• Diagnose, Troubleshoot, and Resolve Platform‑Related Issues: primary point of contact for platform issues, analyze logs and metrics, collaborate with development teams, and contribute to incident response plans and post‑mortems.
• Drive Automation Initiatives to Streamline Operational Tasks and Enhance System Reliability: champion automation, create scripts, tools, and workflows to eliminate manual tasks, reduce human error, and improve reliability.
• Act as a Strategic Partner to Development Teams, Understanding and Addressing Their Infrastructure Needs: foster strong relationships with feature teams, provide guidance on platform capabilities, translate needs into platform product features and roadmaps.
• Drive Development of Internal Platform Product and Services: participate in full software development lifecycle of internal tools and APIs to enhance developer productivity.
• Implement and Enforce Rigorous Security Best Practices and Ensure Compliance with Industry Standards: enforce security practices, manage access control, vulnerability management, data encryption, ensure SOC 2 and GDPR compliance, and conduct security audits and penetration testing.

Qualifications

• Demonstrated expertise in building and maintaining scalable, reliable, and secure cloud infrastructure with a focus on automation and efficiency.
• Strong Software Engineering fundamentals and coding proficiency in Go or Typescript (or other relevant languages), including experience with data structures, algorithms, and defensive programming.
• Proven experience with CI/CD tools, such as Argo CD, Atlantis, or similar technologies, and a deep understanding of CI/CD principles and best practices.
• Understanding of networking concepts and protocols.
• Extensive experience with monitoring and logging tools, such as Prometheus, Grafana, and the ELK stack, and a proven ability to diagnose and resolve performance issues.
