As a Senior Platform Software Engineer, you will join a team focused on building secure, scalable platforms that abstract complexity from product teams while remaining close to underlying systems. You will design and operate shared AI-native platforms, manage cloud-native services, and develop CI/CD pipelines and operational tooling. Your daily work involves constructing infrastructure using Terraform, managing AWS resources like EC2, ECS, EKS, RDS, S3, IAM, and VPC, and developing backend services using Go, Python, Kotlin, Node, or Java. You will also create self-service interfaces to improve developer experience and integrate AI-assisted workflows into infrastructure provisioning and incident response. This role addresses the challenge of productizing infrastructure as a service, ensuring reliability and security through automated guardrails while enabling other engineering teams to move faster within a distributed systems environment.
