About the role

Platform Engineering role focused on building and operating the foundation for rapid, secure, and scalable deployment of services, ML models, and data jobs. Owns CI/CD, infrastructure-as-code, cloud deployment strategy, and DevSecOps practices to enable a fast-moving team while maintaining security, reliability, and observability.

Responsibilities

  • Design, build, and operate cloud infrastructure across environments using infrastructure-as-code; make it reproducible, reviewable, and easy to evolve.
  • Own CI/CD end to end: build pipelines, artifact management, testing gates, progressive delivery, and rollback strategies for services, ML models, and data jobs.
  • Automate infrastructure scaling and deployments, autoscaling for GPU and CPU workloads, capacity planning, and cost controls that keep cloud spend proportional to value.
  • Embed security into the platform: secrets management, IAM and least-privilege access, vulnerability scanning, dependency and container hardening, policy-as-code, and audit logging.
  • Build observability as a platform capability: metrics, logs, tracing, alerting, and SLOs that engineers can adopt with minimal friction.
  • Run large-scale cloud deployments reliably, including incident response and post-incident improvements.
  • Create developer tooling and paved paths so product engineers can ship safely without becoming infrastructure experts.

Qualifications

  • 4+ years of experience in platform, infrastructure, DevOps, or SRE roles supporting production systems at meaningful scale.
  • Hands-on DevSecOps experience and integrating security scanning, secrets handling, access control, and compliance checks directly into delivery pipelines.
  • Deep experience with CI/CD tooling (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Buildkite, ArgoCD, Jenkins, etc.) and deployment strategies (blue/green, canary, feature flags).
  • Strong experience with AWS (or GCP / Azure) at scale — compute, networking, storage, IAM, managed Kubernetes, and cost management.
  • Expert-level infrastructure-as-code skills with Terraform, Pulumi, CloudFormation / CDK, or similar; plus configuration management or GitOps workflows.
  • Experience with containers and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes, Helm) in production, including autoscaling and multi-environment management.
  • Solid programming ability in Python, Go, or Bash for automation and tooling.
  • Strong operational instincts: you think about failure modes, blast radius, and recover-ability before they become incidents.
