Staff Platform Engineer, Cloud Infrastructure & Developer Experience
We are looking for an experienced Staff Platform Engineer to help shape and scale a modern cloud platform powering high impact software teams. This role is built for someone who thrives in a broad technical scope, enjoys solving complex infrastructure challenges, and is passionate about creating an exceptional developer experience.
About The Opportunity
This is a key role on a small but rapidly growing Platform Engineering team. Currently led by a Staff Engineer and reporting directly to the Director of Platform Engineering, the team is expected to expand significantly over the next year. You will have meaningful ownership, strong influence over technical direction, and the chance to work across reliability, automation, and cloud infrastructure at scale.
The ideal candidate brings a strong software engineering foundation, deep AWS expertise, and hands on experience building Kubernetes based platforms with Infrastructure as Code. This is not a traditional systems administrator position. We are seeking someone who codes, builds, and leads.
What You Will Do
Design and evolve cloud infrastructure on AWS to support scalable, reliable production systems
Build and maintain Kubernetes platforms that enable teams to deploy and operate services efficiently
Develop Infrastructure as Code using Terraform, ensuring repeatability, security, and consistency
Create and improve CI/CD pipelines using tools such as GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or similar frameworks
Drive reliability initiatives including observability, incident response, and operational excellence
Partner cross functionally with engineering, product, and security teams to deliver impactful platform solutions
Champion Developer Experience by reducing friction, improving tooling, and accelerating delivery cycles
Contribute directly through coding in languages such as Python, Go, Ruby, JavaScript, Bash, or others
Support security focused efforts, including response readiness and platform level risk mitigation
What We Are Looking For
8 to 15 years of experience in platform engineering, site reliability, or cloud infrastructure roles
Strong and recent hands on AWS expertise in production environments
Deep experience with Kubernetes operations and ecosystem tooling
Advanced Terraform and Infrastructure as Code proficiency
Proven CI/CD engineering experience with modern automation pipelines
A software engineering mindset, with the ability and desire to code regularly
Familiarity with reliability practices such as observability, monitoring, and incident response
Security experience is a plus, especially in operational response or infrastructure hardening
Team Environment
This role is ideal for someone who enjoys being a technical generalist with a wide scope of responsibility. You will help build foundational systems that empower engineering teams, improve delivery velocity, and ensure reliability across the organization. If you enjoy owning problems end to end and working in a highly collaborative culture, this opportunity offers a rare chance to make a major impact early in a growing platform function.
Interview Process Overview
Hiring Manager conversation and Terraform focused technical assessment (60 minutes)
Site Reliability coding challenge (60 minutes) and systems design interview (60 minutes)
Culture and values discussion (60 minutes) plus project deep dive (60 minutes)
If you are excited by modern cloud platforms, infrastructure automation, and building systems that make developers more productive, this is a compelling opportunity to lead at a high level while staying deeply technical.
