Senior Platform Engineer

Key Responsibilities:

• Design, implement, and manage AWS infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code (CDK preferred, but open to other tools).
• Develop and maintain CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions.
• Manage and optimize Kubernetes (EKS) clusters at scale, implementing advanced autoscaling strategies beyond HPA (e.g., KEDA).
• Enhance monorepo development workflows (we use Nx for trunk-based development continuous delivery).
• Drive standardization abstraction, ensuring teams can deploy applications without managing Kubernetes internals.
• Improve availability, security, and cost efficiency through platform-level enhancements.
• Troubleshoot and resolve infrastructure issues in a high-scale, fast-paced environment.
• Support a rotating 24/7 on-call schedule (ensuring platform reliability).

Must-have requirements:

• ✅ Extensive AWS expertise - AWS must be your primary cloud (or you must have deep experience in another cloud and be able to upskill rapidly).
• ✅ Deep Kubernetes knowledge - ideally EKS, but strong Kubernetes experience elsewhere is acceptable.
• ✅ Strong coding background - we need software engineers, not IT operations professionals.
• ✅ Cloud architecture knowledge, particularly AWS Well-Architected Framework.
• ✅ Ability to work independently in a fast-moving, high-scale environment.

Nice to have:

• Expertise in TypeScript AWS CDK (Python is also fine).
• Experience managing monorepos trunk-based development.
• Familiarity with service mesh technologies (e.g., Istio).
• CI/CD experience with GitHub Actions.
• Experience with AWS multi-account environments (Landing Zone, Control Tower).
• Experience managing hybrid Kubernetes clusters (Windows/Linux).

What's in it for You?

• Cutting-edge cloud engineering: Work on a fully automated Kubernetes-driven platform with high-scale AWS infrastructure.
• High-impact work: Your changes affect all developer teams, optimizing efficiency, security, and cost.
• Growth autonomy: Work on complex engineering challenges with a team that values deep expertise.
• AWS Kubernetes mastery: Work on advanced cloud and Kubernetes scaling strategies, beyond typical ECS-based workloads.
• Eliminate manual operations: Join a team that presses a button to launch a new region in hours, not weeks.
