Mission
Build the internal platform that helps HypeProxies ship reliable proxy and server products faster. Turn infrastructure workflows into dependable systems for provisioning, deployment, reliability, and observability.
The Opportunity
HypeProxies is one of the fastest-growing infra-first proxy and server companies in the market. We've built:
Fully owned infrastructure in Ashburn, VA and Dallas, TX
A world-class brand and reputation
1,000+ servers sold and managed internally
A Proxmox-based VPS platform serving hundreds of B2B and data collection teams
A custom proxy engine and VPS platform
We're looking for a Platform Engineer who has built and scaled production infrastructure platforms, can quantify the customers or workloads supported, and is comfortable across systems, APIs, software, and operations. Production Rust experience is required.
You'll work closely with infrastructure and product engineering to make the platform safer, faster, and easier to operate.
What You Will Own
You will:
Own core platform services that power proxy and VPS product workflows
Improve deployment, provisioning, and lifecycle automation
Raise service reliability, observability, and operational readiness
Build internal tooling that removes toil for engineers and operators
Document platform APIs, runbooks, and standards
Ship production Rust where it matters for performance and correctness
Partner on architecture as we scale capacity and product surface area
Responsibilities
1. Platform Services
Design, build, and operate internal platform services and APIs
Improve provisioning and deployment paths for servers, VPS, and related products
Keep interfaces stable, well-documented, and easy for other teams to use
Balance speed of delivery with long-term maintainability
2. Reliability & Observability
Define SLOs and improve monitoring, alerting, and dashboards
Drive incident response quality for platform-owned systems
Reduce mean time to detect and resolve production issues
Build guardrails that prevent common operational failures
3. Automation & Tooling
Automate repetitive infrastructure and release workflows
Improve developer experience for shipping and operating services
Use Rust (and complementary languages where appropriate) for performance-critical paths
Eliminate manual steps that slow the team down
4. Collaboration & Documentation
Work with infrastructure, network, and product engineers on shared roadmaps
Write clear docs and runbooks others can follow under pressure
Raise the bar for code review, testing, and operational hygiene
What Makes This Role Special
You'll build platform on real owned hardware and production proxy/VPS products — not greenfield slides.
You'll work directly with leadership on architecture that affects the whole company.
Your tooling will compound: every improvement makes the next ship safer and faster.
You'll have autonomy to identify bottlenecks and fix them without heavy process.
Rust in production is a first-class part of the job, not a side project.
Compensation & Benefits
Compensation: TBD, depending on experience
Fully remote
Unlimited PTO
Performance-based salary growth as responsibilities increase
Clear path to grow as platform ownership expands with the business
