Senior DevOps​/Platform Engineer Hybrid; Los Altos, CA)

Location
In-office or Remote - (strong preference for overlap with Pacific Time).

Employment Type
Full-time employee.

We’re looking for a Senior Dev Ops / Platform Engineer to improve how our engineering teams design, deploy, and operate cloud infrastructure—and to help product engineers move faster with less operational overhead.

This is not a ticket-driven infrastructure role. You’ll work closely with product and infrastructure engineers to understand how they build and operate services, identify recurring sources of friction, and turn those patterns into pragmatic platform and cloud architecture improvements.

Developer productivity is a core outcome of this role. You’ll help create fast feedback loops, safe self-service workflows, and clear infrastructure patterns that reduce cognitive load and let engineers spend more time building products.

You’ll own problems end to end: investigating developer friction or production risks, proposing solutions, implementing them, and measuring whether they worked. That might mean simplifying an AWS architecture, shortening a deployment workflow, building a reusable platform capability, strengthening observability, or writing Terraform. We care more about your engineering judgment and the outcomes you create than any particular tool.

• Partner with product teams to understand their workloads, constraints, operational pain points, and growth plans.

• Identify patterns across teams and translate them into shared infrastructure capabilities, standards, and paved roads.

• Design and evolve AWS infrastructure with clear tradeoffs across reliability, scalability, security, cost, and developer velocity.

• Improve how engineers provision infrastructure, deploy services, observe production systems, and diagnose failures.

• Build automation and internal tooling that eliminate repetitive work without hiding important operational details.

• Improve CI/CD systems and deployment practices, including safe rollouts, rollback strategies, and infrastructure changes.

• Strengthen observability across applications and infrastructure through useful metrics, logs, traces, dashboards, and alerts.

• Participate in incident response and postmortems, then drive systemic improvements rather than one-off fixes.

• Maintain infrastructure as code and help establish patterns that are understandable, testable, and easy to evolve.

• Collaborate with security and compliance teams to build practical controls into the platform.

• Document architectural decisions and help raise infrastructure and operational standards across engineering.
