Platform Engineering Lead

Helius

Remote · North AmericaSalary not disclosedfull-timeHelius Careers

This is the lead role for Platform at Helius. Reporting to the Co-founder/Head of Engineering, you'll build and lead the team that owns the foundation under everything we ship: our bare metal fleet, how software gets built and deployed, observability, reliability, and engineering security.

Responsibilities

  • Set the Platform roadmap and own outcomes across bare metal, builds and deployments, observability, SRE, security, and node operations
  • Build our SRE practice: SLOs, alerting standards, incident command, on-call health, postmortems, and incident automation
  • Lead our observability overhaul: migrate off Datadog onto ClickHouse and Grafana, and raise the bar on visibility across every service
  • Standardize how we build and deploy software to machines, so shipping is fast, safe, and consistent across teams
  • Partner with our security lead to plan and execute the engineering security roadmap
  • Drive fleet strategy, including capacity planning, provider relationships, and cost analysis
  • Hire, mentor, and grow Platform engineers, and set the team's operating norms in a remote, async-heavy environment
  • Work closely with product engineering teams (Data Streaming, Historical APIs, Gatekeeper, and others) so Platform accelerates them rather than gating them
