About The Position
The Senior Platform Engineer will join the infrastructure team to advance AWS cloud capabilities, application modernization, and internal developer tooling. The role designs, builds, and maintains production-grade AWS infrastructure and container platforms with a focus on high availability, security, and cost efficiency. The engineer develops cloud-native architectures and automated platforms—including Kubernetes, serverless, infrastructure as code, golden paths, and CI/CD pipelines—to help software engineering teams deliver code quickly and securely. The position also involves technical migration and optimization initiatives, security and observability controls, cross-functional technical planning, documentation, and support for cloud infrastructure issues during and outside business hours.

- Experience implementing observability stacks such as Prometheus, Grafana, AWS CloudWatch, and CloudTrail.
Responsibilities
- Design, implement, and operate resilient, secure, and scalable AWS infrastructure for proprietary services and enterprise applications.
- Automate infrastructure delivery using Terraform and establish modular design standards, pattern libraries, and GitOps best practices.
- Configure, scale, and maintain golden paths for Amazon EKS and Docker environments supporting highly available production workloads.
- Lead AWS technical migration and optimization initiatives, including architecture assessments, execution, and risk mitigation.
- Build, optimize, and secure automated delivery pipelines using GitHub, Jenkins, or similar deployment tools.
- Implement and enforce security controls for IAM, VPC configuration, encryption at rest and in transit, and audit logging in alignment with frameworks such as NIST and ISO 27001.
- Implement monitoring, logging, and tracing solutions such as Prometheus, Grafana, CloudWatch, and CloudTrail to support incident response and service health.
- Partner with Application Engineering, InfoSec, and Architecture teams to align technical roadmaps, establish standards, and maintain technical documentation.
