Staff Platform Engineer

Role overview

Lead major platform and developer productivity work as a hands-on technical contributor. You’ll help shape architecture across engineering, improve continuous delivery and production operations, and build infrastructure that supports both engineers and increasingly automated development workflows.

Responsibilities

- Own platform initiatives from design and technical review through implementation and production, beginning with improvements to continuous delivery. - Improve CI reliability, merge and deployment workflows, testing infrastructure, and local development environments. - Make and validate architectural decisions for cloud infrastructure, developer tooling, observability, and operational systems. - Build automation and self-service capabilities that improve the development experience and support AI-assisted engineering workflows. - Share responsibility for production reliability, on-call coverage, and incident response during Americas hours. - Lead engineering-wide initiatives such as infrastructure standards, architecture practices, documentation, or reliability improvements.

Requirements

- Staff-level experience leading ambiguous, cross-team engineering initiatives as a hands-on individual contributor. - Experience designing and operating production cloud systems, including AWS or equivalent services, containers, and infrastructure as code such as Terraform. - A track record of improving CI/CD, testing, or deployment systems with measurable gains in delivery speed or reliability. - Strong technical judgment in scalability, security, observability, and operational reliability; experience with Datadog or similar tools. - Ability to influence peers and engineering leaders, guide architectural decisions, and communicate technical tradeoffs clearly. - Practical developer-platform mindset, with experience building self-service tools and diagnosing production issues.

Benefits and work setup

- Fully remote work and competitive salary. - Join an active continuous-delivery initiative with established observability and deployment foundations. - Collaborate with a distributed platform team across the Americas and Europe.
