Platform Engineer
Perry Weather is the weather safety standard for organizations that operate outdoors. We combine on-site weather hardware with a software platform that automates alerts, siren activations, and safety decisions for more than 3,000 organizations — from the PGA of America, the NFL, and MLB to Turner Construction, thousands of school districts, cities, and golf courses. We've grown 80%+ annually for five consecutive years, and are continuing to grow. We're headquartered in Dallas at The Centrum, in the Oak Lawn neighborhood, where our teams work together every day to help organizations make faster and safer decisions when weather puts people, assets, and operations at risk.
About the role
We're looking for a Platform Engineer to help build and run the infrastructure the rest of engineering depends on. You'll partner closely with our Lead Platform Engineer, designing and delivering the work together, and own real surface area from the start: infrastructure as code, our Kubernetes environments, delivery pipelines, observability, and the guardrails that keep all of it safe to change. Engineering is your customer. Success in this role looks like fast service setup, uneventful deploys, and engineers who can diagnose a failing workload without asking for help. Engineering here also works with AI coding agents daily, which adds to the platform team's job: checks that catch generated infrastructure errors before they apply, scoped credentials and audit trails for automated actors, and cost reporting that accounts for agent usage. You'll use agents in your own work and help build these controls for everyone else.
Responsibilities
- Infrastructure as code. Write and maintain the Terraform that defines our cloud footprint, review changes for blast radius, and keep our modules usable by engineers outside the platform team.
- Kubernetes and workloads. Run our clusters
