Platform Engineer - TravelTech - Series B

About the Company
We've partnered with an industry-leading travel company that recently closed a $25M Series B. Based in NYC and growing fast, they're scaling their engineering function to match their ambition and platform engineering is central to how they get there.
About the Role
Do you want to build something that directly shapes how engineers work every day? Do you thrive at the intersection of backend engineering, infrastructure, and reliability? If so, we'd love to talk.
You'll work alongside the Platform Lead to design and build a developer platform that meaningfully improves developer experience and productivity. This role is genuinely varied, you'll have ownership across software development, security, observability, migrations, and more. No two weeks look the same.
The stack includes AWS, Kubernetes, Docker, GitHub Actions, Terraform, Datadog, Ruby on Rails, Node.js, Postgres, and MongoDB. You don't need to know all of it - a strong engineering foundation and the drive to upskill matter far more.
