The Infrastructure Delivery team is seeking a skilled Senior Platform Engineer to help us build the foundational infrastructure platform for all our products. Our mission is to create exceptional developer experiences by building tooling that makes it easier for our engineers to write, test, and deploy code.

Our core responsibility is to support the deployment of hundreds of microservices by building intuitive and reliable CI/CD tooling that follows best practices. We also build and operate our Internal Developer Platform (built with Backstage) and several other tools used daily by our engineering team.
We sit at the critical intersection of infrastructure and product development.

You're a Great Fit For This Role If:

• You're energized by making other developers more productive: You take satisfaction in seeing your fellow engineers succeed through the tools you create.
• You want to work with both code and infrastructure: You’re ready to solve the problem at hand, whether it requires writing code on an IDE, running commands on a terminal window, or browsing a cloud dashboard.
• You enjoy a variety of challenges: You love having weeks where you need to be deep in programming, and others where you are troubleshooting failed deployments.
• You use AI in your daily work: You are fully embracing AI capabilities to assist with responsibilities like coding, document writing, and more.

Minimum Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience as a software or platform engineer
• Strong programming skills in an object-oriented language and experience building backend systems, APIs, or developer tools
• Experience developing and running applications with Docker or other container runtimes
• Availability to work during core team hours, 9 am to 12 pm EST
• Ability to participate in 12-hour on-call shifts as required

Preferred Qualifications

Experience with cloud-native container runtimes technologies like Kubernetes

• Experience with GitOps deployment technologies like Argo CD or Flux CD
• Experience with Cloud Infrastructure technologies like Terraform and AWS

You love to seek and implement internal customer feedback to make our products better

• You are a self-starter and can define a problem and work towards a solution independently
• Ability to bridge the gap between application development and infrastructure management

Responsibilities:

• Design and develop tools and services that improve developer productivity and experience
• Configure and maintain CI/CD pipelines to support seamless deployment processes
• Build and enhance our Internal Developer Platform to streamline development workflows
• Create automation solutions for repetitive development and deployment tasks
• Work with development teams to identify and address pain points in their workflows
• Implement systems that make infrastructure more accessible to product developers
• Apply software engineering best practices to infrastructure code and tooling
• Collaborate across teams to ensure developer tools integrate well with our technology stack
• Measure and optimize the effectiveness of developer tooling
• Stay current with emerging technologies and practices in developer experience and platform engineering
• Participate in on-call activities to support the stability of our products
