Software Engineer, Platfrom Engineering

Accountabilities

• Design, develop, and maintain platform features, infrastructure components, and engineering tools supporting the full software development lifecycle, including build, testing, deployment, and operations.

• Support the migration, rollout, and adoption of new platform capabilities, tools, and technologies across engineering teams.

• Improve platform stability, scalability, availability, and security in collaboration with Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) and Security teams.

• Enhance service and platform observability to improve monitoring, reduce incidents, optimize performance, and manage infrastructure costs.

• Automate recurring platform operations and engineering workflows to reduce manual effort, operational complexity, and technical toil.

• Build and maintain scalable cloud infrastructure and platform services that support production workloads.

• Advocate for engineering best practices, infrastructure automation, and efficient software development processes.

• Engage with internal developers and stakeholders to understand their challenges, gather requirements, and identify opportunities to improve developer experience.

• Contribute to technical decision-making, solution design, and prioritization of platform initiatives.

• Develop practical solutions using existing tools and technologies while promoting maintainability, reliability, and operational efficiency.

Requirements:

• At least 6 years of experience developing, operating, and maintaining complex, scalable production systems, including cloud-based platforms and infrastructure.

• Strong computer science fundamentals and in-depth knowledge of a major cloud provider such as AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud Platform (GCP).

• Hands-on experience with containerization and orchestration technologies such as Docker and Kubernetes in production environments.

• Strong proficiency in scripting and automation using languages such as Bash, Go, or Python.

• Extensive experience implementing and managing Infrastructure as Code (IaC), particularly using tools such as Terraform.

• Excellent written communication skills, including the ability to document technical designs and collaborate effectively with stakeholders.

• Strong teamwork, interpersonal, and problem-solving skills, with the ability to adapt to a dynamic engineering environment.

• Passion for improving developer productivity and experience through scalable infrastructure, automation, and platform engineering.

• Pragmatic approach to technical challenges, with an emphasis on selecting appropriate technologies and leveraging existing tools rather than unnecessarily reinventing solutions.

• Preferred qualifications: Experience with distributed systems and microservices architecture; understanding of Service Level Agreements (SLAs) and Service Level Objectives (SLOs); familiarity with monitoring and observability tools such as Datadog, Prometheus, Graphite, Grafana, Kibana, or Elasticsearch; contributions to open-source projects or communities; and production experience with service mesh technologies such as Istio, Kong, or Linkerd.
