📋 Description

• Serve as a technical anchor on the Platform Engineering Team, driving architectural decisions, leading complex initiatives, and raising the bar for how we build and operate infrastructure. • Sit at the intersection of deep individual contribution and technical leadership: you're hands-on in the work while also shaping how the team approaches problems, mentoring engineers, and partnering cross-functionally to ensure our systems are reliable, secure, and built to scale. • Lead the design and implementation of scalable, reliable, and secure system architecture across the platform. • Identify and drive systemic improvements, proactively surfacing technical debt, reliability gaps, and opportunities to modernize. • Own and optimize cloud infrastructure, networking, and database systems for high availability and performance. • Implement and monitor security protocols to protect systems against vulnerabilities and maintain compliance with applicable standards. • Manage and continuously refine CI/CD pipelines to support reliable, efficient software deployments. • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to maintain consistent and reproducible development environments.

🎯 Requirements

• 7+ years of experience in platform engineering, infrastructure management, or a similar role, with a track record of leading complex technical initiatives end to end. • Demonstrated experience owning and advancing system architecture; not just maintaining existing infrastructure, but meaningfully improving it. • Professional experience building APIs, writing production-grade scripts, and making substantive contributions to shared codebases beyond configuration and deployment work. • Proven ability to influence technical direction and mentor engineers without direct authority. • Experience collaborating with and presenting to non-technical stakeholders, translating infrastructure needs into business terms. • Deep expertise in cloud infrastructure, networking, and/or database management. • Strong technical expertise in cloud services, networking, and/or database management. • Solid understanding of security protocols, compliance frameworks, and operational best practices. • Advanced experience with CI/CD pipelines, containerization (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes), and infrastructure-as-code (e.g., Terraform, Ansible). • Solid understanding of industry standards and compliance requirements, including ISO, SOC, or other relevant certifications. • Preferred: Experience with Elasticsearch and SQL, for operational reporting and data visibility. • Preferred: Experience with AI/ML tooling, LLM integrations, or cross-functional AI enablement initiatives.
