Descrição da oferta de emprego

We are looking for a Senior Platform Engineer to join a highly skilled engineering organization building cutting-edge cloud-native solutions focused on real-time data processing, scalability, reliability, and platform evolution.

You will be part of a fast-paced and collaborative environment where engineers are empowered to influence architecture decisions, solve complex infrastructure challenges, and continuously improve platform capabilities at scale.

About the Role

The Platform Engineering Compute team is responsible for the cloud platform architecture that powers both customer-facing services and internal developer platforms. In this role, you will own critical areas of the platform, contribute to strategic technical decisions, and help drive large-scale modernization and migration initiatives.

We are looking for someone with strong engineering maturity, analytical thinking, and a problem-solving mindset — someone capable of understanding complex distributed systems, identifying root causes, and designing scalable long-term solutions.

Experience with infrastructure or platform migrations is highly valued, especially involving Kubernetes, cloud-native environments, CI/CD modernization, or legacy-to-cloud transitions.

Responsibilities

• Design, build, and maintain Kubernetes Operators and platform services
• Lead and support cloud infrastructure modernization and migration initiatives
• Develop cloud-native systems using Go or similar programming languages
• Improve platform scalability, reliability, automation, and operational efficiency
• Automate infrastructure operations, incident response, and self-healing capabilities
• Maintain and evolve CI/CD pipelines and GitOps workflows using tools such as FluxCD or Argo CD
• Participate in incident response, troubleshooting, root cause analysis, and post-incident improvements
• Maintain Infrastructure as Code (IaC) environments using tools such as Terraform or Crossplane
• Support platform lifecycle management, including monitoring, backup, configuration, security, and cost optimization
• Collaborate closely with engineering teams to improve developer experience and platform adoption
• Work with AI-assisted development tools to accelerate development and operational workflows

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or equivalent practical experience
• Strong experience in Platform Engineering, DevOps, SRE, or Cloud Infrastructure roles
• Solid engineering fundamentals and strong logical/problem‑solving skills
• Ability to understand complex technical problems and design scalable solutions
• Proven experience working on infrastructure, cloud, or platform migration projects
• Strong programming skills in Go, Java, or similar languages
• Hands‑on experience with Docker and Kubernetes in production environments
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines and GitOps methodologies
• Experience with cloud platforms such as AWS or GCP
• Knowledge of monitoring and observability tools such as Grafana and Prometheus
• Experience with Infrastructure as Code and cloud automation practices
• Strong ownership mindset, autonomy, and collaboration skills
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management abilities

Nice to Have

• Certifications in Kubernetes or Cloud technologies
• Familiarity with AI‑augmented development tools and workflows
• Experience with cloud‑native platform architecture and modernization strategies

What You’ll Find Here

• Opportunity to work on highly scalable distributed systems
• Modern cloud-native technology stack
• Collaborative and innovation‑driven environment
• Continuous learning and growth opportunities
• Real ownership and impact on platform evolution

Join a team that is redefining how modern platforms are built, operated, and scaled.
