Platform Operations Engineer
Builds and scales platform infrastructure on AWS EKS with GitOps via ArgoCD, manages CI/CD with GitHub Actions, drives observability using Datadog/Sentry/CloudWatch, and ensures reliability through SLOs and incident response. Requires 3+ years SRE/DevOps experience and Kubernetes expertise.
About the job
Responsibilities
- Support the Platform Infrastructure - Help manage and scale our container environment on Amazon EKS, implement GitOps workflows using ArgoCD, and maintain CI/CD pipelines through GitHub Actions to ensure that deployments are fast, consistent, and automated
- Build for Reliability - Define and track SLIs and SLOs, lead incident response including on-call rotations, root cause analysis, and post-mortems, and contribute to disaster recovery planning to keep our systems highly available
- Drive Observability - Design and maintain our monitoring and logging stack using Datadog, Sentry, and CloudWatch — giving engineering teams clear visibility into system health and performance before problems reach users
- Shape the Platform's Future - Collaborate on architectural decisions, build internal tooling and self-service workflows that make the platform easier to operate, and contribute meaningfully to how we scale and evolve our infrastructure
Requirements
- 3+ years in SRE, DevOps, or Cloud Infrastructure

- Experience writing solid Python scripts to glue systems together, automate infrastructure tasks, or handle custom workflows
