Senior Software Engineer, Platform
About The Position
We're looking for a Senior Platform Engineer to join our DevOps/Infrastructure team. In this role you'll own and extend the tooling that our engineers use every day to build, ship, and maintain our products. As we move further along our AI adoption journey, you'll contribute directly to the AI infrastructure and enablement tooling that this team is responsible for. As the team's first dedicated Platform Engineer, you'll take a software-first approach to solving core infrastructure challenges through automation, self-serve tooling development, and by deploying new autonomous agentic systems. You'll operate as a cloud administrator within our AWS and Kubernetes environments, participate in our incident response rotation, provide direct support to other engineers over Slack, and act as a technical leader when designing and implementing new DevOps tooling solutions. Your efforts will directly improve the core DORA metrics of Super.com. This is a hands-on technical role with some intern mentorship and thought leadership responsibilities.
