Platform Engineer

Deine Rolle im Team

Unsere Erwartungen an dich

Qualifikationen

• Understand distributed systems deeply enough to know what managed platforms are doing under the hood, and where their abstractions will break.
• Prefer to automate yourself out of toil rather than accept it.
• Want to lay the foundation at a company where infrastructure decisions directly shape the product.
• Strong understanding of distributed systems: concurrency, eventual consistency, event-driven architectures, and failure modes. You have the mental models even if you've implemented them with modern serverless tools rather than raw AWS primitives.
• Familiarity with workflow orchestration tools like Inngest, Temporal, or Step Functions, and the queueing and retry semantics underneath them.
• Strong observability practice, ideally Datadog, including distributed tracing, custom metrics, and SLO-based alerting.
• Enough AWS fluency (ECS, Lambda, SQS, IAM) to know what you'd reach for when the managed tools hit their limits.
• High-agency mindset and comfort operating independently in a fast-changing environment.

Erfahrung

• Have experience owning infrastructure end-to-end at a startup, where you picked the tools and lived with the consequences.
• Care about developer experience: deployment pipelines, local dev setups, error messages, and the small things that compound into engineering velocity.
• Experience with CI/CD design: multi-environment pipelines, automated testing gates, preview deployments, infrastructure-as-code.
• Hands-on experience with platforms like Vercel, and an honest sense of where they scale and where they don't.
• MongoDB experience: schema design tradeoffs, indexing strategy, and performance tuning as data and query patterns evolve.
