We're looking for a Senior Platform Engineer to own and evolve our cloud infrastructure, and help us scale it securely. You'll work across AWS, IaC, CI/CD, and security/compliance, making pragmatic decisions that balance speed, reliability, and risk.

Your Tasks
- Design, build, and maintain our AWS infrastructure (VPC, IAM, ECS/EKS, multi-account setups)
- Own infrastructure as code with Terraform: keeping it clean, scalable, and auditable
- Build and improve CI/CD pipelines and secure deployment processes
- Drive observability: logging, monitoring, and alerting across the stack
- Support ISO 27001 and SOC 2 audit readiness and ongoing compliance
- Lead incident response and contribute to reliability engineering (SRE fundamentals)
- Enable other engineering teams: remove blockers, don't create them
Qualifications And Requirements
- Strong hands-on AWS experience: VPC, IAM, ECS/EKS, networking, multi-account setups
- Solid Terraform / IaC ownership: you've built and maintained it in production
- Experience with CI/CD pipelines and secure deployment practices
- Security fundamentals: IAM, encryption, secrets management, KMS
- Exposure to ISO 27001 and/or SOC 2 (audit support at minimum)
- Observability experience: logging, monitoring, alerting at scale
- Calm under pressure, pragmatic about trade-offs, clear communicator across teams
Nice to have:
- ISO 27001 / SOC 2 ownership and certification experience
- DevSecOps tooling (SAST/DAST, SBOMs, scanning)
- Threat modeling, or continuous compliance automation.
You'll thrive here if you have an ownership mindset, know when to move fast and when to slow down, and want to build infrastructure that actually enables the business, not just maintain it.
