Job description

About bunny.net

Some people accept the internet as it is. We see what it could be.

At bunny.net, we don't wait for change. We make it happen. You won't find layers of red tape or play-it-safe thinking here. You'll find people who move quickly, take ownership, and push ideas all the way to the edge. Literally.

You'll build things that solve actual problems, not add to them.

We're not perfect, and we don't pretend to be. But we're always improving. We're looking for people who want to do the same, who take pride in their work, and aren't afraid to challenge what's possible.

Because everyone deserves a better internet. And we're here to help it hop faster.

Senior Platform Engineer

As a Senior Platform Engineer, you'll own the services that allow every product team at bunny.net move fast.

With product teams as your internal customers, you'll build scalable, self-service infrastructure and tooling that reduce friction and cognitive load, helping engineers focus on what matters most: building great products.

As the second member of the Platform team, you'll help shape the way platform engineering is built at bunny.net by laying the groundwork for the systems, practices, and culture that will scale with us.

If you're driven to make complex systems simple, reduce manual work, and support a fast-moving engineering org, you'll thrive here.

What will you do?

• Build internal platforms and tools that address common challenges and bring consistency to workflows across product teams.
• Write Infrastructure as Code to deploy and manage Kubernetes clusters using OpenTofu, FluxCD, and Kustomize across all environments.
• Deploy, configure, and optimize core platform services on Kubernetes.
• Build and maintain GitOps workflows to ensure smooth, reliable operations, and service deployments.
• Manage secrets and security using OpenBao, applying best practices across our infrastructure.
• Develop tools and services that reduce friction and help product teams be self-sufficient.
• Troubleshoot infrastructure and deployment issues to keep systems stable and performant.
• Help set up and participate in on-call rotations for Platform services.

What will you bring?

• Strong experience with Kubernetes, container platforms, and infrastructure as code.
• Familiarity with GitOps practices, especially using tools like FluxCD and Kustomize.
• Firm understanding of cloud infrastructure via DigitalOcean, OVH, or similar providers.
• A security-first mindset, with exposure to tools like OpenBao for secrets management, or Keycloak for identity management.
• A knack for automation and CI/CD, reducing manual work and improving reliability.
• Strong troubleshooting skills in complex, distributed systems.
• A collaborative approach to building tools product engineers actually want to use.
• Curiosity and drive to stay sharp in a fast-paced cloud-native world.

What will make us extra happy?

• Experience managing apps across multiple environments with different configs, requirements, and constraints.
• Solid software engineering experience and comfort level with Go and/or Rust.
• Familiarity with observability tools for monitoring, logging, and alerting in Kubernetes setups.
• Knowledge of identity and access management systems like Keycloak or similar.
• A track record of thriving in startups and adapting to change.
• Clear communication and strong documentation skills.
• An understanding of edge computing and distributed deployment models.
• A developer-first mindset for building tools that remove friction and boost productivity.
