Role Description We are looking for a Platform Engineer to own our internal developer platform end to end. This is a senior individual contributor role spanning CI/CD, edge infrastructure, observability, and developer tooling across a TypeScript and Python monorepo. You will treat internal engineers as your primary users and measure success by their productivity. The role has a clear growth path toward Staff or Principal-level engineering. - Design and maintain GitHub Actions workflows across a monorepo, including reusable workflows, OIDC federation to Cloudflare and Vercel, and a comprehensive CI quality bar covering type-checking, linting, testing, and SAST. - Own the full deployment pipeline from branch to preview to production, including artifact signing, SBOM generation, and supply chain security practices. - Instrument Python and TypeScript services with OpenTelemetry, own OTel Collector configuration, and establish a vendor-neutral observability strategy covering traces, logs, and metrics across edge compute environments. - Define SLOs with product teams, implement error budget alerting, and set the organization-wide logging contract. - Own Cloudflare and Vercel configuration as code via Terraform or Pulumi, ensuring all infrastructure changes are PR-reviewed and version-controlled. - Build and maintain internal CLIs and scaffolding tools that provision new services pre-wired with CI, OTel, and deployment configuration. - Maintain an AI-aware development environment with agent-safe sandboxing and governance guardrails for AI-generated code entering production. - Track and report on platform impact: deployment frequency, PR cycle time, time-to-production, and developer satisfaction. Qualifications - Demonstrated experience in platform engineering, DevOps, or developer experience engineering in a professional context. - Strong hands-on proficiency in Python, TypeScript, and Bash. - Deep experience with GitHub Actions, Infrastructure as Code (Terraform or Pulumi), and OIDC-based keyless authentication. - Working knowledge of OpenTelemetry and software supply chain security practices. - Familiarity with edge compute platforms, particularly Cloudflare Workers and Vercel. - Strong written communication; able to produce documentation and architecture decision records that let the platform operate without direct intervention. - Self-directed and comfortable shaping a function that is still early in its development. Preferred Qualifications - Experience with Sigstore or cosign, policy-as-code tooling (OPA), or internal developer portals (Backstage). - Background in FinOps or cloud cost attribution. - Experience designing CI/CD systems that accommodate AI coding agents and non-deterministic code generation workflows.
