Senior Cloud Platform Engineer at Jobgether – United States

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

This role sits at the heart of a global cloud platform organization responsible for building and scaling the infrastructure that powers large-scale, location-based services used by millions of developers worldwide. You will design and maintain cloud-native systems in AWS, enabling reliable, secure, and cost-efficient operations across a highly distributed engineering ecosystem. The position blends deep infrastructure engineering with platform strategy, supporting CI/CD, observability, and infrastructure-as-code frameworks. You will play a key role in modernizing deployment pipelines and advancing Kubernetes-based architectures using GitOps principles. Working across regions and time zones, you will collaborate closely with product and engineering teams to ensure platform services are robust, scalable, and developer-friendly. This is a highly technical, high-impact role where your decisions directly shape how hundreds of engineers build, test, and deploy software at scale. You will also contribute to a culture of operational excellence, transparency, and continuous improvement.

• Design, build, and maintain cloud infrastructure using Infrastructure-as-Code tools such as Terraform and Terragrunt, ensuring scalable, secure, and cost-efficient AWS environments.
• Support and modernize legacy infrastructure built with CloudFormation and CDK, including services such as ECS, Lambda, and EMR.
• Architect and promote Kubernetes-based deployments using EKS and GitOps practices with tools such as ArgoCD.
• Lead migration of deployment pipelines from legacy systems to modern CI/CD frameworks using GitHub Actions and related tooling.
• Develop and maintain centralized CI/CD platforms and reusable deployment frameworks supporting large-scale engineering teams.
• Implement and enhance observability solutions using tools such as Datadog or CloudWatch for monitoring, alerting, and system analytics.
• Contribute to SRE practices, including incident response, on-call support, blameless post-mortems, and reliability improvements.
• Collaborate across engineering teams to influence AWS architecture decisions and promote best practices in scalability, security, and performance.
• Document systems, architectural decisions, and processes while actively participating in knowledge sharing and technical discussions.

• 5+ years of experience with Infrastructure-as-Code tools such as Terraform, Terragrunt, Atlantis, or CDK in AWS environments.
• 4+ years of experience working with containerized workloads using Kubernetes (EKS) and/or ECS at scale.
• 4+ years of experience building or managing CI/CD systems in distributed engineering environments, ideally using GitHub Actions.
• Strong expertise in Kubernetes and GitOps tooling such as ArgoCD; experience with service mesh tools (e.g., Istio) is a plus.
• Deep knowledge of AWS services including EC2, ECS, EKS, Lambda, Fargate, IAM, Route53, CloudFront, and DynamoDB.
• Proficiency in at least one programming language such as Python, Go, or Node.js.
• Experience implementing observability and monitoring systems using tools like Datadog, CloudWatch, or similar platforms.
• Strong background in incident response practices, including on-call operations and post-incident reviews.
• Ability to work independently in distributed teams, make technical decisions, and communicate clearly across stakeholders.
• Strong documentation, collaboration, and knowledge-sharing mindset with a focus on mentorship and continuous learning.

• Competitive base salary aligned with market benchmarks and location
• Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance coverage
• Flexible work arrangements with remote-friendly culture
• Generous parental leave and family support policies
• Focus on learning and professional development opportunities
• Inclusive and diverse global engineering culture
• Supportive environment emphasizing work-life balance and flexibility
• Opportunity to work on large-scale, high-impact cloud infrastructure systems
