Platform Engineer

We’re looking for a Platform Engineer to improve the infrastructure, developer tooling, and delivery workflows used by more than 100 engineers.

The role combines infrastructure and software development, with an approximate 65/35 split. You’ll work on cloud infrastructure, deployment automation, observability, CI/CD, and internal tooling. The goal is to make development and releases more reliable, efficient, and straightforward.

What you’ll do

• Improve developer experience and engineering productivity by building tools and workflows that make it easier for engineers to develop, test, and ship software.
• Maintain infrastructure automation with Ansible, Terraform, and Terragrunt.
• Improve the reliability and performance of our CI/CD workflows.
• Find the causes of slow builds, failed pipelines, and flaky tests.
• Develop internal tools, improve test infrastructure, and occasionally work on product features.
• Improve observability across our infrastructure and delivery workflows using OpenTelemetry, ELK.
• Leverage AI to improve engineering workflows by building cloud-based agent tools and helping teams adopt effective practices.

Our tech stack

AWS, Terraform, Terragrunt, Ansible, Jenkins, Docker, ELK, ClickHouse, MongoDB, PostgreSQL, and Ruby-on-Rails.

What we’re looking for

• Experience developing and maintaining complex CI/CD workflows.
• Software development experience, such as building internal tools, APIs, backend services, or automation.
• Experience with AWS or another cloud provider.
• Telemetry and monitoring experience (OpenTelemetry, Grafana, Kibana).
• Strong Computer Science and System Design fundamentals.
• Willingness to learn and use Ruby and/or Go.

What we’d be particularly excited about

• Experience optimizing CI build times, especially with Jenkins.
• Experience with Docker or Kubernetes.
• Experience with Ruby, Python, or JavaScript.
• Familiarity with build systems such as Webpack or Gradle.
