About the Company
Open English, one of our portfolio companies, is an online English learning platform with nine-figure revenue and millions of learners, helping people expand their opportunities through English. The Opportunity Join the founding engineering team for Open English's greenfield platform rebuild as its Infrastructure Lead. Set the technical direction, build the AWS foundation, and own it in production. Stack: AWS, React, Angular, Python, and Node.js. You'll be a hands-on technical lead, owning infrastructure as code, deployment pipelines, security, reliability, and cost. Establish the engineering standards the founding team will build on. You'll report to C-suite leadership with direct investor visibility. Think: fast execution and sound decisions under pressure. This Could Be a Fit If
• AWS Infrastructure: You've personally built and operated production AWS environments, owning networking, access controls, scaling, and cost.
• Infrastructure as Code & CI/CD: You write infrastructure code and build automated deployment pipelines, owning changes from implementation through production.
• Containerization: You've built and operated Docker-based services and owned deployment, scaling, and troubleshooting with orchestration platforms such as Kubernetes.
• Production Operations: You own observability, incident response, and recovery for Python and Node.js services. You can explain the reliability and performance outcomes you delivered.




• You lead through technical credibility and business judgment. You align the founding team and leadership on clear decisions, make tradeoffs explicit, and deliver fast, viable paths to customer and revenue outcomes.
• You use AI to accelerate execution. You understand, validate, and own everything you ship.
• You follow evidence, challenge assumptions, and change your mind. The best idea wins.
• You set the standard for ownership: deliver, surface problems early, take accountability, and give teammates autonomy.
• You care deeply about the work. You take bold, considered bets, remove bottlenecks, and deliver with the resources available.
• You believe in expanding opportunity through English learning across Latin America. You want ownership and substantial equity in the company you help build.
• You put customers and the mission first. You adapt and do what the business needs. This Role Is Not a Fit for You If
• You want a leadership title without writing code and owning production.
• You need a fixed playbook or narrow scope and resist adapting when the business needs it.
• You defend assumptions against evidence or use hierarchy to settle disagreements.
• You want autonomy but hesitate to extend trust, surface problems, or own customer outcomes.
• You ship AI-generated work without understanding or validating it.
