We all get too much irrelevant email.  Gated helps users reduce inbox noise and focus on the messages that matter most.  We are building a massively scalable B2C brand that users already love.

The vision is revolutionary: we believe people should be in control of their own attention.  The solution is unique: Gated gives overwhelmed marketers and executives back control of their inbox, for free, without changing their workflow.

We are searching for a Senior Platform Architect to scale Gated into the millions of users. You will report to our Head of Engineering and be responsible for designing the maturity roadmap, cloud architecture, and application patterns that are highly available, scalable, performant, and secure (more on this below).
