What are the responsibilities and job description for the Senior SRE - Leading Online Retailer position at Andiamo?
Staff Platform Engineer, Cloud Infrastructure & Developer Experience
We are looking for an experienced Staff Platform Engineer to help shape and scale a modern cloud platform powering high impact software teams. This role is built for someone who thrives in a broad technical scope, enjoys solving complex infrastructure challenges, and is passionate about creating an exceptional developer experience.
About The Opportunity
This is a key role on a small but rapidly growing Platform Engineering team. Currently led by a Staff Engineer and reporting directly to the Director of Platform Engineering, the team is expected to expand significantly over the next year. You will have meaningful ownership, strong influence over technical direction, and the chance to work across reliability, automation, and cloud infrastructure at scale.
The ideal candidate brings a strong software engineering foundation, deep AWS expertise, and hands on experience building Kubernetes based platforms with Infrastructure as Code. This is not a traditional systems administrator position. We are seeking someone who codes, builds, and leads.
What You Will Do
This role is ideal for someone who enjoys being a technical generalist with a wide scope of responsibility. You will help build foundational systems that empower engineering teams, improve delivery velocity, and ensure reliability across the organization. If you enjoy owning problems end to end and working in a highly collaborative culture, this opportunity offers a rare chance to make a major impact early in a growing platform function.
