• Partnering with product, security, and operations teams to align on requirements and ensure solutions meet evolving business and technical needs.
• Supporting incident response and contributing to post‑incident reviews and platform reliability improvements.
• Driving adoption of best practices in automation, observability, and secure‑by‑default infrastructure design.
• Mentoring junior engineers and contributing to a culture of learning, collaboration, and technical excellence.

What You’ll Bring

• Significant hands‑on experience in platform engineering, SRE, infrastructure, or DevOps roles.
• Proficiency with Kubernetes, cloud infrastructure (AWS), containerization, IaC (e.g. Terraform) and configuration management (e.g. Ansible).
• Background in system design, distributed systems, and software engineering principles.
• Experience building internal platform capabilities such as deployment systems, monitoring/observability tooling, or infrastructure automation.
• Solid understanding of CI/CD principles, pipeline design, and operational best practices.
• Strong problem‑solving skills, with the ability to navigate complexity and make sound technical decisions.
• Excellent collaboration and communication skills, with the ability to work across teams and disciplines.
• A mindset of ownership and continuous improvement, with a passion for creating scalable and developer‑friendly systems.
