Description
We're looking for a Senior Platform Engineer to join our Platform team. This is a hands-on individual-contributor role for someone who sits genuinely in the middle, real infrastructure ownership and application development.
Our Platform team exists to accelerate the rest of engineering. As our product teams build out Immutable Audience, our job is to make them faster and safer, removing toil, clearing blockers, and building the paved roads and self-service tooling that let teams ship without reinventing the foundations each time.
You'll work across the full stack of how we run software, a primarily AWS environment on EKS, GCP powering our data and CDP platform, Terraform, GitOps with Flux, and a Go backend. You'll own things end to end, set your own priorities with light direction, and have real influence over decisions that we'll build on for years.
You'll Be Empowered To
- Own and evolve our AWS and Kubernetes (EKS) foundations, from VPC upwards
- Develop and release Infrastructure as code
- Partner closely with security, product and data teams, understanding what they're building and how the platform supports them
- Define SLOs, SLIs, monitoring, alerting and incident response practices.
- Set the bar for observability excellence within the organisation
- Measure systems' health, scalability and performance metrics and identify areas of improvement.
- Ensure our incident management processes, automation, and remediation are world-class
- Work as a deep technical expert on the services we have ownership over (e.g., cleanup tech debt, maintenance, new architecture patterns)
We'd Love You To Bring
- Hands-on ownership of data reliability and observability: freshness, anomaly and schema-drift monitoring and data SLOs
- Deep AWS fundamentals: EKS/Kubernetes as a day-one runtime, Lambda/serverless, networking, multi-AZ
- Infrastructure-as-code (Terraform), CI/CD, and observability experience
- A real silent-failure story, caught or missed, that changed how you work
- Solid Go (or a strong track record of picking up new languages fast)
- Comfort with AI-assisted development
- Experience with identity resolution and consent or auth data modelling
- On-call ownership with considered views on alert fatigue
- High ownership, candour and a pragmatic, fix-it-while-live disposition
