And you communicate clearly in English. Nice to have * Experience in or near a compliance-driven environment (FedRAMP or FIPS is a real plus). * Building self-service internal developer platforms with modern tooling. * Working with cell-based or multi-region architectures at scale. ## Description * Design, deploy, and run AWS infrastructure from end to end: from the edge and networking through to the multi-account cell architecture and the EKS platform. * Move between operational work, automation, requests from other engineering teams, and greenfield design, depending on what the platform needs that week. * Automate as much as sensibly possible: the infrastructure-as-code and GitOps that provision, upgrade, and keep the whole estate consistent and free of drift. * Work closely with the product and feature teams, turning what they need into self-service capabilities and helping them stay autonomous. * Keep the platform reliable, secure, and cost-effective: upgrades, autoscaling, observability, and security hardening and compliance (FedRAMP, FIPS). You will share the on-call rotation with the rest of the team. * Help the architecture grow: design new capabilities and take the platform to the next level of scale, resilience, and new kinds of workload., This matters to us more than any single item on the list below. We are looking for someone who: * Works well on their own. You can join a call, understand what a team really needs, and come back with a sensible plan. You think about the problem rather than wait to be told what to do. * Communicates clearly and enjoys working with people. Requests come from a lot of directions, and you are comfortable with that. If you have done this in a smaller company or a lean team, that experience counts for a great deal here. * Is pragmatic and cares about quality. You know when something needs doing now and when it needs doing properly, and you can juggle a few things at once without dropping any of them. ## Related Videos - [Platform Engineering vs. DevOps Why not both?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/885-platform-engineering-vs-devops-why-not-both) - [From DevOps to Scaled DevOps: How We’re Rebuilding Continuous Delivery as a Platform](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100018-from-devops-to-scaled-devops-how-we-re-rebuilding-continuous-delivery-as-a-platform) - [Infrastructure as Code: The Developer's Secret Weapon](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1221-infrastructure-as-code-the-developer-s-secret-weapon) - [Understanding Kubernetes in a visual way](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100085-understanding-kubernetes-in-a-visual-way) - [Building a Cloud Platform Where Everything is Just Another Kubernetes Resource](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100137-building-a-cloud-platform-where-everything-is-just-another-kubernetes-resource) - [7 Ways to Fail at Building a Platform](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100015-7-ways-to-fail-at-building-a-platform) ## Related Articles - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs) - [Why Upskilling And Reskilling is Important For Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/428-why-upskilling-and-reskilling-is-important-for-developers) - [The 12 Best Jobs for Software Engineers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/401-the-12-best-jobs-for-software-engineers) - [7 Most Popular Web Developer Jobs in Europe](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/163-7-most-popular-web-developer-jobs-in-europe) - [Where To Find Software Engineering Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/396-where-to-find-software-engineering-jobs) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated)
