Senior Platform Engineer
HyperFi•San Francisco, CA
65d
About The Position
We’re looking for a Senior Platform Engineer to join early — someone who knows what “production ready” really means, and who’s excited to build the infrastructure, observability, and tooling that power everything else. You’ll work closely with our engineers and CTO to design and evolve the foundation of our systems — from GCP Terraform modules to Databricks pipelines and deployment flows. This is a clean-slate environment: no legacy, no gatekeeping, just impact.You have strong opinions? We want to hear them.
Requirements
- 6–8 years of experience in DevOps, Platform, or SRE-type roles
- Expert-level Terraform and strong command of GCP primitives
- Proven ability to own CI/CD pipelines and production deployment workflows
- Hands-on familiarity with Python services, especially async backends
- Practical knowledge of observability, security, and IaC best practices
- Startup-ready mindset: pragmatic, lean, self-directed, allergic to bureaucracy
- Confident English communication for cross-hub collaboration
Nice To Haves
- Have run DataDog, Prometheus, Grafana, or OpenTelemetry in production
- Built ephemeral or preview environments for dev/test
- Automated Databricks or Unity Catalog workspace provisioning
- Designed internal CLI tools or DX improvements
- Survived (and learned from) a real-world incident or outage
Responsibilities
- Own and evolve our Terraform-based GCP stack — provisioning services, networking, and secrets
- Design and operate CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Cloud Build) to keep deploys fast and safe
- Implement and maintain observability (metrics, logs, traces, alerts) with tools like DataDog or OpenTelemetry
- Partner with backend engineers to define service boundaries, infrastructure modules, and deployment patterns
- Help shape Databricks and Unity Catalog infrastructure, including workspace automation and secrets management
- Drive reliability practices — health checks, rollbacks, autoscaling, graceful degradation
- Build internal developer tooling that makes local development and preview environments smooth and repeatable
- Be a multiplier: improve our developer experience, not just uptime
Benefits
- Full-time role with competitive comp
- Flexible hours, async-friendly culture, engineering-led environment
