• Implement monitoring, logging, and alerting standards for services built on the platform.
• Contribute to the automated testing frameworks and quality checks built into the developer workflow.
• Help measure developer productivity and platform adoption through dashboards and reporting.
• Participate in the team’s support rotation, troubleshoot platform issues, and automate recurring requests.
• Take part in design reviews, and write documentation and runbooks for the components you own.
• Review InnerSource contributions from other teams, and mentor Level I engineers on team standards and practices.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field preferred.
• 2-3 years of experience in Software, DevOps, or platform engineering.
• Proficiency in at least one programming language, such as TypeScript, Python, or Go.

• Understanding of good software engineering practices: version control, code review, and automated testing.
• Familiarity with application security scanning in CI/CD pipelines.
• Ability to troubleshoot build, deployment, and pipeline failures independently.
