The Crown Is Yours

As a Platform Engineer, you'll build and evolve the infrastructure that powers high-performance software at scale. You'll design automation and deployment systems that support millions of customers across our engineering ecosystem and enable teams to move faster with reliable, scalable platforms. In a fast-paced, always-on environment, you'll collaborate with cross-functional teams to solve complex infrastructure challenges and help define the future of Platform Engineering.

What You'll Do

• Contribute to the entire software development lifecycle—from design and implementation to testing, deployment, and support. Act as first-level engineering support for the AI Platform, helping internal teams with onboarding, usage, troubleshooting, and incident resolution. Create runbooks and operational documentation to support long-term maintainability.

• Write clean, high-quality code in C# and .NET Core, following modern engineering best practices. Contribute code in C#, and where appropriate, work with Python and/or TypeScript to support AI-driven workflows and platform tooling.

• Build and maintain internal infrastructure to support scalable and efficient engineering workflows.

• Manage and scale Kubernetes-based systems and containerized applications in production environments.

• Automate deployment pipelines and infrastructure management using Git Ops practices.

• Collaborate with engineers across teams to clarify technical requirements and deliver end-to-end solutions. Work closely with both technical and non-technical stakeholders to translate platform needs into reliable implementations. Communicate complex technical concepts clearly and effectively.

• Improve reliability, observability, and performance of critical systems.

• Research, prototype, and adopt new tools that enable greater platform scalability and efficiency.

What You'll Bring

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or any suitable combination of education, experience, and training.

• At least 1 year of professional software development experience using C# and .NET Core. Additional experience with Python and/or TypeScript is a strong plus, especially for automation, integrations, or AI-related services.

• Hands-on experience managing Kubernetes and containerized applications in production environments.

• Understanding of distributed systems and microservice-based architecture.

• Familiarity with Git Ops workflows and deployment strategies such as blue-green or canary.

• Experience working with cloud platforms like Amazon Web Services or Google Cloud Platform.

• Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to troubleshoot infrastructure and application issues.

• Clear and effective communication skills that support strong collaboration across engineering teams. Excellent English communication skills, both written and verbal, with the ability to work effectively with engineers and non-engineers alike.
