Job Description

Senior Platform Engineer

Loancrate

• Own and evolve our AWS infrastructure using Terraform and Pulumi Cloud - treating infrastructure as a product that engineering teams depend on. • Design and maintain internal developer tooling and libraries that standardize how we build and ship - code generation, shared SDKs, data access patterns, and service scaffolding. • Create and maintain golden paths for common workflows (new service setup, background jobs, event streams, APIs) so teams can ship quickly with built-in security and observability (and consistent defaults across services). • Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines and per-PR ephemeral environments that make deploying feel easy and safe. • Drive reliability through SLOs, auto-scaling, incident response, and postmortems - and build systems that make the next incident less likely. • Create observability tooling and shared instrumentation libraries that give engineers real-time insight into their services. • Enforce security best practices across IAM, secrets management, encryption, audit logging, and DDoS protection. • Own the reliability and performance of our data platform (Aurora PostgreSQL) - provisioning, backups, failover, and tuning - and build tooling that makes safe usage the default. • Reduce toil through automation and self-service tooling so engineers can move fast without waiting on the platform. • Contribute to architecture decisions and documentation, and participate in on-call rotation (shared by the whole engineering team).

Job Requirements

  • Experience building internal platforms / developer tooling: code generation, CLIs, templates, shared SDKs, or frameworks that improve engineering velocity.
  • Strong TypeScript skills and API design taste - you enjoy building stable primitives that other engineers rely on.
  • Deep AWS experience across compute, networking, storage, and security (ECS, Lambda, VPC, ALB, IAM, RDS, ElastiCache, MSK, OpenSearch, S3, CloudWatch, CloudTrail, GuardDuty).
  • Strong Terraform and/or Pulumi proficiency: modules, workspaces, and CI-driven plan/apply workflows.
  • Experience designing and operating CI/CD systems that help large engineering teams ship frequently and confidently.
  • Track record building production observability stacks (Datadog, CloudWatch, Sentry, distributed tracing, SLOs).
  • You’ve built “paved roads” that bake in secure, reliable defaults (instrumentation helpers, policy-as-code, safe-by-default deployment patterns).
  • Security-first mindset - you proactively harden infrastructure without slowing teams down.
  • Aurora PostgreSQL operations at scale: backups, PITR, failover, read replicas, query tuning.
  • Comfort with Docker and container orchestration environments.
  • Reliability engineering mindset: SLOs, error budgets, incident response.
  • Curiosity about the unique infrastructure demands of AI and LLM workloads.
  • Strong written communication - you document decisions and help the team understand the systems they depend on.

Benefits

  • Health insurance
  • 401(k) matching
  • Flexible work hours
  • Paid time off
  • Remote work options
