Senior Infrastructure & Platform Engineer

About the Opportunity

UserTesting is evolving our engineering foundation into a cohesive, modern platform, one that empowers developers to move quickly with confidence while ensuring our systems remain secure, reliable, and efficient.

We are looking for an experienced Senior Infrastructure & Platform Engineer to help build and scale the internal platform capabilities that underpin the UserTesting product. This role sits within the Operations & Infrastructure team, part of the broader Platform group, and focuses on creating opinionated, well-designed infrastructure and developer experiences that reduce cognitive load and accelerate delivery.

What You Will Do

• Design, build, and maintain AWS infrastructure using Terraform, reusable modules, and modern IaC patterns.

• Develop and operate Kubernetes (EKS) clusters, ensuring scalability, cost effectiveness, and secure-by-default configurations.

• Shape and evolve internal platform capabilities: golden paths, templates, and self-service tooling that enable engineering teams to ship faster and safer.

• Enhance and standardize CI/CD experiences using GitHub Actions to promote consistency, reliability, and high developer satisfaction.

• Implement policy-as-code and automated guardrails that embed security, cost controls, and operational excellence into the platform layer.

• Build and maintain shared monitoring, metrics, and logging foundations (Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, etc.).

• Work closely with product engineering teams to understand friction points and co-design abstractions that simplify complex infrastructure concerns.

• Improve internal documentation, onboarding guides, and developer experiences that scale through self-service, not manual support.

What You Bring

• 7+ years in Infrastructure, SRE, DevOps, or similar roles supporting cloud-native SaaS environments.

• Deep proficiency with AWS services (compute, networking, IAM, storage) and Kubernetes at production scale (preferably EKS).

• Expertise in Terraform, GitHub Actions, and automation-first workflows.

• Strong scripting ability (Python, Bash) and hands-on experience with observability tooling.

• A platform-product mindset: you care about user experience, maintainability, and measurable improvements to developer velocity.

• Passion for automation, well-designed abstractions, and building systems that scale with adoption—not headcount.

• Ability to partner effectively across teams, communicate clearly, and influence through technical leadership.

• Commitment to reliability, security, and performance as built-in characteristics—not afterthoughts.

Why You Will Love Working Here

• Shape the future of UserTesting’s internal platform during a pivotal transformation.

• Work on high-impact systems that directly improve developer productivity, reliability, and delivery speed.

• Collaborate with thoughtful engineers who value quality, simplicity, and innovation.

• Enjoy a flexible, outcome-focused environment where ownership and craftsmanship are highly valued.

• Help build internal products and paved paths that empower engineering across the company.
