This position is posted by Jobgether on behalf of a partner company. We are currently looking for a Staff Platform Engineer in the United States.

This role sits at the core of a high-scale, cloud-native infrastructure powering real-time streaming and advertising systems used across global audiences. You will define and evolve the platform layer that enables multiple engineering teams to deploy, scale, and operate high-throughput, low-latency services. The environment is highly technical and reliability-driven, with a strong emphasis on automation, observability, and performance optimization. You will act as a senior technical leader shaping infrastructure standards, Kubernetes-based architectures, and GitOps practices. The role blends hands-on systems engineering with strategic platform design and cross-team influence. You will also play a key role in incident response, reliability engineering, and mentoring other engineers to raise operational excellence across the organization.

Accountabilities:

Define, architect, and evolve cloud-native platform infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code (Terraform or CDK)
Design and implement scalable Kubernetes (EKS) environments with GitOps-driven deployment workflows
Improve platform reliability, scalability, and cost efficiency through metrics-driven automation and autoscaling strategies
Build and maintain observability systems using monitoring, logging, and distributed tracing tools such as Prometheus and Grafana
Define and drive SLOs, capacity planning, and reliability standards across engineering teams
Lead production incident response efforts, root-cause analysis, and blameless postmortems
Design and optimize CI/CD pipelines enabling safe, fast, and reliable deployments
Champion automation, platform standardization, and low-ops engineering practices
Collaborate with application teams to support high-performance streaming and ad-serving systems at scale
Mentor engineers and contribute to a strong engineering culture focused on reliability and excellence

Requirements:

Extensive experience in platform engineering, SRE, or DevOps roles supporting distributed systems in production
Strong expertise in cloud-native architecture, particularly AWS and Kubernetes (EKS preferred)
Proficiency in systems programming languages such as Go, Python, or TypeScript for infrastructure automation
Deep experience with Infrastructure as Code tools (Terraform, CDK) and GitOps methodologies
Strong understanding of CI/CD systems and deployment pipelines (e.g., GitHub Actions, CodePipeline)
Experience building and operating observability stacks including metrics, logging, and tracing systems
Background in high-throughput or low-latency systems such as streaming, ad-tech, or event-driven architectures
Strong knowledge of cloud security principles including IAM, encryption, and network segmentation
Proven ability to analyze and optimize system performance, reliability, and cost efficiency
Experience mentoring engineers and influencing technical direction across teams

Benefits:

Competitive salary with equity package
Fully remote work environment within the United States
Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance (often fully covered for employees)
401(k) retirement plan with company matching
Flexible time off policy plus paid holidays
Paid parental leave and family support programs
Home office stipend to support remote setup
Wellness benefits including mental and physical health subscriptions
Career growth opportunities in a high-scale, modern infrastructure environment
