Senior Platform Engineer - Payrix

Job Description Ready to take your career global?

Make your mark at one of the biggest names in payments. We’re looking for a Senior Platform Engineer – Payrix to join our ever-evolving Payrix platform engineering team and help shape the future of global commerce.

What you’ll own Payrix is looking for a Senior Platform Engineer to help design, build, operate, and improve the cloud-native platform that Payrix engineering teams use to deliver payments capabilities safely, and s role sits inside the Payrix Platform Engineering team, which owns and enables the shared infrastructure, CI/CD, Git Hub governance, infrastructure-as-code, security tooling, and developer experience patterns that Payrix services depend on across regulated PCI-DSS and SOC 2 environments within the Worldpay / Global Payments ecosystem.

Platform Engineering & Developer Enablement Build and improve Payrix’s internal platform capabilities so engineering teams can provision, deploy, observe, and operate services through clear, self-service patterns.

Define and maintain golden paths for new and existing Payrix services, including EKS, infrastructure-as-code, Git Hub Actions, observability, tagging, secrets, access, and disaster recovery readiness.

Reduce friction and cognitive load for service teams by turning repeated manual steps into documented, automated, reusable workflows.

Create platform documentation, runbooks, examples, and implementation guidance in Confluence and code repositories so knowledge is searchable and sustainable.

Partner with engineering teams as an enabling platform team: teach, pair, consult, and build with teams while leaving long-term service ownership clear.

Cloud Infrastructure, EKS & Kubernetes Design, implement, and operate AWS and EKS platform foundations across Payrix environments, including cluster patterns, Kubernetes access guidance, cluster-level integrations, add-ons, node groups, ingress, certificates, secrets, runners, and shared operational guidance.

Contribute to multi-region and disaster recovery platform foundations, including EKS patterns, infrastructure readiness, environment consistency, and validation support.

Help modernize legacy and lower-environment deployment paths by enabling the move from Jenkins-based flows to Git Hub Actions and standardized cloud-native delivery patterns.

Troubleshoot complex infrastructure and platform issues across AWS, Kubernetes, CI/CD, networking, access, and runtime layers.

Infrastructure as Code & Automation Build and maintain infrastructure-as-code using Terraform, Terraform Cloud, Pulumi, and supporting automation.

Help evolve Payrix’s IaC standards, module patterns, repository structure, stack organization, migration strategy, and governance-as-code practices.

Support active platform migrations, including Pulumi Cloud to S3 backend work and Terraform / Terraform Cloud patterns for non-data Payrix workloads.

Design automation that is repeatable, auditable, secure, and compatible with Payrix, Worldpay, and Global Payments operating requirements.

CI/CD, Git Hub Governance & Engineering Tooling Improve engineering velocity and reliability through Git Hub Actions, deployment automation, branch protection, repository standards, custom repository properties, service account guidance, and developer tooling improvements.

Partner with service teams to establish clear workflow ownership:
Platform owns the enablement patterns and shared infrastructure; service teams own their application deployment workflows after handoff.

Support Payrix Git Hub organization governance, access standardization, and repository hygiene in alignment with Entra / MyAccess / SCIM and Worldpay standards.

Use Jira and Confluence consistently so platform work, decisions, and operational knowledge remain visible and durable.

Security, Compliance & Reliability Build platform capabilities that satisfy PCI-DSS, SOC 2, data protection, and Worldpay landing zone expectations.

Support Snyk onboarding, project organization, policy and tagging conventions, and alert-routing standards while partnering with application teams on remediation ownership.

Contribute to observability, resiliency, performance,…
