The roleYou will join the Platform Engineering team, which architects, builds, and maintains a developer-focused platform that powers all of Helsing US's product and project teams. You will design and operate cloud infrastructure, deploy and maintain shared services like GitLab, Artifactory, and CI/CD pipelines, and build internal tooling that accelerates software delivery across the organization. You will also enable product teams with their own isolated environments - provisioning cloud accounts, standing up EKS clusters, databases, and the automation to make it all self-service and efficient. Security is foundational to this role: the platform must meet CMMC Level 2 compliance requirements, and you will help ensure that the infrastructure and software supply chain are built to satisfy ATO and NIST security controls.
