Platform Engineer

• Cloud Platform & Kubernetes Expertise: Strong hands-on experience managing and scaling cloud infrastructure on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and orchestrating containerized workloads utilizing Kubernetes (GKE).
• Platform Automation & Ownership: Proven capability to design, build, and maintain automation for standing up GCP and Kubernetes environments end-to-end, actively reducing manual toil and driving operational efficiency across development teams.
• CI/CD & Delivery Engineering: Hands-on expertise building and hardening secure, automated CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitHub Actions, GitLab CI/CD) to ensure rapid, reliable, and repeatable deployments of containerized services.
• Platform Reliability & Observability: Practical experience building robust monitoring, alerting, and logging into GCP/Kubernetes environments from the ground up, leading structured incident response, and driving continuous improvement in operational maturity.
• Migration & Data Automation: Experience designing and implementing automated tooling to streamline system and data migrations, ensuring legacy workloads are transitioned to modern containerized platforms with minimal risk and manual intervention.
• Integration Engineering: Strong background integrating core systems and platform components-including API gateways, service meshes, event-driven architectures, and messaging queues-to enable highly reliable, decoupled architectures.
• AI-Assisted Engineering: Comfort operating in an AI-assisted engineering environment, leveraging modern tools (e.g., Claude, GitHub Copilot) to accelerate delivery speed while maintaining a strict focus on quality, security, and design standards.
• Collaborative Problem-Solving: Demonstrated ability to break down ambiguous, multi-system problems and solve them systematically in close, cross-functional collaboration with the wider engineering organization.
