Job description
Department: Engineering Reports to: Operations Development Lead Location: Remote FLSA Status: Exempt Overview The Senior Enterprise Platform Engineer partners with engineering, operations, and product teams to turn complex platform requirements into scalable, production-grade cloud and on-premises solutions. This role owns critical infrastructure across CI/CD, Kubernetes, data platforms, and networking, and is central to keeping OneRail's systems reliable, secure, and able to scale as the business grows. We're looking for a hands-on, senior-level engineer who combines deep technical expertise with strong judgment, is comfortable leading through ambiguity, and can mentor other engineers while raising the bar for engineering standards across the team. Responsibilities
- CI/CD & release automation - Own CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions) and self-service release tooling (ArgoCD), automating build, test, security scanning, and deployment so product teams ship safely and independently.
- Infrastructure as Code - Architect and maintain IaC frameworks (Crossplane, Cookiecutter) for repeatable, auditable, policy-compliant provisioning across cloud and on-prem.
- Kubernetes & workloads - Deploy, tune, and operate containerized workloads and self-managed OSS services (Kafka, RabbitMQ, Elasticsearch) on Kubernetes, including scaling, quotas, network policies, and cluster lifecycle.
- Data & databases - Manage cloud data platforms (Snowflake) and relational/NoSQL databases: pipelines, access control, performance tuning, capacity planning, backup/restore, and patching with rollback readiness.
- Reliability & networking - Design HA/DR architectures (multi-region failover, RTO/RPO validation) and optimize cloud networking (VPC, peering, service mesh, DNS) for performance and security.
- Incident response - Lead on-call escalation, root cause analysis, and blameless post-mortems to reduce repeat incidents.
- On-prem infrastructure - Administer Linux servers, Nutanix HCI clusters, and Cisco networking equipment.
- Standards & mentorship - Run code and infrastructure reviews, set engineering standards, mentor engineers, and evaluate emerging cloud-native technology against scalability and cost goals.
Requirements
- B.S. in computer science, software engineering, or a related field.
- 5+ years of senior/expert-level DevOps and cloud architecture experience across Azure, GCP, and on-premises private clouds.
- Expert in CI/CD operations, GitHub Actions pipelines, branching strategy, build optimization, and static/dynamic code analysis integration.
- Expert in Kubernetes architecture and administration, plus Linux configuration, administration, and troubleshooting.
- Expert in GitOps-driven public and private cloud provisioning and secure network design (ingress/egress, service discovery, DNS).
- Expert in building highly available, redundant service architectures and observability (Grafana, Prometheus, Datadog, Loki, Mimir, Tempo, OpenTelemetry).
- Expert in on-prem hardware, including Nutanix clusters, general and GPU compute, and Cisco networking/firewall appliances., * Proficient with self-managed, redundant streaming and messaging platforms (Kafka, KurrentDB, RabbitMQ/ActiveMQ) on bare metal and Kubernetes operators.
- Proficient with relational (MySQL, Postgres, CockroachDB) and NoSQL/columnar (MongoDB, Redis, Elasticsearch, ClickHouse, Cassandra) database platforms.
- Experience mentoring junior engineers.
