Requirements
Candidates should have significant experience designing and operating relational data and object storage platforms in production. Hands-on experience with one or more cloud providers (AWS, Azure, GCP) and declarative Infrastructure as Code (Terraform preferred) is required. Programming/scripting ability in Python, Go, Rust or Bash and excellent communication skills with experience working asynchronously on a fully remote, distributed team are also necessary. An edge will be given to those with experience building or running multi-tenant storage platforms at scale, deep expertise in two or more of PostgreSQL, OpenSearch, Redis, Kafka, RabbitMQ, and experience operating infrastructure across multiple clouds.
Responsibilities
The Senior Platform Engineer will design, operate, and scale storage-based infrastructure systems across multiple tenancy models and public clouds. They will deepen the team's expertise in areas such as relational databases, search, caching, queuing, and streaming to strengthen platform scalability, security, and developer experience. This role involves partnering with Architecture, Release Engineering, Network, Compute, and Security teams to provide a seamless platform for application teams. Engineers will leverage tools and languages such as Terraform, Kubernetes, Helm, Argo CD, Python, SQL, Go, Bash, and Datadog.
