About the Role
We're looking for a Platform Engineer to own and evolve the cloud infrastructure and developer tooling that underpins the entire Portal engineering team. This is a broad, hands-on platform engineering role where you'll work across cloud infrastructure, RBAC/IAM, CI/CD, Kubernetes, and developer productivity. You'll build systems and guardrails to help application developers move faster and more safely.
Responsibilities
- Design, build, and maintain cloud infrastructure, CI/CD, and developer tooling (primarily Azure) using IaC (Terraform) across development, staging, and production environments.
- Own and evolve RBAC/IAM across cloud/infrastructure and application/product layers for a multi-tenant Portal environment.
- Build and improve CI/CD pipelines to increase developer velocity, reliability, and deployment safety.
- Support and improve Kubernetes-based deployment workflows and platform services.
- Build internal tools and observability capabilities to help engineers deliver performant, reliable software at scale.
- Participate in a support/on-call rotation, respond to incidents, support engineers, and contribute to root cause analysis.
- Apply practical security and networking knowledge to harden the platform and coach application developers on best practices.
Requirements
- Strong hands-on cloud infrastructure experience, ideally Azure, with production Terraform/IaC experience.
- Strong RBAC/IAM knowledge at cloud/infrastructure level; experience with application/product-level IAM or multi-tenancy is highly valuable.
- Experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines.
- Security and networking fundamentals.
- Experience as part of a support or on-call rotation.
- A strong communicator who can coach and guide application developers.
- A product mindset: think about the developer experience and build tools that genuinely improve how the team works.
- High autonomy and ownership: take responsibility for outcomes in a fast-moving team.
