Job Summary

We are seeking a Platform Engineer to help build and operate the infrastructure, reliability, and operability of our product platform. This role balances infrastructure engineering with hands-on development-you will help run containerized services on Kubernetes, contribute to an in-house Go control-plane service, work with data infrastructure, support observability, and write automation and tooling that keeps the platform healthy.

You will work across the platform-from container build and deployment through data services, monitoring, and incident response-contributing to a system maintained by the wider team and partnering with application developers to ship and run workloads reliably in production.

Key Responsibilities

Platform & Deployment Engineering

• Help deploy and operate containerized services on Kubernetes / OpenShift, packaged and released via Helm
• Contribute to an in-house Go control-plane service that reconciles Kubernetes resources to provision and manage isolated per-user
• environments - make changes to reconcile logic and add features within established patterns
• Manage multi-environment configuration and promote changes safely across environments
• Apply security and least-privilege practices to deployments

Data Infrastructure

• Work with PostgreSQL as a primary data store-queries, migrations, and routine operations
• Help manage deployment-time secrets across environments

Observability & Reliability

• Build and maintain monitoring, dashboards, and alerting with Grafana and related tooling
• Instrument services for health, performance, and usage insight
• Participate in incident response and on-call; investigate issues and drive fixes

Development & Developer Enablement

• Write and maintain automation, tooling, and service code that supports the platform
• Provide reliable local and staging environments for application developers
• Improve deployment safety, rollback, and release confidence ahead of launches
• Partner with application teams to ship features into production

AI-Assisted & Agentic Engineering

• This role requires comfort working alongside AI-powered tools while maintaining strong engineering judgment, validation, and accountability for outcomes.
• Engineers will contribute to the adoption and continuous improvement of AI-enabled workflows by providing feedback, identifying opportunities for automation, and safely incorporating AI assistance into repeatable operational patterns.
• This includes leveraging approved AI tools and agents to assist with platform operations, troubleshooting, automation, documentation, and workflow efficiency under established governance and best practices.
• Engineers on the INFOPS IT Architecture team are expected to actively use and support AI-assisted and agentic engineering workflows as part of their day-to-day work.
