#ubiquitous intro
Do you enjoy working collaboratively to build tools that empower engineers to create exceptional products? Do you enjoy empowering engineers to build at scale? Are you energized by the challenge of designing and optimizing an internal developer platform that unlocks innovation?
We seek a skilled and motivated Senior Platform Engineer who will develop and maintain our Internal Development Platform (IDP) and related tooling, relentlessly focused on making the software development process quick and painless.
#the gist
You will be dedicated to improving the developer experience, supporting developers and site reliability engineers in their efforts to deploy solutions quickly and efficiently with reduced cognitive load. At your disposal will be tools, automation, workflows, and your own skills to reduce repetitive development tasks, increase productivity, abstract configurations, streamline testing, and simplify pipelines.
As a Platform Engineer, you will balance your engineering work with product owner responsibilities by conducting research, seeking feedback, and gaining buy-in across the organization in your relentless pursuit of improving the developer experience- oftentimes by way of a continuously improved IDP.
As a startup in a fast-paced high growth environment, we are looking for an engineer that isn't bound by dogmatic principles assigned to traditional engineering roles. You’ll be exposed to, develop skills in, and be responsible for work that may at times fall into the traditional world of site reliability, data, security, and software engineering.
#not awkward- just real
Before we get started, let’s be specific here with minimum skill sets. This is a senior-level engineer position. We use Kubernetes, Helm, and Terraform almost exclusively in a 100% cloud-based environment. You are an engineer who is skilled, tested, and comfortable in your knowledge of these technologies.
