About Proofline

Hi HN, I'm the founder of Proofline. We're building an infrastructure-aware AI code reviewer that catches deployment failures before they reach production. Think of it as a type checker for your cloud infrastructure. We analyze code changes against Terraform, live cloud environments, and deployment evidence rather than just reading diffs.

We're hiring a hands-on Staff / Principal Engineer to help us build.

  • Have a path toward engineering leadership

Stack

  • Rust
  • Go
  • PostgreSQL
  • React/TypeScript
  • Terraform
  • AWS
  • GCP

Requirements

  • 10+ years of hands-on infrastructure engineering experience
  • Deep SaaS and cloud expertise
  • Extensive use of AI coding agents
  • A track record of shipping end to end

Location, Compensation & Benefits

  • Remote globally
  • Flexible hours
  • Regular Berlin visits required
  • Salary: €120k–€200k depending on experience and location, plus meaningful founding equity
  • No visa sponsorship

How to Apply

To apply, ship a small feature PR to one of our open-source developer tools and email careers@proofline.sh with the link. If you have 10+ years of relevant experience and an established online presence showcasing your technical work, you can skip the PR and share your best work with us instead.
