Requirements
- Have 3+ years of experience in infrastructure and platform engineering.
- Bring strong backend programming skills in Python or a similar language, beyond scripting and automation.
- Have a solid understanding of AWS and experience with infrastructure as code, such as Terraform.
- Have created internal services beyond build and deployment pipelines, such as identity, telemetry or background job processing.
- Have experience with message queues or workflow orchestration tools.
- Have improved and scaled an established, already-successful product platform rather than starting from zero.
- Bring hands-on application-layer backend coding experience alongside infrastructure work, rather than a pure DevOps or SRE profile.
- Have experience acting as an internal platform team by gathering needs, building shared tooling and removing bottlenecks.
- Have experience setting technical direction and making architecture decisions.
- Be comfortable working in a fast-paced startup environment and have a history of improving team productivity, reliability and development velocity.
- Bonus: experience in education technology or cybersecurity, or in industries handling sensitive or regulated information.
- Bonus: familiarity with security and privacy controls in settings with formal compliance obligations.
Responsibilities
- Identify, prioritize, design and deliver platform solutions across cloud infrastructure, test infrastructure, shared libraries, security practices, authentication and deployment tooling.
- Take ownership of production availability through monitoring, recovery processes and a periodic on-call rotation.
- Work with engineering stakeholders to understand pain points and enable the team to ship quickly without sacrificing quality.
- Lead research and decision-making on technology choices that shape how software is built and maintained.
- Run critical platform projects end to end, including defining scope, creating tickets and managing timelines.
- Help the engineering group grow its platform skills by writing guides, giving talks, joining design and code reviews across teams, and coaching junior colleagues.
- Build full-stack solutions, including frontend work, when needed to deliver value to engineers and the wider business.
