Role Overview

We are looking for a Senior Platform Engineer to design, build, and operate cloud infrastructure and internal developer platforms. The role focuses on improving infrastructure reliability, scalability, security, and cost efficiency while enabling engineering teams to deliver software through standardized, automated, and self-service workflows.

The engineer will drive cloud infrastructure modernization, establish Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) practices, develop reusable infrastructure components, and improve developer experience through internal platforms and standardized delivery workflows. The position combines hands-on engineering with technical leadership, cross-team collaboration, and mentoring.

Responsibilities
Cloud Infrastructure & Infrastructure as Code
  • Modernize and manage AWS and Azure infrastructure using Open Tofu/Terraform and Ansible.
  • Establish infrastructure-as-code standards, reusable modules, remote state management, and Git Ops-based infrastructure deployment workflows.
  • Audit cloud environments against AWS and Azure Well-Architected Frameworks and drive improvements across networking, identity and access management, account structure, landing zones, security, and cost governance.
  • Implement policy-as-code and cloud governance controls using OPA/Conftest, AWS Service Control Policies (SCPs), and Azure Policy.
  • Develop reusable infrastructure components for compute, networking, storage, databases, and identity.
  • Establish Fin Ops practices covering resource tagging, cost allocation, rightsizing, and reserved capacity planning.
SRE & Observability
  • Design and maintain observability solutions covering metrics, logs, traces, dashboards, and application performance monitoring.
  • Define Service Level Indicators (SLIs) and Service Level Objectives (SLOs), and implement error budget tracking and burn-rate alerting.
  • Establish SRE practices, including incident runbooks, post-incident reviews, and chaos engineering exercises.
  • Collaborate with engineering teams to improve service instrumentation, alert quality, operational visibility, and reliability.
  • Develop compute and storage capacity planning models to support infrastructure scaling decisions.
Internal Developer Platform & Developer Experience
  • Deploy and operate an internal developer portal, such as Backstage, providing a service catalog, scaffolding templates, runbooks, API documentation, and service ownership information.
  • Build and maintain standardized developer workflows (golden paths) for service creation, Kubernetes deployments, database provisioning, secrets management, and CI/CD setup.
  • Develop self-service provisioning capabilities that allow engineering teams to deploy approved infrastructure resources through automated workflows.
  • Own the CI/CD platform layer, including reusable pipeline templates, workflow libraries, container image build and scanning, and environment promotion processes.
  • Improve developer workflows through security integration, standardized defaults, feedback collection, and continuous platform improvements.
