Senior Platform Engineer

I’m working with a VC-backed NYC start-up looking for a Senior Platform Engineer to take ownership of the infrastructure and developer platform behind a rapidly scaling product.

This is a hands-on senior IC role where you’ll influence architecture, improve engineering velocity and own critical production infrastructure.

What you’ll work on:

AWS cloud architecture and production infrastructure

Terraform / Infrastructure as Code

CI/CD and developer tooling

Observability, monitoring and incident response

Distributed systems

Networking and security

PostgreSQL and data infrastructure

Reliability, scalability and performance

Building internal tooling and platform services

Establishing infrastructure standards and engineering best practices

What we’re looking for:

Strong Platform Engineering, Infrastructure, DevOps or SRE background

Experience owning production infrastructure at scale

Deep knowledge of AWS and Infrastructure as Code

Strong Kubernetes and containerisation experience

Experience building tooling that improves developer productivity

Understanding of distributed systems, networking and observability

Comfortable making architectural decisions and owning projects end-to-end

Experience within a start-up or high-growth environment is highly desirable

This is ideal for someone who wants high ownership, complex technical problems and the opportunity to shape a platform rather than simply maintain one .
