Senior Platform Engineer

We’re looking for a Senior or Principal Platform Engineer to take a leading role in shaping, scaling, and modernizing our cloud and infrastructure platform. The company already operates a substantial production environment, including Kubernetes, Kafka, ClickHouse, and data pipelines—but now needs a strong platform engineer to unify, standardize, and evolve the platform as the organization grows.

This role offers a rare opportunity to influence engineering direction at the highest level, work directly with leadership, and design the next generation of infrastructure that powers our applications, services, and internal engineering ecosystem.

Ideal candidates are hands-on builders who thrive on ownership, value clean architecture, and enjoy world-class platform engineering.
