Agent guide: [/agents.md](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/agents.md). --- # Platform Engineer - **Company:** Alan Sa. - **Location:** Spain (Remote available) - **Contract:** Permanent contract - **Skills:** Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), Artificial Intelligence, Amazon Web Services, Command-Line Interface, Cloud Computing, Github, Human-Computer Interaction, Identity and Access Management, Python (Programming Language), PostgreSQL, Redis, TypeScript, Datadog, Multi-Cloud, Database Migration, Kubernetes, Cloudflare, Data Management, Software Coding, Terraform - **Published:** July 21, 2026 - **Apply:** https://www.jobleads.com/es/job/e1fbd4ae8bd98ae09af383bd891a91ef3 ## About the Role * 3+ years in Platform engineering, DevOps, Site reliability engineering or equivalent roles. * You have strong experience with cloud platforms (especially AWS or GCP). * You\'re comfortable writing code for automation and tooling (e.g. API, internal command line, developer portal) and willing to work in Python/Typescript (but you don't need to have experience with those 2 languages!). * You have touched observability, monitoring, alerting or incident management tools and practices. * You are able to design and implement robust infrastructure systems with a focus on reliability and observability. * You can maintain our uptime targets while optimizing infrastructure costs. * You've built and maintained internal or external tooling (e.g. API, web interface, internal command line, configuration as code, etc) for other engineers. Mindset we value * You treat infrastructure and platform engineering as product work: engineers & members are your customers, and infrastructure should feel effortless. * You're hands-on: writing code is the bulk of the job (Python, TypeScript, Terraform). You ship what you write to production yourself, then operate it: rollouts, alerting, on-call, incident response. * You're an enabler: you measure your impact by how fast product crews ship features without ever consulting you. The harder you've worked, the less they have to engage you. * You build reusable patterns: guardrails, libraries, and reliable-by-default abstractions that prevent outages and runaway cost at scale. * You're fluent in English (French is not required). ## Description Python/Flask, Typescript, React, React Native on the coding side. AWS, GCP, Kubernetes, PostgreSQL, Redis, Terraform/Terramate, Datadog, Cloudflare, GitHub Actions on the platform side, all in a monorepo. We deploy daily and believe in distributed ownership - you build it, you own it., * Tech Foundations - enables product crews and creates the environment to thrive, combining world-class infrastructure, intuitive developer experience, exquisite operational excellence, and built-in security to make shipping exceptional products effortless. * Infra - is one of its crews. Its mission: operate and evolve the foundations Alan runs on (multi-cloud infrastructure, data platforms, observability, and the operational practices around them) so that product crews ship safely and quickly, members never feel the platform underneath, and the business can expand to new countries without re-inventing how we run. Scope: 1. Cloud foundations & multi-cloud architecture: own and evolve Alan's cloud footprint, Infrastructure-as-Code stack (Terraform, Terramate), and the architectural decisions enabling international expansion. 2. Data & application platforms: operate and evolve the foundations product crews build on: PostgreSQL/Aurora, our events pipeline, async workloads, and database migration tooling, without leaking complexity into product code. 3. Reliability, observability & on-call: own Alan's platform uptime and latency SLOs end-to-end. Evolve our observability stack (Datadog), the incident response process, and the shared on-call rotation across the area to keep it sustainable as we scale. 4. Governance & compliance enablement and FinOps: own the cross-cutting concerns no single domain holds, infrastructure cost (FinOps), IAM posture, backup and disaster recovery, exit strategy, with automation and reporting that scales beyond the crew. 5. AI-augmented infrastructure operations: make AI assistants a first-class citizen for incident investigation, runbook execution, and toil reduction, so engineers spend their time on high-leverage work. Focus for 2026: In 2026, we're growing the team significantly to step up impact across four bets: * Multi-cloud expansion: revisit our cloud strategy as we go international, and launch new geographies. * Decoupling for scale: evolve service architecture to carry Alan 2.0 from 1M members today to 10M. * Operational excellence: raise the quality bar end-to-end by overhauling observability, on-call, and cost management practices. * AI-augmented infra ops: make AI assistants a first-class part of investigation, troubleshooting, and toil reduction, so engineers spend time where leverage is highest., * Perks & Benefits: Alaners are provided with a stimulating environment and perks ensuring they are happy, efficient and spend only high-quality time with co-workers. * A strong culture: People joining Alan are often surprised and delighted by our innovative working method. We have a set of cultural values that guide our approach to work ## Related Videos - [Platform Engineering vs. DevOps Why not both?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/885-platform-engineering-vs-devops-why-not-both) - [The OpenTelemetry mistakes I keep seeing (and how to stop making them)](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100158-the-opentelemetry-mistakes-i-keep-seeing-and-how-to-stop-making-them) - [Innovating Developer Tools with AI: Insights from GitHub Next](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1268-innovating-developer-tools-with-ai-insights-from-github-next) - [Reducing LLM Calls with Vector Search Patterns - Raphael De Lio (Redis)](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1714-reducing-llm-calls-with-vector-search-patterns-raphael-de-lio-redis) - [Accelerating Authentication Architecture: Taking Passwordless to the Next Level](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/733-accelerating-authentication-architecture-taking-passwordless-to-the-next-level) - [From Pipelines to Platforms: How DevOps Automation Becomes a Force Multiplier at Scale](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1946-from-pipelines-to-platforms-how-devops-automation-becomes-a-force-multiplier-at-scale) ## Related Articles - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs) - [Where To Find Software Engineering Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/396-where-to-find-software-engineering-jobs) - [Why Upskilling And Reskilling is Important For Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/428-why-upskilling-and-reskilling-is-important-for-developers) - [Find a Developer Job: 12 Best Job Sites For Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/165-find-a-developer-job-12-best-job-sites-for-developers) - [The 12 Best Jobs for Software Engineers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/401-the-12-best-jobs-for-software-engineers) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated)
