We’re looking for a Senior Platform Engineer to join our Platform Team to help shape the future of our delivery platform.
This is more than just “keeping the lights on.” You’ll be a trusted partner across engineering, product, and security — helping us automate, architect, and scale in ways that empower our teams and our customers. If you thrive in a startup environment where your work has an immediate impact, we’d love to meet you.
Our ideal candidate will be located in Europe or Canada.

What You Bring:
5+ years of experience in DevOps, Site Reliability Engineering, or related roles
Strong expertise with AWS and Kubernetes in production environments
Experience with infrastructure as code, automation, and CI/CD pipelines
A security-first mindset when designing and operating cloud systems
Familiarity with solution architecture and enabling development teams through scalable systems
Familiarity with build tools such as Bazel
A collaborative, curious, and problem-solving approach — you enjoy working closely with others to unlock better outcomes
What Does Success Look Like in this Role:
Ultimately, success is measured by the seamless deployment of features, high system availability, and the ongoing optimization of our DevOps processes to support the company’s growth and strategic goals.
What You Can Expect from our Interview Process:
You will start with an introductory screening interview conducted by one our our People & Culture team members. Here we are looking to make sure you meet the requirements for the role and will align well with our team’s principles and values.
You will meet with a member of our technical team for a Technical panel to assess your skills and determine what level you align to in our career path.
You will have a conversation with two members of our international team who will be closely aligned with this role.
