About The RoleWe're looking for a Senior Platform Engineer to help harden, simplify, and operationalize our production platform to meet the demands of enterprise customers. This is not a feature-churn role. The core need centers on infrastructure correctness, system reliability, developer experience, and operational excellence. You’ll own the foundational systems that let our product team move fast with confidence. A major component of this role is collaborating to define and evangelize engineering direction and culture around platform and infrastructure. You’ll work closely with all of engineering to raise the bar across the board. Why This Role MattersGC AI is at an inflection point. The platform that got us here was built for speed — now it needs to be built for scale. As we grow into larger, more demanding enterprise customers, infrastructure correctness and reliability aren't just engineering concerns; they're the foundation of customer trust. This role exists to close the gap between where the platform is and where it needs to be. What You'll Do - Own and evolve our core platform infrastructure—networking, compute, storage, and deployment pipelines—on Google Cloud Platform. - Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines that enable fast, safe, and reliable deployments. - Define and enforce infrastructure as code (IaC) practices using Terraform, Pulumi, or similar. - Unify logging and observability across services—making the platform easier to understand, debug, and operate. - Collaborate with fellow Engineers to maintain clean network boundaries, environment isolation, and operational hygiene. - Drive developer productivity by improving tooling, reducing toil, and building internal platform capabilities. - Contribute to engineering culture and technical direction—helping the team operate at a higher level. What You'll Do - Deep in GCP. You have production experience with IAM, service accounts, project isolation, and networking on Google Cloud Platform. You've operated infrastructure that real customers depend on. - Infrastructure as code is your default. You've built and maintained IaC with Terraform, Pulumi, or similar. You treat infrastructure drift like a bug. - A strong backend engineer. You write production-quality code, TypeScript preferred, and you're comfortable reasoning across the stack when platform decisions touch application behavior. - Observability-minded. You've built or maintained logging and observability pipelines at scale. You know what it takes to make a system legible to the people who run it. - Pragmatic about risk. You reason about operational risk clearly, make tradeoffs deliberately, and ship infrastructure improvements without waiting for perfect conditions. - An owner, not a renter. You fix problems without being asked, follow through on every detail, and communicate proactively when circumstances change. Nice To Have - Experience acting as a technical lead on a team or vertical; strong communication skills. - Experience with platform engineering, internal developer platforms (IDPs), or developer tooling. - Prior work in regulated or enterprise-focused environments. - Familiarity with SRE practices, incident response, or on-call workflows. Location PolicyThis is a remote role unless you fall within the following parameters.
