Senior Platform Engineer

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

📋 Description

• Create and develop a self-service developer platform from scratch — including a software catalog, golden-path templates, and an enhanced developer portal experience utilizing Backstage.

• Establish and manage GitOps-driven continuous delivery using Argo CD or Flux CD, incorporating app-of-apps patterns, synchronization policies, and progressive rollout strategies.

• Construct and sustain automated workflow orchestration with Argo Workflows — covering CI pipelines, scheduled jobs, and event-driven automation.

• Design, operate, and scale production Kubernetes environments that support the underlying platform.

• Plan and execute saturation and load testing with k6 — creating reusable test templates and integrating them into the delivery pipeline.

• Enforce policies and manage admission control using Kyverno, which includes signed and verified container image policies.

• Develop and effectively utilize automation tools to quickly operate, manage, and scale both production and development environments.

• Innovate and implement new platform features while continually enhancing existing functionalities.

• Engage in regular customer and internal EverOps scrums.

• Offer operational support and assist with project deployments for customer environments.

⛳️ Requirements

• Over 5 years of professional experience as a Platform, Infrastructure, DevOps, CloudOps, or Site Reliability Engineer.

• Practical experience in building and customizing Backstage in a production environment — including software catalog modeling, custom plugins, software templates, and TechDocs (not limited to using an existing instance).

• Hands-on experience with Argo Workflows to orchestrate CI, batch, and event-driven automation at scale.

• Proven experience in implementing GitOps delivery using Argo CD — encompassing repository structure design, synchronization strategy, and rollout models.

• In-depth, hands-on experience with Kubernetes: you've designed, deployed, and operated production clusters alongside the services that run on them.

• Experienced in creating saturation and load tests with k6 — developing test suites and integrating them into CI, rather than executing a one-time script.

• Knowledgeable in enforcing policies with Kyverno (or similar admission controls) — including signed and verified container image enforcement.

• Strong practical experience with one or more programming languages: Golang, Python, TypeScript, Bash, Ruby, or Rust.

• Extensive hands-on experience with AWS, Google Cloud, or Azure, designing, building, and managing highly-available cloud-native environments.

• Familiarity with current best practices for Infrastructure as Code (using Terraform + Atlantis and/or CloudFormation).

• Experience in packaging and templating Kubernetes workloads with Helm and/or Kustomize.

• Proficient in containerization with Docker and Kubernetes (K8s).

• Experience with monitoring and observability tools such as Prometheus/Grafana, DataDog, Splunk, or ELK.

• Familiar with automation tools like Ansible, Packer, etc.
