TL;DR · Senior Developer Platform Engineer

As a Sr. Developer Platform Engineer, you will join the team focused on developer productivity to build and enhance the "Developer Inner Loop." You will be responsible for maintaining platform capabilities, implementing AI-powered tooling, and improving workflows across local development, CI/CD pipelines, testing infrastructure, and release readiness. Your daily work involves building automated testing frameworks, managing ephemeral environments, and developing scripts to automate routine engineering tasks like debugging and code quality checks. To succeed, you must possess expertise in microservices deployment on Kubernetes across AWS, GCP, or Azure, along with experience in GitOps, ArgoCD, and build tools like Gradle or Bazel. You will utilize GitLab CI, GitHub Actions, or Jenkins to manage delivery pipelines while leveraging your skills in scripting and automation to resolve bottlenecks and improve overall developer experience.

What you'll do

  • Build and maintain standardized CI/CD pipelines to automate testing and deployment workflows.
  • Implement AI-powered tools and workflows into the developer experience to automate routine engineering tasks.
  • Develop and maintain infrastructure for ephemeral environments and streamlined local development tooling.
  • Create automated testing frameworks to support shift-left quality goals and ensure system reliability.
  • Build and enhance core components of the developer platform to improve stability and usability.
  • Identify and resolve bottlenecks in developer workflows and platform performance metrics.
  • Develop scripts and lightweight tools to automate internal platform capabilities and operations.

What we're looking for

  • Must have 5+ years of experience in progressively complex software engineering roles.
  • Proven experience implementing platform, infrastructure, or developer tooling solutions.
  • Experience with end-to-end delivery of internal engineering systems from discovery to rollout.
  • Expertise in microservices deployment on Kubernetes across AWS, GCP, or Azure.
  • Proficiency in building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines using tools like GitLab CI, GitHub Actions, or Jenkins.
  • Experience with GitOps, ArgoCD, and local development build tooling such as Gradle or Bazel.
  • Skills in scripting and automation specifically for release and build management.
  • Export controls.
