Platform Engineer

We’re looking for a strong software engineer to join Platform Engineering and help us build and maintain a code-first Internal Developer Platform. Our platform supports infrastructure used by hundreds of millions of people worldwide and delivers petabytes of content daily-so the systems you build will have real, visible impact at global scale. This is a role for someone who wants to build products for engineers: APIs, tools, automation, libraries, and workflows that make the “right way” the easiest way.

As a Platform Engineer, you will:

• Build developer platforms as products: design, implement, and maintain internal services, tools, and workflows that enable engineering teams to deliver software safely and consistently.
• Take a code-first approach to infrastructure: develop and evolve infrastructure automation and deployment systems (think: CI/CD building blocks, deployment orchestration, environment provisioning, platform APIs/CLIs).
• Build and operate cloud and Kubernetes platform capabilities with an emphasis on automation, repeatability, and guardrails
• Measure and improve reliability through instrumentation, observability, and platform-level standards.
• Partner with engineering teams to understand friction points, then turn those needs into reusable platform capabilities.
• Participate in planning, code reviews, architectural discussions, and mentorship in a collaborative, high-autonomy team.
• Join an occasional after-hours support rotation (approximately once every 7 weeks).

• Proven software engineering experience and proficiency in one or more of: Python, Go, Java, Rust, and/or .NET(including debugging and optimizing production code).
• Experience implementing and supporting large, internet-facing distributed systems, ideally in Kubernetes environments
• Experience operating and debugging cloud-based stacks (AWS preferred; other major clouds also relevant).
• Strong fundamentals in infrastructure-as-code and automated configuration/automation (e.g., Terraform/CloudFormation and related tooling).
• A track record of building maintainable, stable, scalable systems and treating internal tooling like real software products.
• Excellent communication skills and a collaborative mindset-able to drive technical discussions across teams.

Bonus points:

• Experience building “platform primitives” (self-service workflows, templates, golden paths, internal portals/CLIs, policy/guardrails).
• Familiarity with networking concepts (routing, firewalls, VPNs).
• Experience with SQL/NoSQL/big data systems.
• Open-source contributions or maintaining your own projects.
• B.S. in a computer-related field.
