Staff/Lead Platform/DevOps Engineer

Join a high-impact engineering team responsible for building and evolving the platform that powers modern AI-driven enterprise solutions. In this role, you will design scalable cloud infrastructure, strengthen platform reliability, and enable engineering teams to deliver products faster and more efficiently. Working in a collaborative, remote-first environment, you'll tackle complex infrastructure challenges across Kubernetes, cloud platforms, and Infrastructure as Code. You'll play a key role in shaping multi-region architectures, improving observability, and driving automation initiatives that support rapid growth. This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced platform engineer who thrives in fast-paced environments, enjoys solving technical challenges at scale, and wants to influence the future of cloud infrastructure. Accountabilities: As a Staff/Lead Platform/DevOps Engineer, you will strengthen the engineering platform while enabling development teams to build, deploy, and operate reliable applications. Key responsibilities include:

• Support engineering teams by maintaining resilient Kubernetes environments and providing guidance on platform best practices.
• Design, develop, and maintain Infrastructure as Code using Terraform while contributing to the migration toward Crossplane.
• Build and enhance internal platform services and automation tools, including Python-based solutions.
• Manage cloud infrastructure across multiple regions, including Kubernetes clusters, IAM, networking, and identity management.
• Troubleshoot production issues, investigate infrastructure incidents, and drive root cause analysis to improve platform reliability.
• Lead initiatives related to multi-region deployments, single-tenant environments, and Bring Your Own Cloud (BYOC) architectures.
• Improve observability by implementing dashboards, monitoring, logging, tracing, and alerting solutions.
• Contribute to FinOps initiatives by optimizing cloud resource usage and improving cost visibility across environments.
• Collaborate closely with software engineers to streamline development workflows, improve platform capabilities, and accelerate software delivery.

The ideal candidate combines deep platform engineering expertise with strong collaboration skills and a passion for building scalable cloud infrastructure. You should have:

• Strong hands-on experience managing Kubernetes environments (GKE preferred, with EKS or other managed Kubernetes platforms also considered).

• Proven expertise with Infrastructure as Code, particularly Terraform, with knowledge of GitOps practices and tools such as ArgoCD.

• Experience managing IAM and cloud infrastructure on GCP or AWS.

• Strong understanding of cloud-native architecture, container orchestration, networking, and production infrastructure.

• Experience implementing monitoring and observability solutions using tools such as Grafana, Honeycomb, Datadog, New Relic, or similar platforms.

• Programming experience, particularly with Python, to build automation and internal platform tooling.

• Experience participating in or leading incident response and troubleshooting complex production systems.

• Excellent communication skills with the ability to collaborate effectively across engineering teams and explain complex infrastructure concepts.

• Experience working in startup or scale-up environments with a proactive, adaptable, and ownership-driven mindset. Nice to have:

• Experience with Crossplane, GPU workloads, or machine learning infrastructure.

• Knowledge of Temporal, MongoDB, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, or similar technologies.

• Experience with Grafana Alloy, Loki, or related observability tooling.

• Familiarity with Kubernetes security, compliance initiatives, or cloud security best practices.
