About the job

We are looking for an Experienced Platform Engineer to provide technical leadership within our R&D organization.

In this role, you will design, develop, and improve cloud infrastructure and engineering capabilities supporting R&D platforms and internal applications. You will combine hands-on engineering with technical leadership, helping the team make sound architectural decisions and operate complex systems effectively.

Our current technology landscape includes AWS, Azure, Amazon EKS, Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), and Terraform. We expect our tools to evolve and value engineers who can evaluate technologies pragmatically and apply durable engineering principles.

This position is ideal if you enjoy simplifying complex infrastructure, leading cross-system technical work, mentoring engineers, and influencing technical direction across teams.

In This Role, Your Responsibilities Will Be:

Design and implement secure, reliable, and maintainable cloud infrastructure

Provide technical direction for infrastructure as code, Kubernetes, and automation

Guide the architecture and operation of shared AWS and Azure environments

Improve infrastructure delivery, validation, observability, and recovery practices

Lead complex infrastructure upgrades, migrations, and technical investigations

Diagnose issues spanning cloud services, Kubernetes, networking, identity, and delivery systems

Evaluate technologies and guide pragmatic architecture and engineering decisions

Define and promote effective infrastructure engineering standards

Lead technical initiatives from discovery through implementation and operation

Balance roadmap improvements with maintenance and operational responsibilities

Collaborate with R&D application and platform teams, security, SRE, release engineering, and IT

Mentor engineers and provide constructive design and code reviews

Create clear architecture documentation, operational guidance, and technical proposals

Remain hands-on in implementation, troubleshooting, and operational support

Who You Are:

You combine strong technical judgment with a practical and collaborative approach. You can navigate ambiguity, identify the most important problems, and guide solutions without introducing unnecessary complexity. You communicate decisions clearly, build alignment across organizational boundaries, and help other engineers grow. You take responsibility for both technical outcomes and the long-term maintainability of systems.

For This Role, You Will Need:

Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Information Technology, or a related discipline, or equivalent practical experience

Significant experience in platform engineering, cloud infrastructure, DevOps, site reliability engineering, or distributed systems

Strong hands-on experience with AWS, Azure, or comparable public cloud platforms

Strong experience with infrastructure as code, preferably Terraform

Strong knowledge of Kubernetes architecture, operations, upgrades, security, and troubleshooting

Experience designing and maintaining infrastructure automation and CI/CD systems

Strong understanding of cloud networking, identity and access management, secrets, and security controls

Experience with observability and operational practices for shared systems

Ability to lead ambiguous, cross-team technical initiatives

Demonstrated experience mentoring engineers and reviewing technical designs

Strong written and verbal communication skills

Professional working proficiency in English

Preferred Qualifications That Set You Apart:

Hands-on experience with AWS or Azure

Deep experience designing or operating Amazon EKS or Azure Kubernetes Service environments

Advanced Terraform experience, including reusable modules, remote state, dependency management, and recovery

Experience operating cloud infrastructure across multiple accounts or environments

Experience designing logging, metrics, tracing, alerting, and incident-response capabilities

Experience with cloud security, disaster recovery, or cost management

Experience improving engineering workflows or shared infrastructure capabilities

Experience influencing technical strategy across multiple teams without direct authority

Experience balancing hands-on delivery with technical leadership
