The Role

Why this role matters :

On the Platform Engineering Team, you will be responsible for designing, implementing, and managing internal tool sets used by our Engineering teams in their daily routines. The goal of these efforts is to reduce toil and streamline the process of modernizing internal applications. The primary focus is on implementing and managing Cloud Native Kubernetes-based platform ecosystems to deliver the platform of choice hosting production API’s. You’ll be involved in every aspect of engineering from software development strategies, dev workflows, HA and scalability aligned with modern GitOps practices ensuring that the SLA / SLO and cost objectives of the services are maintained, and improved upon.

All this will be accomplished by working on a scrum team with a mixture of experienced developers and engineers. The team will listen to organizational challenges, outline proposals, and work to deliver the requirements. This requires an outgoing personality, a sense of ownership, and being able to work with others to create the best possible product.

In this role, you’ll actively seek out ways to contribute and bring new ideas. You will have the opportunity to extensively utilize open source projects / software, often focusing on developing the 'glue' that integrates systems and enhancing their feature sets. Bringing a sense of vision and contributing to the requirements is expected and encouraged.
