The Crown Is Yours
As a Platform Engineer, you'll build and evolve the infrastructure that powers high-performance software at scale. You'll design automation and deployment systems that support millions of customers across our engineering ecosystem and enable teams to move faster with reliable, scalable platforms. In a fast-paced, always-on environment, you'll collaborate with cross-functional teams to solve complex infrastructure challenges and help define the future of Platform Engineering.
What You'll Do
- Contribute to the entire software development lifecycle-from design and implementation to testing, deployment, and support. Act as first-level engineering support for the AI Platform, helping internal teams with onboarding, usage, troubleshooting, and incident resolution. Create runbooks and operational documentation to support long-term maintainability.
- Write clean, high-quality code in C# and .NET Core, following modern engineering best practices. Contribute code in C#, and where appropriate, work with Python and/or TypeScript to support AI-driven workflows and platform tooling.
- Build and maintain internal infrastructure to support scalable and efficient engineering workflows.
- Manage and scale Kubernetes-based systems and containerized applications in production environments.
- Automate deployment pipelines and infrastructure management using GitOps practices.

- Improve reliability, observability, and performance of critical systems.
- Research, prototype, and adopt new tools that enable greater platform scalability and efficiency.
What You'll Bring
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or any suitable combination of education, experience, and training.
- At least 1 year of professional software development experience using C# and .NET Core. Additional experience with Python and/or TypeScript is a strong plus, especially for automation, integrations, or AI-related services.
- Hands-on experience managing Kubernetes and containerized applications in production environments.
- Understanding of distributed systems and microservice-based architecture.
- Familiarity with GitOps workflows and deployment strategies such as blue-green or canary.
- Experience working with cloud platforms like Amazon Web Services or Google Cloud Platform.
- Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to troubleshoot infrastructure and application issues.
