We're seeking a Platform Engineer to join our fully remote team. The Platform Team is focused on supporting internal engineering teams by creating services and guidance to help them reach their operational goals.

About the TeamThe organization is transforming to a model where small, empowered teams own the things they build from inception through production. The Platform Team was created to provide resources to these teams to enable them to rapidly deploy scalable, observable, reliable, and secure applications. Those resources include shared development tools, platforms to run their application and expertise on building, and running complex distributed systems. Our customers are internal engineering teams and it is our job to help them be successful.We approach operations as a software engineering problem. All of our work should be captured in source control and changes we have made should be built, tested, deployed, and verified using automated pipelines.We understand that operational roles can be stressful so the team works to find creative solutions to achieve healthy work-life balance while meeting the organization's needs. Our current on-call rotation would have you on-call one week out of every four. We average less than 3 alerts outside of work hours per month.We value learning and make time during the work day for our team members to grow their skillsets.

About the JobThis role will have a huge impact across the organization. It will require building relationships with engineers throughout the organization and all changes will have to be made while considering their impact on multiple products with active users.

Responsibilities
  • Help to define and share the vision for our internal platform and services.
  • Research and implement solutions that address cross-cutting concerns.
  • Create and operate systems using pipelines and evolve legacy systems to that model as well.
  • Participate in Blameless Postmortems of production issues in order to identify potential improvements.
  • Advocate for scalable, observable, reliable, and secure practices across the organization.
  • Be on-call for services that the Platform Team owns and be available during production issues of systems that run on our platform.
  • Provide guidance to engineering teams to effectively move to a container-based platform.

About You
  • Encouraging and patient when dealing with engineers and teams new to running their own operations or new tools.
  • Experience designing, building, running, and troubleshooting complex distributed systems.
  • Have initiative and will unblock yourself in order to accomplish goals.
  • Tend to iterate over solutions and deliver work incrementally rather than delivering large, risky chunks of work.

  • Are willing to maintain legacy systems while working towards a solution for replacing them.
