Senior Platform Engineer (AWS)

About us

Our platform is built on AWS, Kubernetes (EKS), and managed cloud services, with a strong focus on security, reliability, and observability by default. Product teams own their services end-to-end, and the Platform team enables this through tooling, infrastructure, and guardrails.

This is an infrastructure-focused role with an enablement mindset. You’ll work across multiple teams and services, influencing reliability, security, and platform practices beyond a single domain.

• Improve observability, alerting, and incident response practices
• Build tooling and guardrails that enable teams to deploy and operate services independently
• Improve security, access control, and network foundations across the platform
• Partner with engineering teams to reduce operational risk and improve system reliability

Requirements

• Several years of experience in SRE, Platform Engineering, DevOps or Infrastructure-focused Software Engineering in production environments

• Strong experience operating production systems on AWS, including networking, IAM, and managed services, as well as familiarity with identity providers such as Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD)
• Hands-on Kubernetes experience (EKS or similar)
• Solid understanding of Linux, networking, and cloud-native systems
• Experience with observability tooling and operational best practices
• Strong programming skills in at least one language (e.g., Go, Python, Java, Kotlin, TypeScript)
• A pragmatic mindset focused on enablement, automation, and long-term reliability

What we offer
