Required Education * Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Software Engineering, Information Technology, or a related technical field., * Experience with cloud platforms and services such as AWS for hosting and integrating platform capabilities. * Familiarity with containerized workloads or Kubernetes-based platforms and their operational considerations. * Experience with industrial or OT hardware in an operating environment, including DIN-rail and fanless equipment, PLCs, and long-lifecycle assets where maintenance windows are set by the operating schedule rather than by IT. * Experience with monitoring, observability, and data visualization tools, including advanced use of Splunk or similar technologies. ## Description In this role, you will act as a proficient problem-solver and effective partner to engineering and product teams, owning platform components from design through operations while mentoring colleagues and working with minimal guidance. You will emphasize automation, observability, and lifecycle management platforms to improve reliability, reduce operational toil, and support data-driven decisions that enhance Disney Experiences worldwide. * Collaborate with team members, product, and engineering partners to deliver platform capabilities, support project needs, and resolve complex issues for assigned components or improvements. * Design, implement, and maintain infrastructure automation using tools such as Ansible and Terraform to standardize and streamline platform operations. * Efficiently support platform software and systems throughout their lifecycle, including upgrades, maintenance, troubleshooting, and clear operational documentation. * Build, enhance, and maintain CI/CD pipelines to enable reliable, repeatable deployments across environments. * Monitor and improve system performance, availability, and scalability through proactive analysis, observability practices, and automation, leveraging tools such as Splunk where appropriate. * Evolve the Kubernetes, Harvester, and Splunk platforms. * Specify, install, and maintain the physical layer beneath the platform, including servers, storage, network hardware, and out-of-band management, and own capacity, redundancy, firmware, and lifecycle planning for it. * Size hypervisor and Kubernetes hosts to the workload and design hardware failure domains across racks, power feeds, and switch pairs so that quorum members and storage replicas survive a single physical fault. * Diagnose hardware faults to the component using out-of-band event logs, sensor data, and vendor diagnostics, and manage firmware across the fleet through validated per-platform baselines and staged, quorum-aware rollouts. * Maintain compliance with security, operational, and reliability standards across all supported environments, contributing to best practices and operational runbooks. * Work independently on complex platform initiatives, occasionally leading small efforts and providing guidance to less-experienced engineers as a mentor and subject-matter resource. ## Related Videos - [10M Data Records Lost, Underwater Computing, and Psychedelic Fish - Matthias Geniar](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1908-10m-data-records-lost-underwater-computing-and-psychedelic-fish-matthias-geniar) - [Docker network without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1418-docker-network-without-docker) - [WeAreDevelopers LIVE - Modern DevOps for IoT Devices and More](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1805-wearedevelopers-live-modern-devops-for-iot-devices-and-more) - [Platform Engineering vs. DevOps Why not both?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/885-platform-engineering-vs-devops-why-not-both) - [How to Submit CFPs and Get into Public Speaking - Moran Weber](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2112-how-to-submit-cfps-and-get-into-public-speaking-moran-weber) - [Forget Developer Platforms, Think Developer Productivity!](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1121-forget-developer-platforms-think-developer-productivity) ## Related Articles - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [Where to Find Entry-Level Software Engineering Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/397-where-to-find-entry-level-software-engineering-jobs) - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [DevOps Engineer Salary [2023]](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/203-devops-engineer-salary-2023) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated) - [Top-Paying Tech Jobs (with Salaries)](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/372-top-paying-tech-jobs-with-salaries)
