Job Description
Overview:
As a Senior Platform Engineer, you will sit at the intersection of infrastructure reliability and developer experience. You will not only maintain the scalability of our Kubernetes based cloud environment but also work collaboratively on the shift toward a self-service platform model.
In this role, you will apply a software engineering mindset to infrastructure, leveraging Agentic AI to automate complex workflows and building the "Golden Paths" that eliminate manual bottlenecks. You aren't just managing clusters; you are architecting the software that manages them, ensuring our systems are resilient, cost-optimized, and inherently self-healing.
This position will be hybrid out of our Toronto office.
What You’ll Do:
- IDP Architecture & Development: Lead the design and implementation of an Internal Developer Platform that abstracts infrastructure complexity, providing developers with self-service capabilities for environment sca>olding and deployment.
- Collaborative Infrastructure: Work with the team to maintain and scale multi-region Azure/AKS environments using Terraform and ArgoCD.
- Reliability Partnership: Collaborate with application engineers to implement deep observability via Datadog and establish meaningful reliability targets (SLOs).
- AI-Driven Automation: Build Python-based AI agents and tools that reduce team "toil" and streamline common operational tasks.
- Incident Response: Participate in on-call rotations and lead collective efforts in rootcause analysis (RCA), ensuring the team learns and improves from every incident.
- Full-Lifecycle Ownership: Participate in on-call rotations and lead collective RootCause Analysis (RCA), turning every incident into a platform improvement or automated fix.
- Mentorship & Standards: Contribute to team code reviews, document best practices, and help establish standard patterns for deployment and security.
What You Have:
- Bachelor’s/Master’s degree in computer science, a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
