Position Overview:
We’re looking for a Senior Engineer to join our Infrastructure & Platform team. This role focuses on building and operating the foundations that power our products: cloud and on-prem infrastructure, Kubernetes platforms, observability, CI/CD systems, and automation.
The must-haves are experience running Kubernetes, working with infrastructure as code (Terraform experience preferred), and being willing to participate in on-call. Beyond that, we know this role spans a wide range of technologies, and we don’t expect you to check every box. You’ll have plenty of opportunities to learn and grow here.
What You’ll Do:
- Operate and maintain Kubernetes clusters (EKS in AWS, k0s for on prem).
- Apply an automation-first mindset using tools such as Terraform, Helm, and Ansible, executed via GitHub Actions.
- Participate in our on-call rotation and help improve reliability. Identify root causes and prevent issues from recurring.
- Operate global colocation environments, including networking, storage, compute, and Proxmox virtualization.
- Support and improve our CI/CD platform (GitHub Actions):
- Partner with teams on CI/CD integrations.
- Maintain a repository of shared GitHub Actions.
- Operate self-hosted runners.
- Build and maintain tooling (primarily written in Go) that streamlines workflows and improves reliability.
- Operate and fine tune our observability and alerting stack (Prometheus, Alertmanager, Grafana, Loki), including maintaining alerting rules, alert routing, and dashboards.
- Collaborate across teams to design scalable, secure, and observable systems.
- Collaborate with the security team to support audit readiness, security scanning, and infrastructure hardening.
What We’re Looking For:
- Strong experience running Kubernetes (not just using it as a developer).
- Hands-on with infrastructure as code (Terraform experience preferred).
- Cloud experience (AWS preferred).
- Experience with CI/CD platforms (GitHub Actions preferred; GitLab CI or similar also fine).
- Willingness to participate in an on-call rotation, with a pragmatic approach to reliability and alerts.
