## Job description

Why Lovable?

Lovable is the software creation platform that gives people the power to act on the problems closest to them. For decades, turning an idea into software required so much capital, technical fluency, and time that many ideas never came to life. Lovable is the counterargument: a platform for all people with ideas, ambition, and problems worth solving. From solopreneurs to small business owners to teams at companies like Adidas and Zendesk, people have built over 60 million projects on Lovable since its launch in November 2024. And we’re just getting started.

We’re building a generational company from Stockholm, with growing teams in London, Boston, New York, and San Francisco. Our team is small, talent-dense, and moving quickly, with a culture rooted in extreme ownership, high velocity, and low-ego collaboration. We look for people who care deeply, ship fast, and are eager to make a dent in the world.

Lovable is one of TIME’s 100 Most Influential Companies and has been recognized on the Forbes AI 50 and CNBC Disruptor 50, reflecting our momentum as one of Europe’s fastest-growing AI companies and one of the most ambitious places to build in this next era of software.

## About the Apps Platform

The Lovable Apps Platform is what makes those generated apps actually run in production. The moment a user hits deploy, the Apps Platform takes over — provisioning the database, handling user auth, storing files, serving the app over a custom domain, capturing logs, and metering usage. It's the full backend and hosting layer for every app built on Lovable, designed so creators never have to think about infrastructure to ship something real.

The Apps Platform is growing fast, and we're investing heavily in each layer of the stack — building deeper ownership over the services that power our users' apps so we can move faster, scale better, and shape the product experience us and our users actually want.

## The Role

We’re looking for software engineers with a platform mindset to work on the app runtime, deployment pipeline, and the composable managed services we purchase and operate. Some foundational services we buy from 3p partners, others are not available for purchase and you would be the first in the world to build them at scale. You'll keep these services running reliably, manage vendor relationships and migrations, and ensure operational excellence across the stack.

## What You'll Do

- Own the app hosting and deployment pipeline — the runtime that serves user applications in production
- Manage and operate composable managed services for storage, logging, workflows etc
- Build and maintain custom domains infrastructure, ensuring reliable SSL provisioning and DNS management at scale
- Drive vendor evaluation, onboarding, and migration as we continue decomposing our platform from a bundled BaaS to best-of-breed individual services
- Establish operational excellence practices: monitoring, alerting, incident response, runbooks, and capacity planning across all managed services

## What We're Looking For

- Experience building and operating distributed systems
- Ideally 6+ years of experience in running and developing
- Strong background in platform engineering, SRE, or infrastructure operations
- Deep understanding of multitenant app hosting infrastructure, container orchestration, or edge runtimes
- Vendor management experience: evaluating services, negotiating contracts, planning migrations, and holding vendors accountable for SLAs
- Operational mindset: you think in uptime, latency percentiles, cost-per-request, and blast radius

## Nice to Have

- Experience building and operating massively multitenant control planes
- Experience operating Cloudflare Workers, Pages, R2, or D1 at scale
- Hands on experience contribution to cloud infrastructure or CNCF projects (kubernetes, worked, envoy)
- Familiarity with ClickHouse or other columnar databases for log analytics
- Experience with managed database services (such as Supabase, Neon, AWS Aurora, Google Cloud SQL etc)
- Cost optimization experience — you've driven meaningful infrastructure cost reduction

Our tech stack

We're building with tools that both humans and AI love. Lovable software engineers are capable of working across the whole stack. Examples of tech in our stack include:

- Frontend: React and Typescript.
- Backend: Golang and Rust.
- Cloud: Cloudflare, GCP, AWS.
- Data: Clickhouse, Firestore, Spanner, BigQuery.
- DevOps & Tooling: CI/CD pipelines, OTEL, Kubernetes, Terraform.

And always on the lookout for what's next!

- **High-Growth Environment**: Being part of a company that is scaling revenue and headcount at an explosive rate offers significant career growth opportunities.
- **Global & Remote-First**: With offices in Stockholm, San Francisco, London, and Boston, and a remote-friendly policy, the team is distributed globally.
- **Comprehensive Benefits**: Includes unlimited AI access, meaningful equity, paid parental leave, wellness & health budget, and relocation support.
- **Engineering & Product Focus**: The culture emphasizes speed, results, and tight feedback loops over rigid process, which is attractive for builders who want to move fast.
