About the Role
We are seeking an experienced Platform Engineer to design, build, and operate internal platforms that enable engineering teams to deliver software faster, more securely, and with greater confidence. This role sits at the core of the Thales CDI Cloud Center of Excellence (CCoE) and is responsible for creating high-quality paved roads across cloud, compute, network, CI/CD, and developer tooling. The ideal candidate combines deep infrastructure knowledge with a software engineering mindset, understanding that platform engineering is a product for developers.
Responsibilities
- Design and build internal platform capabilities that reduce cognitive load for application teams and improve developer productivity.
- Treat infrastructure as a product, focusing on usability, consistency, reliability, and developer experience.
- Create self-service workflows, templates, and reusable components that standardize how teams consume platform services.
- Develop automation for cloud foundations, CI/CD, secrets management, container platforms, and network services.
- Build and maintain reusable platform tooling for provisioning, configuration, deployment, and operational tasks.
- Eliminate manual operational work through automation and policy-driven controls.
- Support production-grade Kubernetes and multi-cloud landing zones across AWS, GCP, and Azure.
- Contribute to scalable platform patterns for compute, networking, identity, access, and workload deployment.
- Ensure platform components are secure, resilient, and designed for enterprise scale.
- Partner with product engineering teams to understand pain points and deliver practical platform solutions.
- Provide clear documentation, reference architectures, and golden paths for common engineering workflows.
- Improve the developer experience by reducing friction in build, test, deploy, and operate cycles.
- Build observability into platform services and ensure they are measurable, supportable, and trustworthy.
- Participate in incident response, root cause analysis, and continuous improvement efforts.
- Define and support operational standards that improve reliability, maintainability, and service quality.
- Collaborate with SRE, Security, Product Owners, and Engineering teams to align platform capabilities with business and technical needs.
- Influence platform strategy through strong technical judgment and clear communication.
- Identify systemic bottlenecks and propose scalable solutions before they impact delivery.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field; equivalent professional experience accepted.
- 8+ years of experience in Platform Engineering, DevOps, SRE, Infrastructure Engineering, or a related discipline.
- Proven experience building internal platforms, automation frameworks, or developer tooling in a production environment.
- Experience working in multi-cloud and/or enterprise-scale infrastructure environments.
- Strong experience with Kubernetes, containerized workloads, and cloud-native architectures.
- Hands-on knowledge of AWS, GCP, and/or Azure.
- Experience with CI/CD pipelines, Git-based workflows, and deployment automation.
- Familiarity with secrets management, artifact management, and infrastructure provisioning tools.
- Strong scripting or programming skills for automation and platform development.
- Understanding of observability, reliability, and operational readiness practices.
- Product mindset: able to think like a platform user and design with developer experience in mind.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills.
- Able to translate complex infrastructure topics into simple, actionable guidance.
- Comfortable working autonomously in a distributed, collaborative environment.
- Strong ownership, curiosity, and a bias toward simplification and automation.
- Applicants must be legally authorized to work in the United States for any employer at the time of hire.
- This position is not eligible for visa sponsorship or for assuming sponsorship of an employment visa now or in the future.
