Senior Platform Engineer, Growth Product Engineering

• 6+ years of professional software, infrastructure, DevOps, platform, or site reliability engineering experience.
• Hands-on AWS production experience (IAM, Lambda, networking, and multi-account organizations) with Infrastructure as Code such as Terraform, AWS CDK, or CloudFormation.
• Designed and operated CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, buildkite) with automated testing, static analysis, coverage enforcement, and deployment gates, plus safe release patterns such as blue/green, canary, feature flags, and reliable rollbacks. We use GitHub Actions workflows for CI/CD.
• Strong Python development experience across services, tooling, and automation, working familiarity with JavaScript-based stacks, and experience with containerization and orchestration (Docker with ECS, EKS, or Kubernetes).
• Cloud security posture management (CSPM) or our tools like Wiz, semgrep, synk, etc.
• Experience building observability into distributed systems: centralized logging, metrics, tracing, and alerting (for example Sentry, Datadog, CloudWatch, or Grafana).
• Track record of designing, building, and operating production infrastructure end to end with measurable gains in reliability, security, or developer velocity, using AI-powered development tools (for example Claude, Cursor, Codex, or Copilot) in a daily workflow.
• Experience with product and feature development: building and shipping customer-facing product features, not just internal platform and infrastructure work.
• Experience building the guardrails that make AI or agent-generated code safe to merge and deploy: mutation testing, coverage enforcement, ephemeral preview environments, or automated rollback.
• A developer experience or platform engineering background, with a track record of paved-path tooling that other engineers actually adopt.
• Familiarity with cloud cost management, performance regression detection, capacity planning, and disaster recovery plans rehearsed against measured RTO and RPO targets.
• Exposure to localization pipelines and to GTM or data tooling such as Salesforce, Contentful, Hightouch, or Databricks, plus an experiment-driven approach to adopting emerging AI technologies.
• Experience with Service Level Indicators (SLIs) and Service Level Objectives (SLOs) as the foundation for observability in our system.
• Own our operational review process and always look for ways to make it better.
