Senior Cloud Platform Engineer — Build Reliable Foundations

United States Digital Space LLC; Singapore; Hybrid; SGD 180,000 - 282,000; Full time

Job summary

United States Digital Space LLC seeks a senior platform engineer to own and advance the cloud infrastructure, core services, and observability that power the product. You will design and ship reproducible, secure foundations and APIs that run reliably across customer environments, enabling fast, safe deployments.

You will lead end-to-end cloud deployment, build robust monitoring, and ensure portability across environments while maintaining strong engineering discipline and quality.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science or a related engineering field.
• 6+ years building and shipping production software with real depth in cloud infrastructure and platform engineering.
• Deep hands-on experience building cloud infrastructure with Kubernetes and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform or similar) on at least one major cloud (AWS, GCP, or Azure).
• Experience designing and operating core backend services and APIs that other engineers and systems depend on.
• Hands-on experience building observability into production systems (metrics, logs, and traces) and using it to debug real incidents (Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry, or similar).
• Strong software-engineering fundamentals and hands-on coding in a systems or backend language (Go, Python, Rust, or similar).
• Experience defining service-level objectives and designing for reliability, making systems observable and reproducible from the start.
• Comfort building foundational systems in an early-stage, ambiguous environment, balancing scope, speed, and quality.

Responsibilities

• Build and own the cloud infrastructure foundations (networking, identity and access, Kubernetes, and infrastructure-as-code) that every service and workload runs on.
• Design and build the core platform services and internal APIs the product is made of, meant to run reliably wherever it’s deployed.
• Own the cloud deployment process end to end: the pipeline that turns platform services into versioned, reproducible artifacts and rolls them out with staged releases and clean rollbacks.
• Stand up the observability layer: metrics, logs, traces, dashboards, and alerting that make a failing service quick to find and diagnose.
• Instrument service-level objectives and health signals so reliability is measurable and regressions show up before they reach a customer.
• Keep the foundations portable and reproducible, so the platform stands up the same way across every environment it runs in.
• Produce the deployment-ready building blocks (container images, Helm charts, infrastructure-as-code modules) that make installs and upgrades clean and repeatable wherever the platform runs.
• Harden the platform’s foundations: secrets, certificate handling, and network boundaries that protect the software and its data wherever it runs.
