Software Engineer: Platform

The Role

We’re looking for a Platform Engineer to define and lead the technical direction of our platform as we scale 10x+ in enterprise customers.

This is a hands-on, high-impact role responsible for architecture, reliability, and developer experience across our Kubernetes-based infrastructure. You will solve hard technical problems, raise the engineering bar through your work, and be a key technical partner to product engineers across the company.

What You Will Own

Platform Reliability & Scalability

• Design and implement scalable solutions within our Kubernetes-based platform for secure enterprise workloads.

• Define and contribute to reliability initiatives: SLOs, capacity planning, and resilience improvements.

• Identify and resolve system misconfigurations and architectural risks.

• Build systems that support 10x customer growth with clear failure modes and mitigation strategies.

Infrastructure as a Product

• Own and continuously improve internal platform systems: deployments, environments, and developer tooling.

• Drive improvements to reliability, observability, and operational workflows.

• Act as a force multiplier for product engineers by building guardrails (not gates) and self-serve tooling.

Systems Thinking

• Bring structure and rigor to complex infrastructure problems.

• Contribute to internal engineering standards and design principles.

• Work cross-functionally with engineering, product, and leadership to unblock and accelerate delivery.

What You Will Need

• Extensive, production-grade Kubernetes scaling experience (not just operating clusters, but growing them significantly from early-stage to production-critical workloads).

• Deep understanding of distributed systems tradeoffs.

• Previously worked in:

  • Big tech → then startup

  • Or startup that successfully scaled infrastructure.

• Strong systems mindset.

• Comfortable operating in ambiguity.

• Enjoys being a technical owner with broad company impact.
