Senior Platform Engineer.
You've operated Kubernetes in production, written Terraform you're not embarrassed by, and held a pager. You're looking for a small team that ships and senior peers who've done the work.
About the role
You'll join a senior engineering team working across regulated platform, security, and product infrastructure. The work mixes client engineering, internal platform improvement, and writing that helps future operators understand the system.
This is not a meeting-heavy role. You'll spend most of your time in your editor, in PRs, and in short syncs with embedded client teams.
What you'll do
- Design and operate Kubernetes platforms for clients: node pools, autoscaling, networking, identity, and the foundation teams depend on.
- Write Terraform and platform modules other engineers can maintain long after the engagement ends.
- Improve reusable engineering assets, review PRs, and write clear changelogs and runbooks.
- Pair with client engineers on incidents, capacity planning, migrations, and production readiness.
Who you are
- Production experience with Kubernetes in EKS, GKE, AKS, on-prem, or a similar environment.
- Comfortable with Terraform and at least one adjacent infrastructure tool such as OpenTofu, Pulumi, or CDK.
- Able to read and contribute to Go or Python infrastructure tooling.
- You have owned production systems and can explain what changed after a postmortem.
Bonus, not required
- CNCF ecosystem contributions.
- Experience with regulated workloads.
- Public writing or talks about systems you operated.
Interview process
- Application, resume, GitHub, and a short paragraph.
- Engineering chat, 60 minutes with a senior engineer. No whiteboard.
- Take-home, paid, scoped work on a real engineering problem.
- Team day, focused conversations around design, security, and collaboration.
- Offer, written clearly and discussed directly.
