Responsibilities

We are looking for a Senior+ Platform Infrastructure Engineer who thrives in a highly autonomous environment and enjoys taking ownership of complex technical challenges.

Our Platform Infrastructure team is responsible for the foundation that powers all production services. While the team's structure continues to evolve as we grow, its core responsibilities are well established. You'll have the opportunity to influence technical direction, improve platform reliability, and help shape future infrastructure initiatives.

This role is best suited for engineers who enjoy solving problems across multiple infrastructure domains rather than focusing on a single specialization.

You will do:

• Design, build, and operate scalable infrastructure and platform services.

• Improve platform reliability through monitoring, alerting, incident management, and operational excellence.

• Develop and maintain our Kubernetes-based compute platform.

• Work with AWS production infrastructure, including compute, networking, and load balancing.

• Build and enhance observability solutions (monitoring, logging, tracing, alerting).

• Participate in security and compliance initiatives, including vulnerability remediation and infrastructure hardening.

• Support onboarding of new services and facilitate their transition between engineering teams.

• Own projects end-to-end from identifying dependencies and coordinating with stakeholders to successful delivery.

• Drive improvements that reduce operational overhead through automation and better platform design.

• Participate in production releases and on-call rotations.

• Engineers may have opportunities to move between infrastructure teams based on business needs and personal interests, allowing exposure to different technical domains over time.

What We're Looking For

Required Qualifications

• Extensive experience as a Senior Platform Engineer, Infrastructure Engineer, or Site Reliability Engineer.

• Strong sense of ownership and ability to work independently with minimal supervision.

• Ability to identify problems, define priorities, and drive initiatives without waiting for detailed instructions.

• Broad infrastructure background with experience across multiple domains rather than deep specialization in only one area.

• Strong understanding of Linux internals, including:

  • Virtual memory

  • Process resource management

  • cgroups

• Hands-on experience with:

  • Kubernetes

  • Distributed systems

  • AWS production infrastructure (EC2, VPC, Load Balancers, etc.)

  • Networking fundamentals

• Proven ability to deliver complex technical initiatives from concept to production.
