About the Role
We are building an automation-first culture that enables engineering teams to move fast, operate safely, and own their services end-to-end. As a Senior Platform Engineer, you will address operational and infrastructure challenges through software engineering, replacing repetitive manual tasks with clean, scalable automation and self-service capabilities that enhance the developer experience.
You will take ownership of foundation-layer infrastructure across core application software, identity management, cloud automation, and observability, partnering with engineering squads to reduce friction, improve system resilience, and establish consistent security patterns across the technical ecosystem. A core focus of this role is improving the developer experience through self-service platforms, paved-road solutions, and automation that enables engineering teams to move quickly with confidence.
What You'll Do
- Architect foundation systems: Design, build, and maintain self-service APIs, developer tools, and automated delivery pipelines that streamline the software development lifecycle
- Own foundational identity and security: Operate and enhance Identity Provider (IdP) systems, implementing zero-trust principles, AuthN/AuthZ frameworks, and security guardrails within CI/CD workflows
- Drive observability and telemetry: Maintain enterprise-grade observability infrastructure using OpenTelemetry, VictoriaMetrics, and Grafana to give teams visibility into service health and performance
- Automate cloud infrastructure: Codify cloud architecture across AWS services using Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) practices to deliver repeatable, fault-tolerant environments
- Elevate core codebases and culture: Contribute directly to application codebases across product domains while supporting engineering teams on operational standards and service reliability
- Ensure operational excellence: Participate in an on-call rotation for platform capabilities, supporting a “you build it, you run it” operational model
Qualifications
- 5+ years of professional software engineering experience, with at least 3 years focused on platform engineering, infrastructure automation, or distributed systems
- Strong proficiency in Python (required), with experience developing and operating production software; familiarity with Go and/or Rust is beneficial but not required
- Comfortable making direct contributions across core codebases and building automation, developer tooling, and platform services
- Demonstrated practice of reducing manual toil through software, automation, and self-service capabilities
- Hands-on experience orchestrating AWS core infrastructure (ECS, EKS, ALB, Aurora) and codifying systems using Terraform or OpenTofu
- Experience operating foundational identity systems and IdPs, including OAuth2, OIDC, SAML, RBAC, ABAC, and zero-trust IAM architectures
- Practical experience with multi-tenant observability frameworks using OpenTelemetry, VictoriaMetrics (or Prometheus/Thanos), and Grafana
- Experience designing and operating fault-tolerant, multi-tenant distributed systems with compliance controls
- Clear cross-functional communication skills, a team-oriented operational mindset, and readiness to participate in an on-call rotation
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field preferred; equivalent practical experience in platform engineering, DevOps, or software engineering will be considered in lieu of a degree
Technology Skills
- Languages and runtimes: Python (required), Go, Rust
- Cloud and IaC: AWS (ECS, EKS, ALB, Aurora), Terraform, OpenTofu
- Identity and security: OAuth2, OIDC, SAML, RBAC, ABAC, zero-trust IAM
- Observability: OpenTelemetry, VictoriaMetrics (or Prometheus/Thanos), Grafana
- CI/CD and version control tooling
Details
- USA (Remote) position; open to US-based applicants only
- Full time; 40 hours/week, overtime may be required on occasion
- Travel: minimal; occasional travel for team offsites or on-site collaboration
- Reports to the Head of Engineering
