Our client is seeking a Senior Platform Engineer to help scale and evolve their cloud infrastructure, enabling engineering teams to build and deploy software efficiently, securely, and reliably. This role is ideal for a hands‑on engineer who thrives in modern cloud environments and is passionate about automation, platform reliability, and infrastructure best practices.

The Senior Platform Engineer will play a key role in designing and managing scalable cloud infrastructure, driving Infrastructure as Code (IaC) initiatives, and building robust CI/CD pipelines that accelerate software delivery while maintaining operational excellence.

• Design, build, and maintain scalable, highly available, and secure platform infrastructure across cloud environments.
• Drive Infrastructure as Code (IaC) best practices using tools such as Terraform, Cloud Formation, and Ansible.
• Own and optimize cloud infrastructure across AWS, Azure, and/or GCP, focusing on performance, reliability, scalability, and cost efficiency.
• Build, maintain, and enhance CI/CD pipelines to support fast, safe, and automated application deployments.
• Implement monitoring, logging, alerting, and observability solutions to ensure platform health and operational visibility.
• Collaborate closely with software engineering, security, and Dev Ops teams to improve developer productivity and platform capabilities.
• Automate infrastructure provisioning, configuration management, and operational processes.
• Ensure platform security, compliance, and governance standards are incorporated into infrastructure and deployment workflows.
• Troubleshoot complex infrastructure, networking, and deployment issues across production and non-production environments.
• Evaluate and recommend emerging cloud technologies, tools, and best practices to improve platform operations.

• 5+ years of experience in Platform Engineering, Dev Ops, Site Reliability Engineering (SRE), Cloud Engineering, or related disciplines.
• Strong experience designing and supporting cloud infrastructure in AWS, Azure, and/or Google Cloud Platform.
• Hands‑on experience with Infrastructure as Code tools such as Terraform, Cloud Formation, or Ansible.
• Experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines using tools such as Git Hub Actions, Git Lab CI/CD, Jenkins, Azure Dev Ops, or similar.
• Strong understanding of cloud networking, security, identity management, and infrastructure architecture.
• Experience with containerization and orchestration technologies, including Docker and Kubernetes.
• Proficiency with scripting and automation using Python, Bash, Power Shell, or similar languages.
• Experience implementing monitoring and observability solutions such as Datadog, Prometheus, Grafana, Cloud Watch, or similar.
• Strong troubleshooting and problem‑solving skills in complex distributed systems environments.

• Experience supporting multi‑cloud or hybrid cloud environments.
• Knowledge of platform engineering best practices and developer self‑service tooling.
• Experience with service mesh, API gateways, and cloud‑native architectures.
• Familiarity with security and compliance frameworks.
• Relevant cloud certifications (AWS, Azure, or GCP) are a plus.
