You'll combine strong software engineering skills with hands-on expertise across GCP, AWS, Kubernetes, and Terraform. The role offers significant ownership over platform architecture, infrastructure automation, reliability, security, and developer experience. You'll work closely with development teams to understand their needs and turn them into scalable self-service solutions. You'll also contribute to CI/CD systems, internal tools, APIs, and operational improvements. This is an individual contributor role within a collaborative, globally distributed, and fully remote engineering environment. Accountabilities * Design, build, and continuously improve scalable, reliable, and secure cloud infrastructure across GCP and AWS. * Architect and maintain Infrastructure as Code using Terraform, applying software engineering practices such as reusable modules, testing, and predictable deployments. * Deploy, operate, and optimize Kubernetes environments, including GKE and EKS, with responsibility for networking, upgrades, service meshes, availability, performance, and resource utilization. * Develop and maintain internal CI/CD systems and automation using technologies such as Argo CD, Atlantis, or similar tools. * Diagnose and resolve complex platform issues involving performance, scalability, reliability, and security, while contributing to incident response and post-mortem processes. * Drive automation initiatives that reduce manual work, minimize operational risk, and improve system reliability and efficiency. * Partner closely with development teams to understand infrastructure and developer-experience needs and translate them into effective platform capabilities and roadmaps. * Develop internal platform products, services, tools, and APIs that improve self-service and developer productivity. * Implement strong cloud security practices covering access control, vulnerability management, encryption, compliance, audits, and relevant standards such as SOC 2 and GDPR. * Contribute to technical direction through code reviews, knowledge sharing, mentorship, and close collaboration with engineering peers. ## Related Videos - [Platform Engineering vs. DevOps Why not both?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/885-platform-engineering-vs-devops-why-not-both) - [Shifting Stress to Progress— Understanding DevOps to do DevOps Better](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/268-shifting-stress-to-progress-understanding-devops-to-do-devops-better) - [Infrastructure as Code: The Developer's Secret Weapon](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1221-infrastructure-as-code-the-developer-s-secret-weapon) - [Monitoring as Code - Managing your dashboards at scale](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/753-monitoring-as-code-managing-your-dashboards-at-scale) - [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) - [Platform Engineering untold truths: is just an infrastructure matter?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1220-platform-engineering-untold-truths-is-just-an-infrastructure-matter) ## Related Articles - [Where To Find Software Engineering Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/396-where-to-find-software-engineering-jobs) - [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) - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs) - [Where to Find Entry-Level Software Engineering Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/397-where-to-find-entry-level-software-engineering-jobs) - [Finding Jobs in Germany](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/375-finding-jobs-in-germany) - [7 Most Popular Web Developer Jobs in Europe](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/163-7-most-popular-web-developer-jobs-in-europe)
