Job Summary

We are seeking a DevOps/Platform Engineer to build, operate, and scale the company’s platform infrastructure and developer tooling. The successful candidate will collaborate with Product, Engineering, Security, and IT teams to design reliable, secure, and automated platform services that enable rapid software delivery. This role requires strong hands-on engineering skills, ownership of platform reliability, and the ability to translate operational requirements into production-ready solutions.

Key Responsibilities

Platform Engineering & Operations

• Design, implement, and operate scalable platform services across cloud (AWS, Azure, GCP) and hybrid environments, including compute, networking, storage, and observability components.

• Build and maintain infrastructure-as-code (IaC) using Terraform, CloudFormation, or similar tools to provision and manage platform resources safely and reproducibly.

• Ensure platform reliability and availability through capacity planning, performance tuning, and operational runbooks.

CI/CD, Automation & Developer Experience

• Design, operate, and improve CI/CD pipelines to enable fast, reliable, and secure software delivery for engineering teams.

• Automate platform operations, deployments, and routine tasks using scripting or orchestration tools (e.g., Python, Go, Bash, Ansible).

• Partner with developers to improve developer experience, create self-service workflows, and provide tooling that reduces cognitive load; Cost Optimization

  • Work with Security and Compliance teams to integrate secure-by-default platform configurations, secrets management, and least-privilege access controls.

  • Participate in cost management activities, including rightsizing, reserved instances/savings plans, and monitoring to optimize cloud spend.

  • Contribute to architecture reviews and operational risk assessments to ensure platform changes meet security and compliance requirements.

  Documentation, Training & Collaboration

  • Produce and maintain platform documentation, runbooks, architecture diagrams, and onboarding guides for engineering teams.

  • Provide training and mentorship to engineers on platform best practices, tooling, and operational procedures.

  • Work cross-functionally to align platform roadmap with product goals and engineering needs, and to support vendor evaluations and integrations.

  Required Qualifications - Skills & Experience

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.

  • 3+ years of hands-on experience in platform engineering, DevOps, SRE, or related roles supporting production systems.

  • Practical experience with public cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP), containerization (Docker, Kubernetes), and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, CloudFormation).

  • Experience building and operating CI/CD systems, automation pipelines, and developer self-service tooling.

  • Strong scripting or programming skills (e.g., Python, Go, Bash) for automation and tooling development.

  • Familiarity with observability tooling (metrics, logging, tracing), incident management, and defining SLOs/SLIs.

  • Effective written and verbal communication skills with the ability to document technical designs and collaborate with cross-functional teams.

  Preferred Qualifications

  • Relevant certifications such as AWS Certified DevOps Engineer, Kubernetes (CKA/CKAD), or similar cloud/platform credentials preferred.

  • Experience with GitOps, service mesh technologies, and platform as a product principles is advantageous.

  • Previous experience in high-availability, multi-region deployments and cost optimization strategies preferred.

  • Familiarity with security and compliance frameworks (SOC 2, ISO 27001, NIST) and supporting operational controls is a plus.

  Work Environment & Compensation

  • Full-time role with a hybrid onsite/remote work model; occasional travel may be required for stakeholder meetings or incident response coordination.

  • Competitive salary commensurate with experience and a comprehensive benefits package, including health insurance, retirement plan options, and paid time off.

  • Opportunities for professional development, certification support, and career progression within Platform and Engineering functions.

  • Inclusive and respectful workplace culture that values diversity, equity, and work-life balance.
