 * Experience with Ruby and Go.

## Description

As a Platform Engineer on Infrastructure, you'll share responsibility for everything Platform owns: our cloud infrastructure, the reliability of the systems behind Rootly, observability, CI/CD and release tooling, datastores, cost efficiency, and security hardening alongside our Security team.
You'll contribute to projects across those areas, join existing projects as a second engineer to speed them up and spread knowledge, take your turn on call, and help keep the platform healthy day to day. You'll work with our platform engineering leader and build depth across the platform as the team grows., * Make changes to Rootly's AWS infrastructure as code, and keep it reviewable and safe to change.

 * Build credential rotation for databases, Redis, and application secrets, in partnership with Security.
 * Tune alerting so it pages on customer impact, not noise, and help keep observability spend in check.
 * Take part in multi-region failover drills and help close the gaps they find.
 * Pick up platform work wherever it's needed: CI fixes, datastore runbooks, small tools that remove toil.
 * Write runbooks and docs so the next engineer can handle the same problem without you.
 * Take part in on-call and retrospectives, and turn what you learn into lasting fixes., * Become a second engineer on projects that today depend on one person, so they move faster and no longer stall when someone is out.
 * Shipped credential rotation for databases, Redis, and application secrets with our Security team.
 * Reduced alert noise so pages map to real customer impact.
 * Left behind runbooks and docs that other engineers use., * Backend: Ruby on Rails, PostgreSQL, OpenSearch, Redis, Sidekiq, AWS Lambda, ECS, Kafka, DynamoDB.
 * Frontend: Turbo, Stimulus, ViewComponents.
 * Infrastructure: AWS, Terraform (IaC), Datadog.
