Senior Platform Engineer

Job Description

About the Role

We’re looking for a Senior Platform Engineer to help us develop and operate our Kubernetes-based multi-cluster internal developer platform that powers mission-critical microservices across the organization.

You will work closely with product teams, platform architects, and engineering managers to evolve our platform into a highly automated, self-service ecosystem that accelerates developer productivity and enables secure, seamless deployments at scale.

Our technical stack includes Azure Kubernetes Service, Envoy Gateway, Opentelemetry Operator, LGTM Stack, Crossplane, KEDA, Cert Manager, External DNS, Kyverno, External Secrets Operator, Argo CD, Helm, Bicep, Github Actions.

What You’ll Do

• Treat the platform as a product. This involves gathering feedback, identifying friction, and continuously improving workflows and interfaces.
• Design, build, and operate cloud-native infrastructure with an everything-as-code mindset.
• Write production-quality code (Bash, YAML, Bicep, Github Actions)
• Drive complex features and refactoring efforts across provisioning, deployments, observability, and cluster lifecycle management.
• Partner closely with product teams to understand real workflows and deliver a frictionless self-service experience.

WHO YOU WILL WORK WITH

You will be working in a team with experienced Platform Engineers and Site Reliability Engineers within Platform Engineering. Our sister-teams within Platform Engineering area are Quality Engineering, Development Tools and Applications (CICD/Applications scaffolding).

WHO YOU ARE

• 5+ experience in platform engineering, SRE, or application engineering roles.
• Deep expertise in Kubernetes, containers, and the cloud-native ecosystem.
• A builder mindset - you write and ship code regularly.
• Excellent technical writing skills.
• Experience operating in public cloud environments (Azure, AWS, or GCP) with modern IaC and GitOps tooling.
• Proven track record improving developer workflows, self-service capabilities, or internal platforms.
• Understanding of networking (TLS, DNS, HTTP, GRPC, proxies).
• Experience with modern observability practices and tooling (instrumentation, metrics, logs, tracing, profiling).

WHY JOIN US

• Make a real impact - you’ll have significant influence over the direction of the platform and shape how platform engineering works across the company.
• Platform at the center of transformation - as the organization continues its transition to microservices, the platform sits at pole position, with rapid growth and growing strategic importance.
• Modern, cloud-native stack - we invest in staying current with the cloud-native ecosystem and evolving our architecture accordingly.
• Ideas matter here - we value curiosity, experimentation, and thoughtful innovation, and give engineers space to turn ideas into reality.
• Supportive, low-ego culture - you’ll work with collaborative teammates who care about helping each other succeed and building great things together.
