Platform Engineer II

Requirements

• 3+ years in platform, infrastructure, DevOps, or SRE roles, running production systems at meaningful scale
• Strong hands-on experience with GCP / Azure / AWS.
• Solid infrastructure-as-code skills — [Terraform / Pulumi / CloudFormation] — including module design and state management.
• Production experience with containers and orchestration ([Docker], [Kubernetes / ECS / Nomad]).
• Comfortable writing real code in at least one language ([Go / Python / TypeScript]) — not just scripts and glue.
• Practical experience building or operating CI/CD systems ([GitHub Actions / GitLab CI / Jenkins / Argo CD]).
• Working knowledge of GitOps-based delivery (Argo CD, Flux, or similar) and comfort introducing it where it doesn't already exist.
• Good working knowledge of Linux, networking fundamentals, and debugging distributed systems.
• Experience with observability tooling (Prometheus / Grafana / Datadog / OpenTelemetry) covering metrics, logs, and traces — including hands-on work with monitoring and alerting, not just consuming dashboards someone else built.
• Working knowledge of policy-as-code and admission control for enforcing security and compliance in the platform.
• A developer-experience mindset: you measure whether your tooling actually made teams faster, and you talk to the people using it.
• Clear written communication — design docs, runbooks, and postmortems that others can follow.
• Nice to have
• Experience with service meshes, API gateways, or multi-cluster networking.
• Database operations experience ([PostgreSQL / MySQL / Redis]) — replication, backups, migrations, tuning.
• Exposure to compliance frameworks ([SOC 2 / ISO 27001 / GDPR]).
• Background in FinOps or systematic cloud cost reduction.
• Experience building internal developer portals ([Backstage] or similar).
• Experience with Crossplane or similar platform-abstraction tooling for self-service provisioning.
• Open-source contributions to infrastructure or platform tooling
