We expect all of our team members to be: Inquisitive, in that they have an innate desire to learn and teach. Inventive, in that nothing (ego, fear, etc.) gets in the way of innovation. Open, in that they willingly share their learnings and experience with all. Caring, in that they prioritize self-care, empathy, and an understanding of others. Trustworthy, as that underpins all of the above. ## Description Platform Engineers at KUNGFU.AI work alongside Machine Learning Engineers and Data Scientists on client project teams to design architecture, build infrastructure, and establish frameworks that enable rapid, production-grade iteration. This is an embedded, collaborative role grounded in seamless teamwork - not a siloed advisory function. As a Platform Engineer, you shape how KUNGFU.AI approaches infrastructure as a discipline. You design cross-project platform standards, reference architectures, and reusable patterns that accelerate every engagement. You lead select client projects - building trusted relationships with clients and owning infrastructure strategy with minimal Director of Engineering support. You also begin working cross-functionally with business development, strategy, and marketing teams, contributing to SOW development and advising on feasibility as roadmaps take shape. Your influence extends beyond your own projects to the broader engineering organization. Here's what you'll be doing: * Design and maintain reference architectures, templates, starter kits, and golden paths that standardize infrastructure patterns across client engagements * Lead select client projects, including building trusted client relationships and owning infrastructure delivery with light DoE support * Drive code quality and infrastructure standards across project teams - through code review, pairing, and establishing conventions * Evaluate and rapidly adopt emerging cloud services, infrastructure tooling, and deployment patterns, recommending adoption where they benefit the team * Contribute to SOW development by scoping infrastructure effort, identifying risks, and defining technical approach for proposals * Work with strategy teams to advise on feasibility and help scope engineering efforts on roadmaps as they are being developed * Coordinate cross-functionally with BD, marketing, and strategy teams on infrastructure-related topics * Navigate ambiguity in client environments - where requirements are unclear, constraints are evolving, and the "right" architecture isn't obvious * Drive long-term strategic thinking about infrastructure patterns, tooling choices, and platform maturity for the engineering organization * Mentor junior and senior engineers on both technical and non-technical dimensions ## Related Videos - [Shipping Faster with Less: Render on Cloud Hosting, AI Workloads, and the Future of DevOps](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1894-shipping-faster-with-less-render-on-cloud-hosting-ai-workloads-and-the-future-of-devops) - [Infrastructure as Code: The Developer's Secret Weapon](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1221-infrastructure-as-code-the-developer-s-secret-weapon) - [Building Reliable Serverless Applications with AWS CDK and Testing](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/812-building-reliable-serverless-applications-with-aws-cdk-and-testing) - [Docker Compose: Rediscovered](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1978-docker-compose-rediscovered) - [The power of Cloud Development Kit (CDK): How to get the most out of it](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/740-the-power-of-cloud-development-kit-cdk-how-to-get-the-most-out-of-it) - [AI-Augmented DevOps with Platform Engineering](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1614-ai-augmented-devops-with-platform-engineering) ## Related Articles - [Navigating the AI Shift](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/629-navigating-the-ai-shift) - [How to Become an AI Engineer](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/331-how-to-become-an-ai-engineer) - [What is Software Engineering in the Age of AI?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/640-what-is-software-engineering-in-the-age-of-ai) - [Dev Digest 121 - AI goes offline](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/456-dev-digest-121-ai-goes-offline) - [Stephan Gillich - Bringing AI Everywhere](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/489-stephan-gillich-bringing-ai-everywhere) - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers)
