Platform Engineer - (Site Reliability Engineering)

Working At Bitso

We are a diverse team that takes pride in understanding the perspectives of others. We fully embrace working remotely and we are eager to act, improve and accelerate progress inside and outside of our organization.

To drive revolutionary changes in society and make crypto useful, we delight our customers with world-class products, deep care, and intentional empathy.

Your Purpose 

At Bitso, reliability isn’t an afterthought - it’s a competitive advantage. As a Platform Engineer 2 focused on Incident Management, you’ll own the full incident lifecycle: from active response during live incidents, to driving postmortems, building automation, and eliminating the root causes that create toil in the first place. You’ll be the person who asks “how do we make sure this never happens again?” - and then actually builds it. If you thrive under pressure, love automation, and want to make a measurable dent in how a high-scale crypto platform operates, this role was designed for you.
