Lead Platform Engineer

Role overview Own and operate cloud infrastructure and internal developer tools that help software teams build, deploy, and support services with less friction. This senior platform engineering role involves driving ambiguous infrastructure work from design into production, improving reliability, and helping developers work effectively at scale.

Responsibilities - Design, build, and operate major components of an internal platform-as-a-service. - Lead complex infrastructure initiatives with limited oversight, partnering with platform and application engineers. - Develop tools and practices that improve developer workflows, deployment reliability, and daily productivity. - Apply and improve infrastructure-as-code, container, and CI/CD practices. - Explore AI-assisted engineering and language-model solutions for internal support and operational workflows. - Improve operations and provide technical guidance to less experienced engineers.

Requirements - Five or more years of software development and infrastructure experience with substantial contributions. - Bachelor’s degree in engineering or computer science. - Production experience with AWS and Kubernetes orchestration. - Ability to independently scope and execute complex technical work. - Experience operating systems at scale and understanding their failure modes. - Strong interest in improving the developer experience and empathy for software developers.

Nice to have Exposure to infrastructure tools and languages such as Terraform or Pulumi, CircleCI, Ruby, Go, or Python is useful; experience with every tool is not expected.

Benefits and work setup The role includes salary, benefits, and equity, with U.S. salary listed at $113,300–$189,000 depending on location and qualifications. Benefits include medical, dental, and vision coverage.
