(Senior/Staff) Platform Engineer
Job details
About this role
Role overview
Own and improve the cloud platform that underpins a digital identity product, where reliability, security and auditability are part of the customer experience. You’ll make it easier for engineers to build and release safely, respond to incidents, and automate recurring infrastructure work. The role also includes creating safe environments and guardrails for engineering teams using AI agents.
Responsibilities
- Develop and operate cloud infrastructure, including Kubernetes, networking, infrastructure as code, CI/CD and observability. - Improve developer workflows across local development, preview environments and deployment. - Lead incident response, investigate root causes and implement durable fixes. - Replace recurring manual tasks with useful automation and self-service tools. - Establish sandboxing and safeguards for AI agent use in engineering.
Requirements
- Substantial experience in platform, DevOps, site reliability, infrastructure or cloud engineering. - Hands-on production experience with Kubernetes, networking and infrastructure as code. - Experience owning problems through to resolution, ideally in a startup or scale-up environment. - Clear technical judgment, communication skills and willingness to challenge questionable decisions. - Adaptability across cloud providers and tools; depth and learning ability matter more than experience with a specific stack.
Nice to have
- Experience improving developer experience, or an interest in security and observability. - Background in regulated sectors such as financial technology, payments or identity. - Familiarity with AWS, Terraform, PostgreSQL, RabbitMQ, Node.js, TypeScript or event-sourced systems; experience with every listed technology is not expected.
Benefits and work setup
- Remote-first environment.
