Position Overview
We're seeking a Infrastructure Platform Engineer to lead the design and evolution of our internal developer platform. You'll focus on making infrastructure self-service and invisible - abstracting away AWS, Kubernetes, and Terraform through tools and workflows that empower developers to deliver software without needing to become cloud experts.

You'll be our subject matter expert on AWS EKS and infrastructure automation, working across engineering teams to define platform standards, build extensible tooling, and own the developer experience from infrastructure request to production deployment.

This is a high-impact, senior role for a hands-on engineer who thinks strategically, builds with empathy, and drives platform initiatives across the company.

Our developers should spend their time shipping features - not wrestling with YAML, Terraform, or AWS IAM. As a Infrastructure Platform Engineer, you'll lead the effort to make infrastructure easy, scalable, and safe for every engineering team, unlocking productivity and accelerating product delivery.
