Senior Platform Engineer
About The Position
We're looking for a Platform Engineer to join our growing Platform Engineering team and play a critical role in shaping how we build, deploy, and operate software. You'll work alongside our Staff Platform Engineer and collaborate closely with the broader Engineering team. This role sits at the intersection of enablement and governance—you'll empower our engineering teams to move fast while ensuring everything we do meets the highest standards for security and compliance. You'll own our GCP infrastructure, build out scalable environments, and establish the standards and tooling that make our engineers productive. At the same time, you'll be the guardian of our security posture and compliance commitments, ensuring we meet NIST and SOC-2 requirements without slowing down innovation.
Requirements
- 5+ years of experience in platform engineering, DevOps, SRE, or infrastructure roles
- Strong hands-on experience with Google Cloud Platform (GCP)
- Proficiency with infrastructure-as-code tools, particularly Terraform
- Experience designing and implementing CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Cloud Build, or similar)
- Solid understanding of security principles and experience implementing security controls in cloud environments
- Familiarity with compliance frameworks (NIST, SOC-2) and implementing controls to meet audit requirements
- Strong scripting and automation skills (Python, Bash, or similar)
- Excellent communication skills and ability to work collaboratively with engineering teams
Nice To Haves
- Experience in fintech or other regulated industries
- Knowledge of Kubernetes and container orchestration
- Experience with API management platforms (e.g., Apigee)
- Background in observability tools (Datadog, Prometheus, Grafana, or similar)
- Relevant certifications (GCP Professional, CISSP, etc.)
Responsibilities
- Build and maintain our GCP infrastructure, creating consistent, repeatable environments across development, staging, and production
- Design and implement CD pipeline standards that enable teams to deploy confidently and frequently
- Develop internal tooling, templates, and automation that reduce friction for software engineers
- Create and maintain infrastructure-as-code (Terraform) to ensure environments are reproducible and auditable
- Provide support and guidance to engineering teams on platform best practices
- Continuously improve developer experience by identifying and eliminating bottlenecks
- Implement and maintain security controls across our GCP environment (IAM, VPC configuration, secrets management, encryption)
- Ensure compliance with NIST frameworks (CSF, 800-53) including access controls, continuous monitoring, and risk management
- Support SOC-2 compliance by implementing controls for security, availability, and confidentiality, along with auditable change management processes
- Maintain comprehensive documentation and evidence for internal and external audits
- Conduct security reviews and work with teams to remediate vulnerabilities
- Build observability and logging infrastructure that meets compliance retention and integrity requirements
- Work as part of the Platform Engineering and Engineering teams to understand needs and deliver solutions
- Partner with the Staff Platform Engineer on architecture decisions and platform strategy
- Partner with GRC/compliance stakeholders to translate requirements into technical controls
- Participate in incident response, root cause analysis, and postmortems
- Contribute to architectural decisions and help establish engineering standards
- Mentor team members and share knowledge across the organization
