We are looking for an experienced Software Engineer with a strong background in Platform Engineering to build and scale our modern infrastructure. In this role, you will bridge the gap between software development and operations, designing secure, automated pipelines and infrastructure for hybrid cloud environments.

• Design, implement, and scale CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions.
• Build and maintain Infrastructure as Code (Terraform) across hybrid cloud GCP and on-prem environments.
• Design, develop, and maintain microservices and RESTful APIs that power platform capabilities and internal tooling.
• Automate deployments and manage container orchestration platforms (Kubernetes, GKE) utilizing Helm charts.
• Drive platform resilience by improving monitoring, logging, and observability using tools like Splunk.
• Champion DevSecOps by embedding security and compliance controls directly into pipelines and infrastructure.
• Participate in an on-call rotation to troubleshoot and resolve complex platform and application issues.
• Collaborate closely with engineering, operations, and security teams to improve system reliability.

Qualifications:

• 6 years in DevOps, SRE, or Platform Engineering plus a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related technical field. A combination of education and experience may meet qualifications.
• In-depth knowledge of modern cloud architectures (AWS/Azure/GCP (preferred)) and IaC (Terraform).
• Deep hands-on experience with Kubernetes, GKE, and managing deployments via Helm.
• Hands-on experience building pipelines with GitHub Actions.
• Hands-on experience building microservices and RESTful APIs (Python, Java, or similar).
• Proficient scripting skills (Bash, PowerShell) for automation and operational tasks.
• Experience in setting up and managing monitoring and logging platforms like Splunk.
• Experience working in Financial Services, HealthTech, or other highly regulated industries requiring stringent compliance, security, and data privacy.
• Familiarity with tools like Azure DevOps, Jira, and ServiceNow.
• Familiarity with security scanning/SCA tools (Checkmarx, Nexus IQ) and AI development assistants (GitHub Copilot, Claude Code) is a plus.
