About Engine

At Engine , we’re transforming business travel into something personalized, rewarding, and simple. For too long, managing travel and spend has been overwhelming and fragmented — we’re here to change that. We believe the future of travel should be seamless and powered by technology that delights customers at every step. That’s why we’re building a platform that brings together corporate travel, a powerful charge card, and modern spend management in one place.

To make this vision real, we’re looking for exceptional, mission-driven people to help redefine how businesses manage and experience travel.

More than 30,000 companies already rely on Engine to support over 1 million travelers and billions in annual bookings each year. Cash flow positive with rapid growth, we pair exclusive Engine -only rates, industry-leading rewards, and intelligent automation to help businesses save money while delivering world-class personalization and convenience.

Backed by Telescope Partners, Blackstone, and Permira, Engine has been recognized as one of the fastest-growing travel and fintech platforms in North America, with honors including the Deloitte Fast 500 and Built In’s Best Places to Work.

As Staff Engine er on the Control Plane / Core team, you're one of a handful of people who set the technical direction for how every engineering team at Engine builds and ships. You won't be embedded in a single vertical — you're working on the substrate underneath all of them.

You'll be hands-on with

• AWS control plane— multi-account architecture, account vending, VPC networking, organizational guardrails, IAM boundaries.
• CI/CD platform— template pipelines, shared GitHub Actions/workflows, org-level policies, secret distribution. You moderate what's shared; teams contribute upward.
• Terraform execution— Terraform Cloud workspaces, module registry, our internal modules, the tooling that lets a feature team stand up a namespace and start shipping in hours, not weeks.
• Networking & security— Cloudflare (WAF, DNS, WARP, page rules), core network topology, certificate management.
• Vendor integrations— Datadog, JFrog, Terraform Cloud, GitHub OIDC — the connective tissue between vendors and our accounts.
• Cost observability— tooling and dashboards that give teams visibility into what they own and spend.

You'll also be a force multiplier for the embedded engineers: the patterns, modules, and primitives you build are what they hand to feature teams. When something embedded engineers keep solving locally needs to become a paved road, that's your work.

What You'll Do

• Lead the technical evolution of the control plane — not just keep it running, but decide where it goes next.
• Design and ship platform primitives (Terraform modules, pipeline templates, account/networking patterns) that feature teams adopt be
