Senior Platform Engineer
First seen by Alion on Oct 9, 2026.
We are looking for a strong, hands-on Platform Engineer to join our growing engineering team.
In this role, you will bridge software engineering with modern platform infrastructure — designing and building self-service tools, internal platform services, shared libraries, and integrations that enable our engineering and trading teams to move fast with high control and quality.
Responsibilities:
— Design, build, and maintain platform services, developer tooling, and self-service capabilities that empower internal engineering and trading teams.
— Translate business and architectural concepts into concrete technical requirements, design the system architecture, and lead the hands-on development of the new trading platform features from inception to production.
— Build robust backend services, internal CLI/developer tools, and shared platform utilities primarily using Go.
— Integrate Backstage capabilities, build custom plugins, and create automated workflows using TypeScript/Node.js to streamline internal processes.
— Build reusable CI/CD pipelines, shared libraries, and SDKs while seamlessly integrating platform services with Kubernetes and existing core infrastructure.
— Act as the technical owner for your platform domain — meeting with internal stakeholders (traders, engineers, business API teams) to gather requirements, clarify trade-offs, and align technical direction.
Requirements:
— Proven production experience in backend development, APIs, containers, and modern software engineering practices.
— Hands-on experience with Go as your main programming language (or a strong willingness and capability to write high-quality Go code daily).
— Good understanding of Kubernetes, modern platform design, CI/CD pipelines, and cloud-native ecosystems.
— Demonstrated ability to take an ambiguous problem or high-level idea, gather requirements from stakeholders, design the system architecture, and deliver a production-ready solution independently.
— Deep understanding of code quality, architecture trade-offs, design patterns, and debugging complex distributed systems.
— English — Intermediate + ;
— Ukrainian — Native/Fluent.
Nice to have:
— Experience TypeScript / Node.js.
— Hands-on experience with Backstage, developer self-service platforms, or Internal Developer Platforms (IDP).
— Background in GitOps (ArgoCD), OpenTelemetry / observability stack, runtime/workload management, or building SDKs/shared libraries.
— Exposure to Docs-as-Code / TechDocs.
— Secondary experience with C#, Python, or C++.
— Previous experience in FinTech, prop trading, or market-making domains.
Company offers:
Care from Day One — medical insurance starting from your first day, including dental care, massage services, and professional psychological support.
Work-Life Balance — 25 days of paid vacation + 30 days of paid sick leave
Investment in Your Energy — Partial reimbursement for sports and fitness activities.
Growth & Learning — Coverage for English or Ukrainian language courses and dedicated professional development budget
Island Relaxation — Up to 14 days per year at the company villa in Cyprus.
