Job summary

Redox is seeking a Staff Platform Engineer to advance our cloud-native platform. You will own end-to-end platform work, build foundations for AI-enabled operations, and push production-grade infrastructure across AWS, Kubernetes, and tooling.

You will join a fully remote US-based team, collaborating with a senior staff and platform architect to scale secure, observable systems while reducing toil and costs.

Qualifications

• 8+ years in cloud-native infrastructure or platform engineering roles.
• Deep, hands-on AWS experience running production systems.
• Production Kubernetes expertise, including cluster lifecycle, upgrades, node management, and autoscaling.
• Strong infrastructure-as-code practice (Terraform/HCL, Helm) and experience with GitOps-style delivery
• A track record of automating operational work, with testing and rollback safety.
• A security-minded approach to access, secrets, and configuration, ideally in a regulated environment
• High output on ambiguous problems: taken loosely defined work from prototype to production
• Sound judgment and strong written communication: you write clear proposals with tradeoffs

Responsibilities

• Own an ambiguous lane of platform work end to end: scope it, prototype and experiment, then turn what works into production-ready code
• Build the foundations that let AI agents safely take part in engineering and operations: where they run, how they’re permissioned, and how their actions are observed and audited
• Keep security, stability, and scale as the baseline as traffic grows and agents gain autonomy, partnering with InfoSec to harden the platform and reduce single points of failure
• Simplify the platform over time: consolidate tools, vendors, and patterns so humans and agents can do the right thing because it’s the easy thing
• Automate recurring upkeep wherever practical, so necessary maintenance takes less human effort
• Help make platform and AI costs understandable to the people making commercial, operational, and technical decisions
• Co-create the platform’s direction with the team and our platform architect: bring informed opinions, calibrate with others, and align your work to where we’re headed
• Contribute hands-on across the platform, including infrastructure, CI/CD, container orchestration, and observability. This is an IC role.
• Participate in on-call and own the systems you build, including production incidents
• Share knowledge with a highly senior team of peers through pairing, design reviews, and documentation
