About the Role

We are seeking a visionary and highly technical Staff Platform Engineer to join our EngOps team. This role is central to our next phase of growth, focusing on designing and building a robust Internal Developer Platform (IDP) that will empower engineering teams to move faster, improve reliability, and reduce friction at scale. You will position AI/LLM infrastructure as a critical, integrated component of our broader platform strategy. You will act as a foundational technical anchor for EngOps, helping shape the future architecture of this new squad and analyzing what the division needs next as we scale. If you thrive at the intersection of deep software infrastructure, operational excellence, and agentic AI, this is your mission.

Responsibilities

Design and manage high-availability, scalable infrastructure using Kubernetes and cloud-native services to support Félix's hyper-growth.
Enhance CI/CD pipelines and internal tooling to minimize developer friction, enabling seamless deployment cycles from development to production.
Implement robust observability, security standards, and cost-optimization strategies across the entire infrastructure ecosystem.
Provide technical mentorship to senior and mid-level engineers, fostering a culture of high standards, rigorous code reviews, and proactive documentation.
Define and evangelize best practices for infrastructure-as-code and platform standards across all engineering squads, ensuring consistency and long-term maintainability.
Partner with the AI/Data teams to design scalable pipelines for LLM model deployment, serving, and monitoring, ensuring our "AI-powered chatbot" remains performant and cost-effective at scale.
Own the long-term technical roadmap for the Internal Developer Platform, balancing the immediate need for speed with the management of technical debt to prevent future bottlenecks.
Collaborate directly with Product and Product Engineering leadership to align infrastructure automations with business goals, ensuring the platform is always a facilitator and enabler for fast development and experimentation.

Requirements

Deep experience deploying and customizing developer portals like Backstage or Port.io to create a seamless, self-service environment that accelerates time-to-market.
Deep expertise in Cloud Architecture (AWS/GCP), Kubernetes, Istio, Terraform, Networking, and Security alongside 10+ years of software engineering experience.
Expertise with implementing unit testing on Terraform, Helmcharts with Terratest.
Exceptional expertise in golang and deep knowledge of System Architecture.
Proven ability to drive architectural strategy, solve complex operational bottlenecks, and enable engineering teams through platform innovation.
Exceptional ability to communicate complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders (Product/Leadership) and drive consensus across engineering squads.
A documented track record of growing senior and mid-level engineers, not just via code reviews but through architectural guidance and cultural influence.
Equivalent competencies in any of the above will also be considered.
