About the Role

As a Senior Platform Engineer, you will lead the creation of internal tools and services that empower engineering teams to build and deploy software more efficiently. Your work will center on enhancing the developer experience through intelligent automation, robust platform infrastructure, and seamless integration across development environments.

What You'll Do

  • Design and implement developer-centric tools that simplify coding, testing, and deployment workflows
  • Optimize continuous integration and delivery pipelines for speed, reliability, and scalability
  • Integrate platform capabilities with IDEs and development frameworks to reduce context switching
  • Build and maintain AI-powered systems that support code generation, test automation, and documentation
  • Identify and eliminate friction in engineering processes to improve productivity
  • Develop and operate production-grade AI infrastructure with strong observability and safety controls
  • Provide technical mentorship through code reviews, design collaboration, and problem-solving sessions
  • Establish best practices for tooling, local development setups, and platform adoption across teams

What We're Looking For

You bring a strong foundation in backend development using object-oriented languages like C# or Java, with proven experience building and maintaining scalable systems. You’ve worked extensively with CI/CD pipelines and have applied AI or automation to improve software engineering workflows. You’re skilled at diagnosing system challenges and delivering maintainable, well-documented solutions. Your approach combines technical depth with a collaborative mindset, and you’re comfortable guiding peers and junior engineers toward higher engineering standards. Hands-on experience with developer tooling, platform engineering, or internal infrastructure projects is essential. You thrive in innovation-driven environments where emerging technologies shape the roadmap.
