strong Kubernetes operations: you can reason about scheduling, networking, and failure modes, not just apply manifests

• Solid AWS fundamentals (EKS, RDS, VPC networking, IAM)

• Infrastructure as code, ideally Terraform

• Comfortable writing and reading enough application code to change a pipeline, a controller, or a service

• You can take a vague, long-standing problem and turn it into something shippable without waiting to be told how

• You write clearly, design docs and runbooks that engineers outside infra can follow

Plus depth in at least one of

• Networking — VPC design, private connectivity (PrivateLink, peering), DNS, TLS and certificate management, agentic sandboxing

• Databases — Postgres at scale: replication, tuning, connection pooling, major version upgrades, migrations under load

• Deployment systems — CI/CD platform ownership, build performance and cost, release and artifact management

Our stack

• Cloud: AWS (EKS, RDS, ElastiCache)

• Databases: PostgreSQL (RDS), Redis, LanceDB, DynamoDB, MSK

• Languages: TypeScript (Node.js), Python, Rust, Go

• Infrastructure-as-code: Terraform

• Monitoring: Datadog

The salary range for this role is: $214,000 - $285,000

In addition to our unique culture, Hex proudly offers a competitive total rewards package, including but not limited to, market-benched salary & equity, comprehensive health benefits, and flexible paid time off.

The salary range shown may be a reflection of additional factors such as geographical location and skill ranges/levels we’re open to. Placement in the salary range will be decided upon completion of the interview process, taking into account factors like leaving room for growth, internal fairness & parity, your demonstrated skills, and the depth of your experience. Our Recruiting team will be able to provide more details during the interview process.

How to prepare and behave

This is editorial guidance, not information from the employer.

• Read the whole description and match your examples to its requirements; use the same words the posting uses where they are true for you.
• Research the employer before the interview: what it does, who its customers are and recent news; prepare two or three questions about the work.
• Arrive early (or log in early for a video call), dress one step above the daily dress code, and test your camera and audio beforehand.
• Answer with short stories: the situation, what you did and the result. Give numbers when you have them and never invent them.
• Be honest about gaps; say what you did to learn and how fast you can close them.
• Ask about the team, the first 90 days, how success is measured and the schedule; do not open with salary and time off.
• When pay comes up, know the market range for the occupation and your lowest acceptable offer before you answer; ask for the full package in writing.
• Send a short thank-you message within a day, mentioning one thing you discussed.
• The listing mentions a remote or flexible location. Confirm with the employer whether remote work applies to your state: taxes, licensing and benefits can depend on where you live.
• Have code, data work or projects you can show, and be ready to think aloud: many technical interviews test how you reason, not only the answer.
