What is the INFOPS Platform Engineering Team and why join? 

The INFOPS Application Development team focuses on enabling developers at scale. We build and evolve internal platforms, automation, and self-service capabilities that allow application teams to deploy and operate software safely and efficiently.

Our work emphasizes:

• Platform Engineering best practices
• Kubernetes and OpenShift-based platforms
• GitOps-driven CI/CD automation
• Shared data and messaging platforms (MongoDB, PostgreSQL, RabbitMQ, etc.)
• AI-assisted and automation-driven engineering workflows

As the organization matures, we are evolving toward a model that blends Platform Engineering with Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) to ensure our platforms are not only scalable—but also highly reliable and resilient.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Improve platform availability, latency, and scalability across Kubernetes and supporting services, establishing and evolving reliability standards across shared platform capabilities, and measuring outage impact as a health signal to track progress in preventing, detecting, and recovering from failures
• Design and implement monitoring, alerting, and observability frameworks across platform services, standardizing telemetry (metrics, logs, traces) for consistent visibility across environments, and proactively identifying risks and performance bottlenecks before they impact users
• Lead triage and resolution of platform-related incidents, driving root cause analysis, long-term fixes, and blameless postmortem practices
• Collaborate with Support Engineers on the incident queue to surface recurring failure patterns, develop long-term remediation plans, reduce operational toil through automation, and drive sustainable resolution of systemic issues
• Design and build automation to reduce manual intervention, improve incident response and recovery time, and enable self-healing platform behaviors; develop reusable tools, runbooks, and operational patterns that scale across teams
• Collaborate with INFOPS Engineering and the Support Automation team to hand off support work where appropriate
• Partner with internal customers, application teams, and platform/DevOps engineering functions to deliver scalable, repeatable solutions, address shared reliability challenges, and promote a culture of operational excellence and continuous improvement
