Engineering Hub – Platform Engineer

Location:

Toronto, ON (Hybrid)

Reports to:

Senior Manager, Platform Engineering

operates a modern, regulated, multi‑platform engineering ecosystem spanning cloud, edge, CI/CD, observability, and data platforms. As the platform surface grows, we’re looking for strong Platform Engineers who can:

• Build and evolve paved roads for software engineers
• Operate confidently across cloud and edge architectures
• Reduce friction, risk, and toil across delivery teams
• Partner closely with Security, Operations, and Software Engineering

You’ll contribute to and operate across the core platforms currently , including:

• AWS (Lambda, API Gateway, IAM, networking, managed services)
• Hybrid workloads spanning serverless and VM-based systems
• Regional and environment‑aware deployment patterns

• Cloudflare as a first‑class platform, including:
• CDN and edge routing
• Cloudflare Workers for edge APIs and request transformation
• DNS, SSL/TLS, and traffic management
• WAF, bot management, rate limiting, and DDoS protection
• Integration between Cloudflare edge and AWS

• Git Lab CI/CD pipelines
• Terraform for infrastructure provisioning and change control
• Environment consistency across production and non‑production

• Datadog (metrics, logs, traces)
• Platform-level alerting and signal hygiene
• Incident prevention in partnership with Engineering Operations

• Relational databases (e.g., MariaDB or managed RDS‑style platforms)
• Event‑driven and data‑pipeline integrations (where applicable)
• Secure data access patterns and operational guardrails

• Build and maintain standardized platform components used by product teams
• Improve developer experience through self‑service tooling and automation
• Reduce bespoke infrastructure patterns and undocumented tribal knowledge
• Treat internal platforms as products, with consumers and feedback loops

• Implement and evolve Cloudflare and AWS patterns for performance, reliability, and security
• Support edge use cases such as API proxying, validation, and transformation
• Ensure consistent routing, TLS, and traffic controls across environments
• Participate in Cloudflare operational readiness and incident response workflows

• Embed security and compliance guardrails into platform primitives
• Partner with Security Engineering on:
• WAF tuning
• Firewall rules
• Edge security analytics
• Reduce platform‑caused incidents through automation and standardization
• Contribute to post‑incident remediation and systemic fixes

• Use approved AI‑assisted tooling to:
• Analyze logs and metrics
• Reduce alert noise
• Accelerate root‑cause analysis
• Ensure AI is used responsibly, with human review and auditability

• Software Engineers adopt standard platform paths by default
• Faster environment provisioning with fewer manual steps
• Reduced edge‑ and platform‑related incidents
• Clear, observable behavior across cloud and edge layers
• Platforms that scale without increasing cognitive load

• Strong experience as a Platform, Cloud, or Infrastructure Engineer
• Hands‑on experience with AWS cloud services
• Hands‑on experience managing Cloudflare (CDN, Workers, DNS, WAF, TLS)
• Experience with Terraform and modern CI/CD pipelines (Git Lab or equivalent)
• Comfort working across networking, security, and application boundaries
• Strong troubleshooting and systems‑thinking skills
• Experience with edge and cloud architectures (Cloudflare + AWS)
• Observability tooling experience (e.g., Datadog)
• Database operational experience (MariaDB‑style systems)
• Experience operating in regulated or high‑availability environments
• Familiarity with AI‑assisted diagnostics or platform analytics

The compensation package consists of a competitive salary, perks, and an incentive bonus.
