Job Description:
We're looking for a Platform Engineer with experience building and maintaining infrastructure, tooling, and backend systems that power our engineering teams and products. This role sits at the intersection of platform and backend work - you'll help shape foundational systems, make key architectural decisions, and build the services other engineers rely on. We expect our engineers to work efficiently with modern AI-assisted development tools to ship high-quality code faster. It's a strong fit for someone who enjoys designing systems from the ground up and improving how things are built, not just keeping them running.
Specific responsibilities:
- Design, build, and evolve core backend services and platform infrastructure.
- Make foundational architecture and system design decisions that scale.
- Leverage AI-assisted development tools to write, review, and ship code efficiently.
- Own and improve CI/CD pipelines to enable fast, safe deployments.
- Manage and scale cloud infrastructure using infrastructure-as-code.
- Build and maintain container orchestration platforms.
- Design, manage, and secure API gateways and internal/external API platforms.
- Implement and improve observability — monitoring, logging, alerting, and tracing.
- Improve system reliability, availability, and performance across services.
- Lead or contribute to migrations and re-architecture of existing systems.
- Automate manual operational processes and reduce toil.
- Partner with engineering teams to streamline development and deployment workflows.
- Participate in on-call rotations and incident responses.
What You Bring:
- 3-4+ years of experience in platform, infrastructure, backend, DevOps, or SRE roles.
- Strong backend engineering fundamentals and system design skills.
- Experience architecting or rebuilding systems for scalability and reliability.
- Proven ability to use AI coding tools (e.g., Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Cursor) to ship production-quality code.
- Strong ex
