Senior Platform Engineer

Fanvue is the fastest-growing creator monetisation platform in the creator economy. We are the leading AI-powered creator-first platform, designed to empower creators worldwide to directly monetise their audience. We’re on a mission to redefine the creator economy by empowering creators to connect, share, and earn more efficiently.

🎯 The Role
We’re hiring a Senior Platform Engineer to strengthen and scale Fanvue’s Platform Team. This role is critical to enabling our stream-aligned teams to ship independently, safely, and at speed as the company grows from 18 to 30+ engineers.

Today, the Platform Team is lean. Losing an experienced engineer without backfill creates real risk across reliability, developer experience, and delivery velocity. This role exists to reduce those risks, distribute platform knowledge, and build the infrastructure foundations that let every other engineering team move faster.

You’ll work on core platform primitives, infrastructure automation, CI/CD, and database architecture, acting as an enabler rather than a bottleneck.

🚀 What You’ll Do

• Build and evolve the infrastructure foundations that support Fanvue’s move toward a service-oriented architecture

• Enable stream teams to deploy and operate services independently using platform-provided tooling and patterns

• Design and maintain AWS infrastructure using AWS CDK (TypeScript), with a strong focus on safety, reuse, and automation

• Own and improve CI/CD pipelines, ensuring fast, reliable, and repeatable deployments

• Support database architecture evolution, including Aurora PostgreSQL ServerlessV2, service-specific data stores, and scaling strategies

• Build internal platform tools and automation to reduce operational toil and improve developer experience

• Improve observability and reliability through CloudWatch dashboards, alarms, and SLIs/SLOs

• Participate in on-call rotation, lead incident response when needed, and contribute to high-quality post-mortems

• Act as a consultative partner to stream teams, helping them make good infrastructure decisions without slowing them down

• Contribute to documentation, runbooks, and knowledge sharing to eliminate single points of failure

👀 Who You Are

• A senior engineer with strong experience building and operating AWS infrastructure in production

• Deeply hands-on with AWS CDK (TypeScript) and comfortable treating infrastructure as code

• Experienced with PostgreSQL, ideally Aurora/RDS, including performance tuning, replication, and scaling considerations

• Familiar with service-oriented architectures or microservices and the infrastructure patterns that support them

• Comfortable owning CI/CD pipelines and improving deployment reliability and safety

• Platform-minded and consultative, focused on enabling other teams rather than gatekeeping

• Proactive, autonomous, and aligned with Fanvue’s values of ownership, speed, and excellence

• Someone who enjoys reducing friction, eliminating toil, and making other engineers more effective

Nice-to-haves

• Experience supporting teams through platform or re-architecture initiatives

• Familiarity with ECS Fargate–based workloads

• Prior exposure to internal developer platforms or self-service tooling

✨ You’ll Thrive Here If

• You enjoy building foundations that others build on

• You care deeply about developer experience and system reliability

• You like solving complex infrastructure problems pragmatically

• You’re motivated by enabling teams to move faster without sacrificing quality

⚠️ You’ll Struggle Here If

• You prefer working only on product features rather than platform foundations

• You’re uncomfortable owning shared infrastructure

• You prefer rigid processes over iterative improvement
