Job summary

Walrus is building a leading platform for B2B payment verification. We are seeking a Platform Engineer to own the production systems and the tooling engineers rely on to ship the DoubleCheck platform.

You will be the first dedicated owner of this stack, handling uptime, deployments, and incident response. You will write code and automation in a Python and Google Cloud environment alongside product engineers, tackling the biggest risks and explaining trade-offs to stakeholders.

Qualifications

• You have run production systems for a web application and been on call for them.
• You write code. Most of this job is automation, in a Python and Google Cloud codebase alongside the product engineers.

• You can explain a security or reliability trade-off to someone who isn’t an engineer.

Responsibilities

• Dependencies: keeping our stack, and everything underneath it, patched quickly.
• Developer platform: CI, the test suite, build and update scripts, and developer documentation.
• Access: who can reach production and production data, and how.
• Security of company systems: cloud identity and access policies, device management, and endpoint protection.
• Compliance: backups and retention, penetration tests and audits, and the technical side of client security questionnaires.
