Job description

We are seeking an experienced Senior Platform Engineer to design, build, and operate a modern enterprise platform for unstructured data ingestion, intelligent processing, and AI-enabled user experiences. This is a hands-on full-stack engineering role requiring strong expertise in Java, Spring Boot, Angular, Google Cloud Platform (GCP), and modern AI development tools. You will deliver secure, scalable backend services and intuitive web interfaces while integrating AI capabilities into reliable production workflows.

As a Senior Platform Engineer, you will contribute across the complete product lifecycle—from UI design and API development to cloud architecture, deployment, observability, security, and operational support. You will collaborate with product, UX, data engineering, and AI/ML teams and help establish engineering standards through design reviews, code reviews, and technical mentoring.

As a Platform Engineer, you will balance hands-on architecture and coding with technical mentorship, driving engineering standards, MLOps best practices, Platform reliability, and cross-team alignment.

Key Responsibilities

Full-Stack Platform Engineering

• Design and develop responsive, accessible, and maintainable platform user interfaces using Angular, TypeScript, HTML, and CSS.
• Build secure, scalable microservices and REST APIs using Java and Spring Boot, with clear contracts between frontend and backend components.
• Own features end to end, including solution design, coding, automated testing, deployment, production monitoring, troubleshooting, and continuous improvement.
• Conduct design and code reviews, establish reusable engineering patterns, and mentor engineers on full-stack and cloud-native development practices.

GCP Platform Architecture & Engineering

• Design cloud-native solutions on GCP using services such as Cloud Run, Google Kubernetes Engine, Cloud Functions, Pub/Sub, Cloud Tasks, Workflows, Cloud Scheduler, API management, and load balancing.
• Engineer data and application integrations using Cloud Storage, Cloud SQL, BigQuery, Secret Manager, IAM, networking, logging, monitoring, and security controls.
• Build resilient, observable, and cost-efficient services with appropriate scaling, fault tolerance, retry, disaster recovery, and performance patterns.

AI-Enabled Platform Capabilities

• Integrate current AI and generative AI capabilities into platform workflows using Vertex AI, Gemini models, model APIs, embeddings, vector search, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), and agent-based patterns where appropriate.
• Use modern AI-assisted engineering tools effectively for design, coding, testing, documentation, and troubleshooting while applying secure-development and human-review controls.
• Implement prompt management, evaluation, guardrails, observability, responsible AI practices, and output validation for production AI features.

Platform Reliability

• Drive platform availability, performance, security, accessibility, operational readiness, cost optimization, and production support across frontend, backend, cloud, and AI components.
• Develop automated unit, integration, API, UI, security, and performance tests and maintain CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure as code.
