Own projects end-to-end from identifying dependencies and coordinating with stakeholders to successful delivery.
Drive improvements that reduce operational overhead through automation and better platform design.
Participate in production releases and on-call rotations.
Engineers may have opportunities to move between infrastructure teams based on business needs and personal interests, allowing exposure to different technical domains over time.
Extensive experience as a Senior Platform Engineer, Infrastructure Engineer, or Site Reliability Engineer.
Strong sense of ownership and ability to work independently with minimal supervision.
Ability to identify problems, define priorities, and drive initiatives without waiting for detailed instructions.
Broad infrastructure background with experience across multiple domains rather than deep specialization in only one area.
