Enterprise customers connect their data warehouses — BigQuery, Snowflake, Databricks, Trino, Postgres — and Walt's agentic engine answers business questions, builds semantic models over their schemas, and generates analyses and presentations on top of live data. Because our customers' data is highly sensitive, we run a split deployment model: a multi-tenant SaaS on our own Kubernetes clusters, plus dedicated deployments inside customers' own cloud accounts (Azure and GCP today), orchestrated from our central GitOps control plane. You will be the owner of that machinery.\n\nResponsibilities: \nOwn the deployment engine: Our fleet runs on GKE across dev, staging/demo, and prod clusters, deployed via Helm charts and ArgoCD with per-customer namespaces and environments. You'll harden, simplify, and scale this GitOps pipeline.\nBuild the customer-cloud (BYOC) path: Productize how Walt ships into a customer's own cloud — today hand-crafted Helm charts, cloud-native secret stores (Azure Key Vault CSI, GCP Secret Manager), and customer-side CI. Turn it into a repeatable, self-serve delivery engine.\nMaster cross-account security: Manage per-customer encryption keys for connector credentials, GCP service accounts and Azure service principals across org boundaries, workload identity, and network isolation between customer environments.\nHarden network data paths: Implement and maintain private, secure networking paths using GCP Private Service Connect (PSC) and Azure Private Link to connect securely to customer warehouses without traversing the public internet.\nRun the production stack: Postgres, Redis, Celery workers, and sandboxed compute (Daytona) under real workloads — capacity planning, autoscaling, OOM and incident response, database migration safety, preview environments for every PR.\nEnable enterprise sales & trust: Produce the security architecture docs and isolation blueprints that get Walt through CISO and procurement reviews. Act as the technical authority on architecture calls with early enterprise IT teams to unblock deployments.\n\nRequirements: \nKubernetes depth: GKE (or EKS/AKS) in production — autoscaling, node-pool and resource management, StatefulSets, ingress/TLS, multi-cluster operations.\nGitOps and CI/CD fluency: ArgoCD (or Flux) and GitHub Actions as the backbone of deployment; Helm chart authoring beyond the basics.\nCross-cloud IAM expertise: GCP service accounts and Azure service principals/Key Vault across organisation boundaries; secrets lifecycle and key rotation.\nIaC and Automation skills: Terraform/OpenTofu for programmatically standing up customer environments. Familiarity with the Kubernetes Operator pattern or CRDs to automate self-serve infrastructure delivery is a massive plus.\nInfrastructure Coding / Scripting: Strong coding capability in Python or Go to build custom orchestration tooling, optimise Celery worker queues, and safely debug backend application issues.\nData-platform sympathy: Comfort operating systems that connect to BigQuery, Snowflake, Databricks, and friends — credentials handling, network paths, query workloads.\nStartup mindset: You ship stable infrastructure over theoretical perfection and are comfortable as the sole infra owner working directly with founders.\n\nBonus Points: \nBuilt a BYOC or managed single-tenant delivery model before.\nCloud marketplace listings (GCP/Azure/AWS).\nExperience with AI/LLM workloads: sandboxed code execution, token/cost controls, eval pipelines.\nPostgres operations at depth (migrations, backup/restore, encryption at rest).\nSkills\nArgo CD, Helm, Platform Engineer","description_format":"text","description_chars":3628,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":4,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["AI Agents"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-12T22:35:00Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":0,"expected_fill_days":27,"reasons":["seen:0","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-11-12T23:42:33Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/walt-ai-senior-platform-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/walt-ai-senior-platform-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-12T23:42:33Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":50077,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-13T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":3806760},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=3806760"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fwalt-ai-senior-platform-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"free","price":{"credits":0,"usd":0},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fwalt-ai-senior-platform-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fwalt-ai-senior-platform-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/walt-ai-senior-platform-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fwalt-ai-senior-platform-engineer"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":4202737}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"thewalt.ai","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":4202737},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
