Platform Engineer

What You'll Do

• Stand up the deployment foundation: CI/CD, shared development and staging environments, and a demo-ready hosting setup that other engineers can use from day one.
• Owning product-facing infrastructure, especially the API gateway and audit pipeline that external users and enterprise buyers depend on.
• Design deployment workflows.
• Build auth middleware and request routing.
• Implement event logging and observability.
• Codify environments with infrastructure as code.
• Define the operational patterns that the rest of the engineering team builds on.

Preferred Background

• Built CI/CD pipelines and shared environments that other engineers depended on to ship production systems.
• Deployed and operated containerized applications across staging and production, including secrets, networking, monitoring, and incident response.
• Designed API gateways, reverse proxies, or auth middleware that handled token validation, rate limiting, and request routing between services.
• Built audit or event logging pipelines that made security-relevant or compliance-relevant activity observable and queryable.
• Written production service code in Python, Go, Rust, or a similar systems-oriented language, and worked comfortably in a polyglot environment.
• Established infrastructure patterns from scratch at an early-stage company, including infrastructure as code, deployment runbooks, and environment management.
