Senior Platform Engineer - Payrix

Senior Platform Engineer – Payrix

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.

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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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,…
