About the role:  

The Platform Engineer is a hands-on individual contributor responsible for designing, building, and shipping capabilities of the internal developer platform and the integrations that connect engineering tools and processes. This role partners with the Engineering Manager and senior peers to turn platform priorities into reliable, well-tested implementations that measurably improve developer productivity and delivery velocity. 

You are a skilled practitioner with a solid command of the technology stacks  within your domain and broad familiarity with tooling across the wider Platform environment.

You own and deliver CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure workstreams end-to end with increasing autonomy, taking responsibility for moderately complex  projects and exercising sound judgment in selecting methods and 

approaches.

You build and improve internal developer tooling in collaboration with other  teams, contribute to self-service platform features, and support your team  onboarding workflows 

Your contribution will be:

• You are sufficiently skilled and experienced in Platform tools and processes to contribute to long-term programs or technologies such as secrets management, PIM, CosmosDB, Azure Key Vault, etc. (or AWS/GCP equivalents)
• You write tools and utilities that support and integrate with delivery pipelines and you integrate telemetry where appropriate
• You debug and fix infrastructure issues on production environments
• You actively build, shape, and promote infrastructure architecture patterns and practices
• You are an advocate for a Platform culture and add value by bringing the Platform perspective to all your projects
• You contribute to the development of new functions in complex areas of Platform such as continuous integration, new infrastructure, or automated incident mitigation
• You identify opportunities to improve the software development and delivery processes and support activities to improve them
• You modify and improve existing development and operational procedures to make them compliant with relevant standards
• You use appropriate Platform patterns to solve development and operational problems
• You start each project with security in mind and make sure that security is built into the design, implementation, and relevant processes and practices

Required Technical Expertise:  

Integration Engineering & Cloud-Native 

• Designing and building integrations across engineering tools (SCM, CI/CD, ticketing, observability, security scanners) via APIs, webhooks, and event-driven patterns. 

• GitOps and Infrastructure as Code (ArgoCD, Terraform); Kubernetes and cloud-native application design; experience operating platforms on Azure and/or AWS. 

AI-Augmented Development 

• Demonstrated, daily use of AI coding assistants (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot or equivalent) and agentic workflows to accelerate delivery - able to show concrete examples. 

• Comfort designing prompts, building small agents/automations, and embedding AI into team workflows. 

To be successful,we think you need:  

• Bachelor’s degree in computer science, Engineering, or related technical field; or equivalent combination of education and experience

  2+ years of professional experience in Platform, infrastructure engineering, or related field

  Hands-on experience with cloud platforms (Azure, AWS, or GCP)

  Experience with infrastructure as code and automation tools

  Understanding of CI/CD pipelines and Platform practices
