• Reduce operational toil by driving simplicity in infrastructure automation and deployment processes
• Respond to outages and work with engineering teams to restore service and minimize customer impact
• Lead incident response and review processes, including primary cause analysis and postmortems to drive continuous improvement
• Write, test, and ship code (leveraging AI tools) to build, maintain, and expand our internal developer platform and supporting tools
• Perform thorough code reviews of peers' work, including AI-generated code, ensuring correctness, security, and maintainability standards
• Collaborate with the Platform Engineering Manager and Tech Lead to deliver well-scoped work each sprint, refining requirements and flagging dependencies early
• Contribute to platform health by identifying operational improvements and sharing feedback that strengthens our engineering processes

Qualifications

• Proficiency in TypeScript, Golang, Python, or another object-oriented language with professional development experience
• Strong understanding of containerization and Kubernetes—experience building, deploying, and running containerized workloads at scale
• 2-4+ years of platform engineering or site reliability engineering experience
• Familiarity with context engineering and agentic tools for AI-assisted development
• Experience with Model Context Protocol (MCP) or other LLM-powered developer tooling
• Direct experience building or contributing to an internal developer platform (IDP)
• Exposure to incident management and postmortem processes in production environments
• Skilled in Infrastructure as Code with Terraform and experience interacting with cloud-vendor APIs for provisioning, configuration, and auditing
• Solid understanding of Git source control and DevOps principles as applied to agile processes and continuous release cadence
• Strong experience with the three pillars of observability (metrics, logs, and traces)
• Strong experience with CI/CD tooling and automation of build, test, and deployment workflows (GitLab experience is preferred)
• Proficient use of AI coding assistants (Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, or equivalent), including the ability to verify AI-generated code, infrastructure configurations, and scripts for hallucinated resources, misconfigurations, and security issues before deploying to production
• Excellent problem-solving abilities and attention to detail in identifying and resolving infrastructure challenges
