Senior Platform Engineer

Job description

Job responsibilities

• Own pieces of core platform infrastructure, including the Terraform migration (VPC, IAM, networking), CI/CD pipelines, and environment provisioning, as part of a growing infrastructure team
• Build and maintain the tooling and abstractions that let product engineers ship and run their own code without solving infrastructure problems from scratch
• Advance our observability foundation, including remaining service instrumentation and building out our metrics collection pipeline
• Standardize monitoring and alerting, including business and financial operations metrics and synthetic monitoring
• Harden CI/CD pipelines, including secrets migration and building self-service deployment tooling
• Support GCP infrastructure work as our platform scales, including dead-letter queue handling and other reliability pieces of our messaging system
• Help build out compliance remediation tooling, local dev/onboarding tooling, GCP cost visibility, and infra architecture documentation as these needs are validated
• Operate independently on production infrastructure changes, since most of this work is scoped execution rather than architecture-setting

Job requirements

• 5+ years in a platform engineering, infrastructure engineering, or backend engineering role with significant infrastructure ownership
• Experience building or significantly maturing internal developer tooling, CI/CD systems, or service platforms, rather than only operating within an already-mature setup
• Experience operating in a startup or small-team environment where you own meaningful infrastructure surface area and there isn't always a playbook
• Direct experience with cloud infrastructure (GCP preferred, AWS or Azure also relevant) in production, including infrastructure-as-code
• Track record of partnering closely with product engineering teams to unblock their work, not just maintaining infrastructure in isolation
• Comfort operating independently on production infra (Terraform, IAM, CI/CD) without heavy review
• Strong proficiency with infrastructure-as-code tools (e.g., Terraform, CloudFormation, Pulumi)
• Experience with container orchestration (Kubernetes, ECS, or similar) and building CI/CD pipelines from the ground up
