About The Position

We are seeking a Senior / Lead Platform Engineer to design, build, and evolve a highly scalable, secure, and reliable cloud platform powering large-scale consumer-facing applications. This role will lead the development of our internal platform capabilities, enabling engineering teams to deliver software rapidly and safely through standardized, self-service infrastructure, CI/CD, and runtime services. This position combines deep hands-on engineering with technical leadership, focusing on Azure-native architectures, Kubernetes (AKS), GitOps (FluxCD), Infrastructure as Code (Terraform), and modern web delivery technologies. Our Platform Engineers play a critical role in building the internal systems and automation that enable fast, reliable software delivery while abstracting infrastructure complexity from product teams.
