Senior Platform Engineer
- Cority
- Remote USA
Job Description
You'll be a technical owner of our platform function; designing systems, eliminating friction for developers, and raising the bar on how we deliver software. This means leading with code and with conviction: you'll push back when something is wrong, drive decisions to closure, and make things meaningfully better. You won't be handed a roadmap. You'll help build one.
What You'll Own:
- Core platform services and self-service tooling that developers want to use
- CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure-as-code that are fast, reliable, and well-understood across teams
- Observability and telemetry - not just dashboards, but genuine operational insight into workloads and infrastructure
- Cloud infrastructure across AWS/GCP: reliability, security, cost - you'll have a strong opinion on all three
- Service catalog and developer portal work, making tooling discoverable and self-service
- A meaningful voice in platform strategy and roadmap prioritization
What You Bring:
- 10+ years in software engineering, DevOps, or platform engineering - primarily at fast-moving SaaS companies
- Deep hands-on experience with AWS and/or GCP, and container orchestration at scale
- Strong IaC fluency - Pulumi, Terraform, or comparable
- CI/CD expertise, especially GitLab
- Python scripting
- Experience with Backstage, SonarQube, LaunchDarkly, or similar platform tooling
- Hands-on work with microservice architectures — development and support, not just observation
- Communication skills that translate technical trade-offs clearly across an engineering org
