Senior Platform Engineer; AWS

Your Role

Do you want to build the platform that helps engineering teams move faster, ship safer, and scale smarter?

You'll work at the intersection of Platform Engineering, SRE, Developer Experience, and AI Enablement—building the infrastructure, tooling, and guardrails that power a global SaaS platform.

• Design, build, and operate the cloud-native platform that supports our engineering organization.

• Create reusable platform services, self-service capabilities, and infrastructure standards that help product teams deliver software faster and more reliably.

• Reduce friction across the software development lifecycle.

• Build and improve CI/CD pipelines, internal tooling, automation, and developer workflows that increase productivity and accelerate delivery.

• Partner with engineering teams to continuously improve the developer experience.

• Improve the reliability and performance of our systems.

• Define and maintain SLAs, SLOs, and observability standards using metrics, logs, tracing, and monitoring.

• Support incident response, root-cause analysis, and continuous platform improvements.

• Help shape the next generation of developer platforms.

• Build infrastructure and workflows that support:

  • AI coding assistants such as Git Hub Copilot, Cursor, and future AI development tools

  • Agentic AI infrastructure including MCP servers, tool-calling backends, and secure execution environments

  • AI workload observability including LLM tracing, latency, usage, and cost monitoring

  • Safe AI deployment workflows with model versioning, experimentation, rollbacks, and policy-driven guardrails

• Embed security, compliance, and Infrastructure-as-Code best practices into engineering workflows.

• Design scalable AWS architectures and automation that keep our platform secure, reliable, and ready for growth.

• Share knowledge, mentor engineers, and drive cross-functional platform initiatives.

• Help establish engineering best practices and foster a culture of continuous improvement.
