Platform Engineer - CI/CD & GitOps Platform

Embedding VC; San Francisco (CA); On-site; USD 180,000 - 260,000; Full time

Job summary

Embedding VC is building a Financial Cloud developer platform in San Francisco. You will implement CI/CD pipelines, GitOps automation, artifact management, and a dependency graph engine to enable 50-100 versioned modules to be built, tested, and deployed across global compliance sites.

You'll work directly with the Platform Architect to turn architecture blueprints into production systems used daily by hundreds of engineers.

Qualifications

• 6+ years in backend/platform engineering.

Responsibilities

• Build module-level CI/CD pipelines: from commit to versioned artifact (Docker image + K8s manifest) published to the artifact registry, with reproducible build enforcement (hermetic environments, pinned toolchains, deterministic outputs)
• Implement build provenance automation: SLSA attestation generation, artifact signing, dependency chain verification integrated into every pipeline; Golden Signals validation in CI that blocks releases missing required metrics endpoints
• Develop the dependency graph database: ingest static dependencies (code imports, API contracts, schema references) + runtime dependencies (service mesh traces), provide queryable graph for impact analysis
• Build change impact analysis tools: given a PR, compute affected modules/sites/tests and surface results in the PR review UI; implement selective test orchestration that only runs dependency-graph-proven relevant tests
• Implement the GitOps deployment engine: ArgoCD/Flux controllers managing site config repos, automated reconciliation, staging → canary → production promotion with Golden Signals monitoring and auto-rollback
• Build site provisioning tooling: scaffolding tools that generate new site config repos with module version pinning + compliance parameters; self-service console for configuration-type sites
• Develop the version management console: module version status, version drift visualization across all sites, batch upgrade workflows, automated changelog generation, compatibility checking before deployment
• Implement the security patch force-push pipeline: automated SECURITY-REQUIRED PR creation across all site repos with SLA tracking and escalation triggers
• Build the four-layer test orchestrator: automated test selection by module/country/scenario tags, parallel execution at scale, coverage gap detection that blocks deployments with actionable feedback
