Senior Platform Engineer

This is a platform engineer, not a traditional SRE. We want a strong software engineer who specializes in infrastructure - someone who builds tooling, golden paths, and self-service abstractions for product teams, not just someone who operates clusters. Hard software engineering skills are the bar; infra and SRE depth is how that bar gets applied.

This role will include:

• IaC repos: typed component resources, factories, multi-env stacks ( Pulumi , Terraform )
• The EKS platform: Karpenter autoscaling , and GitOps delivery via ArgoCD , Kargo , and Helm
• CI/CD pipelines ( GitHub Actions ) and release automation
• Developer-experience tooling and AI-driven development workflows (skills, hooks, MCP servers, managed agents)
• Observability, network and edge security, and SOC 1 + SOC 2 evidence automations

Our Stack

• AWS + EKS
• Pulumi (TypeScript) + Terraform
• Kubernetes
• ArgoCD + Kargo + Helm GitOps
• Aurora PostgreSQL + Prisma + Slonik
• DynamoDB
• EventBridge + SQS
• OpenTelemetry + Datadog

About You

A strong, infrastructure-minded software engineer will thrive in this role! If you're excited about building developer platforms, AI-driven workflows, and rock-solid cloud infrastructure, apply with us!

What you’ve accomplished:

• Strong AWS services knowledge
• Strong in JavaScript , TypeScript , and Node
• Solid grasp of parallel programming
• Deep PostgreSQL and ORM optimization skills ( Prisma , Slonik , etc.)
• Hands-on with NoSQL databases ( Redis , DynamoDB , Elasticsearch , etc.)
• Strong system design and microservice architecture (event-driven, idempotent consumers, fanout, etc.)
• Experience with message brokers
• Comfortable with infrastructure as code, any tool works ( Terraform , Pulumi , AWS CDK , or similar)
• Experience building RESTful APIs
• Production Kubernetes experience, ideally EKS ( Karpenter , VPC CNI with NetworkPolicy, managed node groups, multi-cluster)
• Familiarity with observability standards and tooling, vendor-agnostic ( OpenTelemetry , any APM platform)
• Network segmentation know-how (VPCs, subnetting, security groups, firewall config, DNS, etc.)
• Edge and network security ( CloudFront , WAF , ACM certificates , on top of VPC segmentation)
• Pipeline configuration, ideally GitHub Actions
• Strong in AI-driven development ( Claude , Codex , Cursor , or similar) and fluent in its building blocks: skills, hooks, custom commands, managed agents, etc.

Nice to have:

• GraphQL or gRPC
• GitOps with ArgoCD , Kargo , and Helm
• Certifications ( AWS , CNCF , Linux Foundation , etc.)
• Security tooling ( SAST , Software Composition Analysis , IAST , SIEM , threat management) and compliance frameworks like SOC 1 and SOC 2
• SRE and reliability practices ( SLOs , error budgets, incident response, runbooks, on-call)
• FinOps and cost management (cost allocation on EKS , right-sizing, Savings Plans)
• Compliance automation ( SOC 2 evidence, IAM Identity Center and permission sets, least-privilege access)

What you care about:

• Customer Obsession: You care deeply about our customers and go the extra mile to delight them
• Intentional Communication: You have a bias towards written communication and documentation to open up access to your thinking, and you listen with openness and curiosity.
