  • Work closely with development teams to understand product requirements and design platform solutions
  • Build Infrastructure as Code using Terraform and configuration management tooling
  • Improve deployment processes, automation and developer productivity
  • Enhance system reliability, observability and platform security
  • Champion SRE and Platform Engineering best practices

Skills & Experience

  • Proven background in Platform Engineering, SRE, DevOps or Software Development
  • Strong Kubernetes knowledge and operational experience
  • Terraform and Infrastructure as Code expertise
  • Linux and automation tooling experience
  • Development or scripting experience (Python, Go, Bash or similar)
  • Experience with cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure or GCP
  • Strong understanding of CI/CD pipelines and GitOps methodologies

Ideal Candidate

You’ll likely come from a software engineering, SRE or platform engineering background and enjoy designing scalable solutions, automating processes, and building platforms that help developers move faster.
