This role is ideal for an engineer who enjoys building secure, scalable platforms that abstract complexity away from product teams, while still being close to the underlying systems. You'll design and operate shared AI-native platforms that power application delivery, cloud-native services, CI/CD pipelines, and operational tooling. You'll collaborate closely with SRE, security, and product engineering teams to ensure the platform is reliable, self-service, and built for scale. This is not a traditional ops role, and it's not purely application development. The focus is on productizing infrastructure and backend capabilities as platforms., Platform & Cloud Engineering * Design, build, and operate cloud-native platforms on AWS (or equivalent), emphasizing scalability, availability, security, and cost efficiency * Embed AI-assisted and agentic workflows into CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure provisioning, incident response, and operational tooling * Develop and maintain cloud infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code (Terraform preferred) * Build and support shared cloud services such as networking, IAM patterns, managed data services, observability tooling, and service templates * Partner with SRE and security teams to embed reliability, compliance, and guardrails into platform workflows Backend & Systems Development * Design and build backend services, APIs, and internal platforms that enable other teams to move faster * Develop automation and tooling using modern backend languages (e.g., Go, Python, Kotlin, Node, or similar) * Contribute to service architecture decisions, including service-to-service communication patterns, data access strategies, and resiliency models * Review code and architectural designs with a focus on performance, operability, and long-term maintainability Developer Enablement * Create self-service interfaces, documentation, and workflows that reduce friction for application teams * Enable product teams to consume AI-powered platform capabilities through secure, self-service interfaces * Improve CI/CD pipelines, release automation, and deployment strategies * Advocate for platform-as-a-product thinking: usability, adoption, and developer experience matter * Partner with product managers and engineers to understand developer pain points and translate them into platform capabilities Technical Leadership * Act as a senior technical contributor and mentor to other engineers * Influence standards and best practices across infrastructure, backend, and platform design * Participate in architecture reviews and contribute to longer-term platform roadmap discussions * Lead by example in operational excellence, incident response, and post-incident learning
