Formación

• 7+ years of cloud platform engineering experience.
• Strong AWS knowledge with multi-account architectures.
• Experience with IaC using Terraform and policy enforcement.

Responsabilidades

• Platform Engineering (Product Mindset) - Designs and operates internal platforms as products, focused on developer experience, onboarding speed, adoption, and measurable delivery outcomes rather than ticket-driven DevOps support.
• Cloud & Infrastructure as Code (AWS-first) - Strong experience building and operating multi-account AWS platforms using modular, versioned IaC (Terraform preferred), with secure defaults and automated enforcement.
• Golden Paths & Standardized Delivery - Creates opinionated, reusable building blocks such as service templates, CI/CD pipeline primitives, Kubernetes baselines, and observability packages with clear upgrade and escape-hatch strategies.
• Self-Service & GitOps Automation - Enables teams through APIs, CLIs, and GitOps workflows (e.g., ArgoCD), reducing manual approvals and support load while maintaining guardrails.
• Containers & Multi-Tenant Kubernetes Platforms - Deep understanding of containerized workloads, Helm-based deployments, and platform-level Kubernetes controls for isolation, quotas, and scalability across many teams.
• Secure-by-Default Architecture - Embeds security via policy-as-code, least-privilege IAM, secrets management, and software supply chain controls so compliant paths are the easiest paths.
• Reliability, Observability & Operations - Treats reliability as a platform feature, implementing SLOs, error budgets, standardized logging/metrics/tracing, safe rollouts, and incident learning loops.
• Automation, Communication & Enablement - Builds productized automation using Python/Shell, writes clear documentation, and influences teams through paved roads, examples, and education-not tribal knowledge.
