Senior Platform Engineer

Job Description

We’re looking for a Senior Platform Engineer to join our Data Division, where you’ll work alongside a small but experienced team to scale and operate our internal data platform. This platform powers everything from application development to analytics and integrations, and your job will be to help make it more reliable, scalable, and easy for other engineers to use.

You’ll spend your time building automation, supporting production systems, and improving how our engineering teams interact with data infrastructure. If you enjoy working with cloud-native services, improving operations, and building tools that simplify life for other developers, this role is a great fit.

What You’ll Do:

• Help build and operate our internal data platform, supporting database technologies including SQL NoSQL, data processing technologies, and data storage systems used across the company.

• Develop automation, tooling, and reusable components that enable other engineers to self-serve database resources and manage data infrastructure more easily.

• Contribute to the reliability and scalability of production systems by building resilient deployment patterns and participating in incident response.

• Write infrastructure-as-code (Terraform) to provision and manage cloud resources in a consistent, automated way.

• Partner with senior engineers to improve observability and monitoring across our data systems, and to define SLAs/SLOs.

• Participate in technical design discussions and code reviews, gaining exposure to platform architecture and infrastructure decisions.

• Stay current on cloud infrastructure best practices and emerging tools, and bring ideas to the team for how we can continuously improve.

What We’re Looking For:

• 5+ years of experience in platform, SRE, DevOps, or infrastructure engineering roles.

• Experience managing or supporting cloud-based databases such as PostgreSQL, OpenSearch, DynamoDB, or MongoDB.

• Familiarity with AWS core services (e.g., EC2, EKS, RDS, S3, IAM).

• Solid understanding of infrastructure as code using tools like Terraform or CloudFormation.

• Comfortable with tool building, shell scripting, and basic software engineering practices (e.g., Python, Ruby).

• Some experience with or interest in monitoring and alerting systems (e.g., Datadog, Sumologic, Honeycomb).

• Strong problem-solving skills, eagerness to learn, and a collaborative attitude.

• A growing interest in platform thinking—designing systems for other engineers, not just yourself.

• Experience with Kubernetes (EKS) and container orchestration is a strong plus

Why You’ll Love It Here:

• You’ll work on a modern platform stack and have room to grow your technical and product skills.

• You’ll be mentored by experienced engineers while owning meaningful parts of our infrastructure.

• You’ll contribute to an internal platform that has a direct impact on developer productivity across the company.

• You’ll be part of a company building tools that help real people in construction solve hard problems.
