Senior Platform Engineer

Responsibilities

• Design, build, and maintain platform services, APIs, CLIs, controllers, and automation in languages such as Go, Python, or similar; own them through design, implementation, testing, deployment, and production operation.
• Build self-service capabilities that let engineers provision environments, deploy services, manage infrastructure, and respond to operational conditions safely without relying on manual platform intervention.
• Create and evolve paved paths for service development and delivery, including templates, libraries, deployment workflows, policy-as-code, and reusable platform primitives.
• Design and improve the cloud, compute, storage, identity, and infrastructure primitives used by engineering teams.
• Design and operate core network infrastructure — VPCs, Cloud Routing, and security controls across public clouds and regions.
• Operate and improve the compute, container, networking, and cloud foundations that support critical services and emerging workloads, including distributed and AI-enabled systems where appropriate.
• Improve the systems and workflows used to provision infrastructure, connect services, deliver changes, and recover from failures across environments.
• Define and use service-level indicators, SLOs, error budgets, and production-readiness standards to make reliability and launch decisions explicit and measurable.
• Improve observability, alerting, capacity planning, performance, and failure handling; design systems that degrade gracefully, roll out progressively, and recover automatically where safe.
• Participate in an appropriately staffed on-call rotation, lead incident response when needed, and turn incidents and recurring operational work into permanent improvements through blameless postmortems and follow-through.
