Senior Platform & Site Reliability Engineer

What You Will Own

Platform Architecture

Full architectural ownership of the non-AWS toolchain: CI/CD, observability, event streaming, automation, secrets, and deployment infrastructure

Define, build, and enforce platform standards across portfolio products

Terraform IaC for all infrastructure — nothing provisioned manually, everything versioned and reviewed

Self-service developer platform so product teams ship without waiting on platform

Event Streaming & Pipeline Infrastructure

Own the event streaming architecture, operational standards, and health monitoring across all products using real-time pipelines

Design and maintain batch processing infrastructure alongside live event flows

Ensure pipeline reliability, throughput, and cost are actively managed at scale

CI/CD & Deployment

Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions) across all portfolio products

Automate triage and retry logic for known failure classes — flaky tests, dependency timeouts, OOM kills — so engineers are only paged for genuinely novel failures

Deployment standards

release management, rollback mechanisms, canary and blue-green patterns where justified

Observability & Reliability

Own the full observability stack: Grafana, Prometheus, and Loki across all products

SLOs and error budgets defined per product; reliability tracked consistently

Build alerting that correlates signals and surfaces diagnostic context alongside notifications — so on-call engineers arrive at an incident with hypotheses, not a blank screen

Incident response

on-call design, escalation playbooks, post-mortem facilitation

Automated remediation scoped to a defined set of safe, idempotent actions — container restarts, ECS task scaling, known rollback patterns. Novel or ambiguous failures escalate to a human with full context attached

Acquisition Onboarding

Platform audit and gap analysis for every new acquisition — assessing CI/CD maturity, IaC coverage, observability gaps, and security posture

Migration plan and execution for each portfolio company joining the platform.

Target

full platform integration within a defined window per acquisition

What We're Looking For

Experience & Background

8–12 years in platform engineering, DevOps, or SRE — with clear evidence of increasing ownership over time

Strong Terraform depth across multi-environment, multi-account setups

CI/CD ownership across a multi-product environment with GitHub Actions

Experience with event streaming infrastructure at production scale — design, operations, reliability, and cost management

Hands-on Grafana, Prometheus, and Loki in production

AWS operational depth

ECS, EKS, RDS, IAM, VPC, CloudWatch, Cost Explorer

SRE fundamentals

SLOs, error budgets, on-call design, post-mortem culture

Acquisition or greenfield platform integration experience strongly preferred
