Job summary

Condukt is seeking a Senior Platform Engineer to own the infrastructure powering our distributed systems in Porto. You’ll shape reliability, observability, and security while building paved roads for our engineers.

You’ll operate CI/CD, GCP-based deployments, and on-call incident response, collaborating with product and engineering teams to deliver scalable, secure platforms. This is a fast-growing startup with strong investors and a collaborative culture.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience as a Platform Engineer, SRE, or Senior/Staff Software Engineer in production environments.

• Deep experience with Kubernetes (GKE preferred), Terraform, and infrastructure-as-code.
• Proven experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Cloud Build, ArgoCD, or similar).
• Hands-on experience securing cloud infrastructure: IAM, secrets management, and vulnerability management.

Responsibilities

• Own and evolve CI/CD pipelines, reducing friction and improving deployment safety.
• Implement automation to reduce operational toil and improve mean time to recovery.
• Design, build, and maintain internal developer platforms that enable self-service deployments, testing, and observability.
• Define, monitor, and continuously improve SLIs and SLOs across distributed systems.
• Participate in on-call rotations, lead incident response, and run blameless post-mortems to drive long-term reliability improvements.
• Proactively identify reliability, scalability, and performance risks, and lead initiatives to improve system resilience.
• Own the security of our cloud infrastructure and delivery pipeline.
• Manage and optimize Condukt's cloud infrastructure on GCP (GKE, Cloud Run, Pub/Sub, BigQuery, etc.).
• Maintain and tune Elasticsearch clusters supporting search and indexing workloads.
• Configure and optimize Cloudflare for edge performance, security, and reliability.
• Drive cloud cost efficiency without compromising performance or reliability.
• Partner closely with Product and Engineering teams to support platform needs and roadmap decisions.
