Senior Platform Engineer

SpreetailArizona, TX

About The Position

Spreetail is looking for a Senior Platform Engineer to join our team! Platform Engineering is redefining how software is built at Spreetail. We enable innovation by providing platforms, guardrails, and AI-powered workflows that allow teams across the company to experiment safely and scale what works. As a member of this team, you’ll contribute to work that doesn’t exist most places.

Requirements

  • Production EKS ownership: cluster management, Karpenter, IRSA/Pod Identity, version upgrades — not just deploying to someone else’s cluster.
  • Terraform module authoring for team-wide use — not just consuming shared modules, but writing them.
  • Full AWS stack: VPC, RDS (IAM auth), ElastiCache, ALB, Route53, ACM, IAM policy design.
  • Service mesh operational experience (Istio preferred; Linkerd or Envoy acceptable).
  • 5+ years of infrastructure/platform engineering in production cloud environments.
  • This position requires being a part of the on-call rotation, which is currently around 1 out of every 4 weeks.

Responsibilities

  • Provision complete infrastructure stacks for new product launches. Recent examples include full EKS buildouts (Karpenter, Istio, Crossplane), PostgreSQL/Redis data stores with IAM authentication, CloudFront distributions, and Datadog instrumentation across multiple concurrent initiatives.
  • Lead Kubernetes platform evolution. Drive cluster upgrades, add-on lifecycle (Karpenter, Istio, Crossplane), pod identity migration, and namespace management across all environments.
  • Design secure, scalable abstractions that hide infrastructure complexity and define the golden paths other teams build on.
  • Own authentication infrastructure for internal and external products: Auth0 SSO, Azure AD/Entra, AWS IAM, EKS Pod Identity, and OIDC federation.
  • Drive zero-trust infrastructure patterns. Rotating IAM credentials for RDS, per-app Istio authorization policies, and network isolation.
  • Enable LLM-powered workflows (Bedrock, Claude Code, and similar) that let engineering teams move faster without sacrificing governance.

Benefits

  • Generous vacation policy
  • Paid time-off for wedding week
  • Paid parental leave
  • Support for parents of growing families
  • Opportunity to receive special gifts, swag store credit, or donations to a nonprofit of your choice
  • Spreetail Spotlight Awards
  • Affordable medical, dental and vision plans with coast-to-coast coverage
  • Free telehealth
  • On-demand mental health resources
  • Paid time off to give back and make a social impact
