Platform Engineer

Platform Engineers at Rubiscape build the internal developer platform that every product squad — across RubiFlow, RubiStudio, RubiSight, RubiAI, RubiThings, and Business Workbench — relies on to ship with speed and confidence. You will design golden-path templates, self-service environments, and paved-road toolchains that eliminate toil and enforce security and compliance guardrails by default. Rubiscape's platform is deployed across SaaS, BYOC, hybrid, on-premises, and air-gapped modes for Fortune 500 customers; the internal platform must accommodate all these deployment surfaces without fragmenting the developer experience. If you believe platform is a product and developers are your customers, this role is built for you.

•       Design and own the Internal Developer Platform (IDP) — including self-service environment provisioning, service catalogue templates (Backstage or equivalent), and golden-path CI/CD workflows that product squads adopt by default.

•       Architect and operate a multi-cluster, multi-cloud Kubernetes platform using EKS, AKS, and GKE; define cluster topology, node pool strategies, and upgrade runbooks.

•       Build and maintain platform-level services: secrets management (Vault), certificate management (cert-manager), service mesh (Istio or Linkerd), and internal load balancing.

•       Define infrastructure standards and enforce them via policy-as-code (OPA/Gatekeeper, Kyverno) — ensuring resource tagging, network policy, and image provenance requirements are met across all teams.

•       Own the developer toolchain: local development environment setup (Dev Containers, Tilt, Skaffold), code quality gates, and ephemeral preview environment pipelines.

•       Drive platform reliability through SLO definitions, error budgets, and automated remediation runbooks for common platform failure modes.

•       Produce developer-facing documentation and run platform office hours to accelerate squad onboarding and reduce ticket load on the platform team.

•       Experience with service mesh (Istio or Linkerd) in production multi-tenant Kubernetes clusters.

•       Contributions to open-source platform tooling or internal platform conference speaking.

•       Exposure to data/ML platform workloads — Spark Operator, Kubeflow, Ray, or MLflow on Kubernetes.

•       Knowledge of FinOps practices and experience implementing chargeback or showback for platform cost allocation.

From BI to AI — One Platform. Every Decision.

•       4+ years in platform engineering, infrastructure engineering, or a senior DevOps role with explicit platform-product ownership.

•       Deep Kubernetes expertise including multi-cluster federation, admission controllers, custom controllers/operators, and cluster API.

•       Experience designing and operating an Internal Developer Platform or developer portal — Backstage, Cortex, or equivalent.

•       Strong Terraform skills including provider plugin development or custom module library design.

•       Hands-on experience with policy-as-code tools (OPA, Gatekeeper, Kyverno) in multi-team environments.

•       Excellent written communication skills — platform engineers at Rubiscape write ADRs, runbooks, and RFC-style proposals that engineering leadership reviews.
