Senior Platform Engineer

Stack

Responsibilities

• ▹Design, build and operate scalable infrastructure and tools to support over 1 billion monthly requests, ensuring performance, availability and resilience
• ▹Help with configuration, unblock the occasional stuck deployment and enable teams to manage containerized applications using Kubernetes and cloud-native tooling in a highly dynamic environment
• ▹Collaborate closely with engineering teams and technical leadership to improve reliability, system performance and deployment velocity
• ▹Continuously monitor, test and improve systems to meet fast-growing operational demands, with a focus on automation and observability
• ▹Contribute to infrastructure design decisions and build reusable, modular infrastructure components using Terraform
• ▹Actively share knowledge, improve engineering practices and elevate the team's engineering culture
• ▹Keep a healthy amount of skepticism for LLM-generated code and solutions: the team uses those tools daily, but doesn't ship blindly

Requirements

• ▹5+ years of hands-on experience in Infrastructure Engineering, DevOps, Production Engineering, Platform Engineering or SRE in high-scale production environments
• ▹Proven expertise in cloud-based systems (ideally GCP)
• ▹Confidence in scaling infrastructure for high-traffic services
• ▹Past experience of breaking and fixing Terraform state files without anyone noticing
• ▹Ability to write code (Go and/or TypeScript but any modern language will be fine) but mostly read and quickly comprehend different code bases
• ▹A collaborative and proactive mindset, with a strong interest in sharing expertise, mentoring peers and continuously learning
• ▹The desire to thrive in environments that balance high technical standards with pragmatic decision-making

Nice to have

• ▹Kubernetes expertise: knowing how to run, secure, scale and debug workloads in real-world scenarios
• ▹Deep knowledge in system performance and resilience engineering
• ▹Having seen Terraform evolve over time: experience not only with greenfields but with organically grown, very actively changing stacks
• ▹Bonus points: experience managing rollouts of custom software over global infrastructure, orchestration of multi-tiered, canary or staggered deployments
• ▹Actual in-depth Go or TypeScript coding experience
