As a Platform Engineer, you will own the platforms, tools, and automation that underpin the engineering ecosystem. You'll automate infrastructure, streamline deployments, improve observability, and build reliable release processes. Your work will provide the foundations that empower development teams to deliver software quickly, safely, and consistently.
Key responsibilities
Design, build, and maintain automation for standing up GCP and Kubernetes environments end-to-end, actively reducing manual toil and driving operational efficiency across development teams
Build and harden secure, automated CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitHub Actions, GitLab CI/CD) to ensure rapid, reliable, and repeatable deployments of containerized services
Build robust monitoring, alerting, and logging into GCP/Kubernetes environments from the ground up, leading structured incident response, and driving continuous improvement in operational maturity
Design and implement automated tooling to streamline system and data migrations, ensuring legacy workloads are transitioned to modern containerized platforms with minimal risk and manual intervention
Integrate core systems and platform components—including API gateways, service meshes, event-driven architectures, and messaging queues to enable highly reliable, decoupled architectures
Break down ambiguous, multi-system problems and solve them systematically in close, cross-functional collaboration with the wider engineering organization
