Platform Engineer

Keep Worker fast, reliable and secure as more companies run on it.

About the role

Companies run their plan, their numbers and their weekly leadership meeting on Worker, so it has to be fast and ready when they need it. As a platform engineer, you own the cloud setup, deploys and monitoring that keep it that way.

You’ll work with the rest of engineering, and with our US teams in the afternoon. You make it easy for every engineer to ship safely, and you are the first to know when something slows down.

What you’ll do

• Own our cloud setup, deploys and monitoring.
• Make releases safe and quick for every engineer.
• Build the tools and pipelines the team uses to test and ship code.
• Find and fix slow spots before anyone notices them.
• Set up alerts that point to the real problem, and fix the noisy ones.
• Lead the response when something breaks, then write up what we learned.
• Keep cloud costs in check.

What you bring

• 5+ years in platform, infrastructure or site reliability work.
• Hands-on experience with a major cloud, CI/CD and monitoring.
• You automate a task the second time you do it.
• Experience running databases in production.
• Calm under pressure when something breaks.

Meet most of these? Please apply. We care more about what you can do than a perfect match.

Nice to have

• Clear written and spoken English.
• Experience with security and compliance work for business software.
• You’ve helped a team move from slow, risky releases to small, steady ones.

Our stack: Python, PostgreSQL, AWS and Kubernetes.

Your first 90 days

1. Month 1Learn our cloud setup, deploys and alerts, and fix the first problems you find.
2. Month 2Take ownership of releases and monitoring, and make one painful step faster for the team.
3. Month 3Lead a larger project, like faster builds or clearer alerts, from plan to finish.

How you’ll live our values

• See it. Own it.When an alert keeps firing or a deploy keeps failing, you find the cause and fix it, instead of muting it and moving on.
• Learn. Improve. Repeat.After every incident, you write down what happened and change the system, so the same problem doesn’t come back.
• Say the hard thing.If a plan puts uptime or data at risk, you say so before it ships, even when the deadline is close.
• Stay until they win.A deploy isn’t done when it goes out. It’s done when owners can run their weekly meeting without a hitch.
