Senior Full Stack Engineer at Infisical - Remote Americas — Columbus
Traveler-Friendly Insight
Remote-Friendly, But Americas-Anchored: Infisical operates primarily as a remote team, which is great news for digital nomads — but there's a significant constraint: the role explicitly requires you to be based in North or South America. This effectively locks you to UTC-8 through UTC-3 time zones for practical alignment with the team and enterprise customers.
Timezone Flexibility: No specific core hours are stated, but working closely with the CTO and enterprise customers implies some synchronous availability during US business hours (PT/ET). Nomads in Medellín (UTC-5) or Buenos Aires (UTC-3) would align well. Lisbon (UTC+0/+1) and Bangkok (UTC+7) would be too far out of sync and are outside the allowed region.
Best nomad destinations within the allowed zone:
- Medellín, Colombia – Low cost of living (~$1,500–2,000/mo), fast internet, thriving nomad scene, UTC-5.
- Mexico City, Mexico – Vibrant tech community, affordable (~$1,800–2,500/mo), UTC-6.
- Buenos Aires, Argentina – Cultural hub, very affordable for USD earners (~$1,200–1,800/mo), UTC-3.
Visa Considerations: Brazil, Colombia, Mexico, and Argentina all offer relatively accessible tourist or digital nomad visa pathways for extended stays. No salary is disclosed, but Infisical's YC/Series-A stage typically means competitive senior engineer pay in the $150k–$200k+ range, which stretches very far in LATAM cities.
The work setup budget is a practical perk for nomads needing to kit out a home office or coworking space.
Infisical is looking to hire exceptional talent to join our teams in building the open source security infrastructure stack for the AI era.
We're building a generational company with a world-class team. This isn't a place to coast — but if you want to grow fast, take ownership, and solve tough problems, you'll be challenged like nowhere else.
What We're Looking For
We're looking for an exceptional Senior Full Stack Engineer to help us build, optimize, and expand the foundation of the platform.
We've kept our hiring standards exceptionally high since we expect engineers to tackle a broad range of challenges on a day-to-day basis. Examples of past engineering initiatives include developing strategies for secret rotation and dynamic secrets, a gateway to provide secure access to private resources, protocols like EST and KMIP, integrations for syncing secrets across cloud providers, and entire new product lines such as Infisical PKI and Infisical SSH.
You'll be working closely with our CTO and the rest of the engineering team to:
Develop and maintain features whilst communicating directly with enterprise customers.
Expand our newer Infisical PKI, Infisical SSH, and Infisical KMS product lines.
Experiment with novel approaches for applying AI to secrets management and more broadly security infrastructure.
Requirements
Deep technical mastery of the JavaScript ecosystem, particularly React.js, Node.js, and TypeScript (3+ years).
Exceptional attention to detail and eager to learn.
A bias toward action — able to make decisions with incomplete information, iterate quickly, and take calculated risks.
Based in North or South America.
Bonus
Expertise in Go.
Some understanding of DevOps/developer tools.
Previous founder or startup experience.
Previous experience building in open source or developer tools in either a professional or personal setting.
Excellent written and oral communication skills to interact with customers directly.
How You'll Grow
In this role, you'll play a pivotal part in shaping Infisical's future — making key technical decisions, establishing foundational processes, and tackling complex scalability challenges. As you gain experience and the team expands, you'll have the opportunity to take full ownership of specific areas of our platform, driving them end-to-end with autonomy and impact.
Overall, you'll be one of the defining pieces of our team as we scale to thousands of customers over the next 18 months.
Team, Values & Benefits
Our team brings experience from companies like Figma, AWS, and Red Hat. We operate primarily as a remote team but maintain a strong presence in San Francisco, where we have an office. We also get together in person throughout the year for off-sites, conferences, and team gatherings.
At Infisical, we offer competitive compensation, including both salary and equity options. Additional benefits, such as a lunch stipend and a work setup budget, are available with more details to be found on our careers page.
