About the role

Aplyr's Quick Take

This role is for a Senior Platform Engineer focused on improving developer experience by creating tools and workflows on top of AWS and Kubernetes. You'll work closely with DevOps and Cloud Security teams but will primarily be responsible for the usability and reliability of the platform that other engineers use daily.

Good fit

Ideal candidates have significant experience in platform engineering or DevOps, with a strong focus on developer experience and tooling. A collaborative mindset and ability to drive cross-team initiatives will help you thrive here.

Worth noting

This position is a founding role in the platform function, meaning you'll have a significant impact on shaping the technical vision. The company is also backed by notable climate-tech investors, which may appeal to those interested in sustainability.

Role Description

As Gridware grows, the number of services, environments, and engineers grows with it. We need a senior engineer who treats developer experience as a product — designing paved paths, golden templates, and self-service tooling on top of our AWS / Kubernetes / Argo CD foundation so that teams can focus on the grid, not on YAML.

You will sit alongside our DevOps and Cloud Security engineers. While they own the underlying cloud infrastructure and security posture, you will own the layer above: the workflows, abstractions, and tooling that engineers interact with every day. As a founding member of the platform function, you’ll shape the technical vision, drive cross-team adoption, and measure success by how invisible (and reliable) the platform feels to the rest of engineering.
