Job Summary:

We are seeking a Senior Platform Engineer to lead the design, automation, and operation of secure, scalable AWS cloud infrastructure in a fast-paced, agile environment.

This role focuses on building and managing modern compute platforms using EKS and ECS, implementing Infrastructure-as-Code to standardize environments, and owning CI/CD, observability, and reliability across the development lifecycle.

The ideal candidate will collaborate closely with engineering, product, and security teams to deliver high-quality solutions while mentoring team members and promoting a culture of continuous improvement and operational excellence.

Key Responsibilities:

Design, build, and operate scalable and secure AWS cloud infrastructure.
Develop and manage containerized platforms using EKS (Kubernetes) and ECS (Fargate and EC2).
Implement Infrastructure-as-Code solutions using tools such as AWS CDK, Terraform, or CloudFormation.
Design and maintain CI/CD pipelines, deployment automation, and release management processes.
Establish and enhance observability practices including monitoring, logging, tracing, alerting, and dashboards.
Collaborate with cross-functional teams to deliver reliable and scalable cloud-native solutions.
Apply cloud security best practices, including identity management, encryption, and least privilege principles.
Support multi-region and globally distributed cloud architectures where applicable.
Mentor and guide engineers to improve cloud adoption, reliability practices, and automation strategies.
Participate in agile development processes with a focus on continuous improvement and rapid iteration.

Required Qualifications:

10+ years of experience building and operating large-scale systems on AWS.
Strong expertise in AWS services such as VPC, IAM, CloudWatch, RDS, S3, KMS, Route53, and networking.
Hands-on experience with container orchestration using EKS (Kubernetes) and ECS.
Proficiency in Infrastructure-as-Code tools such as AWS CDK (TypeScript), Terraform, or CloudFormation.
Experience with CI/CD pipeline design, automation, and environment orchestration.
Strong experience implementing observability solutions using tools like Datadog, Prometheus, Grafana, CloudWatch, or OpenTelemetry.
Programming or scripting skills in TypeScript, Python, Go, or Bash.
Solid understanding of cloud security principles including identity management, encryption, and zero-trust models.
Strong communication and collaboration skills across technical and non-technical teams.
Experience working in agile environments with iterative development practices.

Preferred Qualifications:

Experience working in regulated or high-security industries such as financial services or healthcare.
Background in supporting highly available, large-scale distributed systems.
Familiarity with AWS cost optimization practices and the AWS Well-Architected Framework.
Contributions to cloud-native, DevOps, or Kubernetes-related open-source projects.
