DevOps / Platform Engineer

DevOps / Platform Engineer – Developer Enablement Team

We’re looking for a DevOps / Platform Engineer to join our Developer Enablement team, with a mission to improve the developer experience by building and supporting internal platforms that power the entire lifecycle of container-based applications.

This role sits at the crossroads of software engineering and infrastructure, where you’ll design CI/CD workflows, streamline container image promotion, enforce security policies, and implement GitOps-based deployment pipelines using ArgoCD. The ideal candidate is passionate about reducing developer friction by building scalable tools, automation, and abstractions.

This is not a traditional operations role. We're seeking an engineer who writes production-quality code and treats platform infrastructure as a product.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, build, and maintain internal platform tooling to support the software development lifecycle from build through production.
• Collaborate closely with developers to improve efficiency, automation, and overall experience.
• Create and manage robust CI/CD workflows using GitHub Actions and ArgoCD.
• Implement Infrastructure as Code using Terraform.
• Manage and evolve Kubernetes environments for development and production.
• Integrate security, policy enforcement, and compliance into deployment pipelines.
• Work with container registries, service mesh technologies (e.g., Istio), and GitOps strategies for multi-environment delivery.
• Document platform capabilities and provide internal support to drive adoption.
• Participate in design discussions, code reviews, and continuous improvement initiatives.

Required Skills & Experience (Must-Haves)

To be considered for this role, candidates must demonstrate:

• Deep expertise in Terraform and Infrastructure as Code practices.
• Strong hands-on experience with Kubernetes, including deployment and support of containerized workloads.
• Proven experience building CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions and/or ArgoCD.
• Familiarity with container image promotion, GitOps workflows, and version control best practices.
• Proficiency in at least one programming/scripting language such as Python, Go, or JavaScript.
• Working knowledge of Istio or similar service mesh solutions.
• Understanding of cloud-native development, DevOps principles, and operational tooling.
• Ability to work cross-functionally with development and operations teams.

Preferred (Nice-to-Have) Skills

Candidates with the following experience will stand out:

• Exposure to Azure DevOps, especially with pipeline templating and container scanning integration.
• Familiarity with internal developer portals such as Backstage.io.
• Experience with security scanning and compliance checks within CI/CD workflows.
• Knowledge of cost optimization, multi-cluster, or multi-cloud deployments.
• Experience building internal developer tools or CLI utilities.

Coachables / Growth Areas

We also welcome candidates who show strong foundational skills and are eager to grow in the following areas:

• Basic or limited experience with Istio, but strong Kubernetes proficiency.
• Experience with Jenkins or GitLab CI, willing to transition to GitHub Actions and ArgoCD.
• Intermediate coding ability, with a demonstrated willingness to learn and build with Python or Go.
• Familiarity with GitOps concepts and a strong desire to work in declarative infrastructure environments.
