Platform Engineer

Responsibilities

• Own the deployment pipeline end to end: CI/CD from commit to production, including staging build gating, automated rollback, and zero-manual-step deploys
• Ensure environment parity across dev, staging, and production: DB initialization, auth configs, integration consistency, and review apps
• Build incident reduction infrastructure: app-level health checks, migration safeguards, automated alerting on deploy failures, and deployment guardrails
• Improve observability: fix false-positive exceptions, make request time metrics useful, clean up tech debt in service naming
• Integrate agentic coding: evaluate and deploy AI-assisted developer tooling (automated bug trackers, code review automation, environment provisioning)
• Manage ECS operations and infrastructure: running tasks, container orchestration, RDS, and new environment setup

Requirements

• 5+ years building and improving CI/CD pipelines across dev, staging, and production environments (designed these systems, not just consumed them)
• Production AWS experience with ECS, RDS, and related services (can debug infrastructure issues live)
• Mix of startup and larger-scale experience
• Track record of eliminating deployment toil (automated manual steps, built guardrails, redesigned workflows for reliability)
• Opinions about developer productivity backed by shipped tooling or process improvements
• Solid fundamentals in database operations and security practices in production environments
• Hands-on use of agentic coding tools in real workflows

Nice to Haves

• Ruby on Rails deployment experience
• Experience building automated developer tooling that a team actually adopted
