Platform Engineer

This is a fully remote position, open to applicants in Brazil.

📋 Description

• Design, implement, and enhance Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Flux, Helm) for provisioning and managing Kubernetes clusters across AWS, GCP, Azure, and future cloud providers.

• Develop and maintain self-service capabilities — automated provisioning pipelines, environment management, and deployment workflows — enabling engineering teams to autonomously manage their cloud resources without platform team intervention.

• Architect and manage GitOps-driven CI/CD pipelines, creating Golden Paths and standardized templates that elevate the quality baseline for all product teams.

• Drive the DevSecOps strategy for the platform, integrating compliance policies (SOC2, GDPR, customer audits) directly into automation pipelines and Kubernetes admission controls.

• Define and track SLIs/SLOs for platform-owned systems; lead incident response during significant outages and conduct blameless post-mortem analyses and subsequent actions.

• Oversee and enhance developer tooling platforms like Backstage, GitLab, Artifactory, and SonarQube, consistently improving the developer experience based on team input.

• Establish the observability framework and standards (metrics, tracing, log aggregation) across various teams, ensuring platform reliability through proactive system health monitoring.

• Create Kubernetes operators and other cloud-native automation to minimize operational toil and boost platform resilience.

• Execute disaster recovery planning, testing, and runbook documentation; design and maintain Production Readiness Reviews and operational procedures.

• Serve as a Platform Engineering Champion for domain teams during refinements and technical spikes, providing dedicated sprint capacity for platform-related projects.

• Monitor and evaluate infrastructure costs across cloud platforms; develop tools for proactive capacity planning.

⛳️ Requirements

• Minimum of 3 years of experience in Platform Engineering, DevOps, Cloud Engineering, or Site Reliability Engineering roles.

• In-depth knowledge of Kubernetes and its ecosystem (cluster lifecycle, node pools, networking, RBAC, resource optimization, operators) across at least two major cloud providers — this is a non-negotiable requirement.

• Practical experience with Infrastructure as Code tools, preferably Terraform, Flux, and Helm.

• Strong fundamentals in Linux systems administration and networking (load balancers, DNS, VPNs, firewalls, TCP/IP).

• Solid understanding of information security principles with hands-on experience applying DevSecOps practices to cloud infrastructure, including Policy-as-Code and compliance requirements (SOC2, GDPR).

• Experience in designing and managing CI/CD pipelines and GitOps workflows (GitLab CI, FluxCD, ArgoCD, or similar).

• Comprehensive observability experience with modern tooling (OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, or similar).

• Strong understanding of SRE practices: SLI/SLO definitions, error budgets, and blameless postmortems.

• Proven experience in driving incident response processes, post-incident reviews, and operational follow-up actions.

• Demonstrated capability to create and maintain production readiness documentation, runbooks, and disaster recovery procedures.

• Familiarity with Chaos Engineering principles and proactive reliability practices.

• Proven ability to develop self-service platform capabilities that reduce developer toil and eliminate ticket-driven workflows.

• Experience in managing and evolving developer tooling platforms (Backstage, GitLab, Artifactory, SonarQube, or similar).

• Customer-oriented mindset — ability to translate developer pain points into practical, adoptable platform solutions.

• Excellent communication skills in both English and Portuguese (written and verbal), with a proven ability to collaborate across cross-functional, remote-first teams.
