the role
we are seeking a senior platform engineer to join our platform team. you will be responsible for building the technical foundation that hundreds of developers will use daily.
your goal is to make kubernetes "invisible" for our developers. you will design and implement the automated machinery-the "paved road"-that enables application teams to move from code to production securely and reliably, without managing the underlying infrastructure themselves.
responsibilities
platform engineering & automation
internal Developer platform (idp): build and maintain our Developer portal, creating a unified "single pane of glass" for service catalogs, self-service actions, and scorecards. k8s core: design, implement, and maintain production-grade kubernetes clusters with a focus on multi-tenancy, security, and high availability. gitops mastery: implement and manage automated deployment workflows using gitops principles (argocd or flux). self-service apis: create abstractions (using tools like crossplane or custom cli tools) to simplify cloud resource provisioning and integrate them directly into idp. Developer experience (devex)
workflow optimization: analyze the Developer 's "inner and outer loops" to identify friction points and automate them away via the idp. standardization: create helm charts, ci/cd templates, and "gold path" configurations that embody best practices for security and observability. technical mentorship: act as a subject matter expert for r&d teams, providing guidance on containerization, microservices architecture, and cloud-native patterns. operational excellence
observability: build comprehensive monitoring and logging stacks (prometheus, grafana, opentelemetry) and surface these metrics within idp to give developers deep insights. security & compliance: implement automated policy enforcement (opa/kyverno) and ensure all platform components adhere to identity security standards. infrastructure as code: maintain 100% of the platform via iac tools like terraform/pulumi/opentofu etc. qualifications
