About the role
We're looking for a coding-strong Platform Engineer Lead who can build internal platform capabilities (tooling/services/standards) and also drive reliability practices (telemetry, alert hygiene, incident readiness). You'll collaborate with client engineering teams, review/shape technical designs (RFCs), mentor engineers, and deliver platform outcomes that improve developer velocity and operational confidence. Responsibilities Build and evolve internal infrastructure platforms that improve developer experience and delivery flow. Drive observability/telemetry practices (e. g., Prometheus/OpenTelemetry) and enable adoption patterns across services. Improve incident management maturity: drills, response loops, learning loops, and alerting hygiene. Review and influence technical designs/RFCs with reliability, operability, and scalability thinking. Work across cloud-native ecosystems (Kubernetes/Nomad, etc. ) depending on project needs. Mentor engineers through pairing/mob sessions; contribute to strong engineering practices and documentation. Requirements Strong software engineering foundation: you've built platform tooling/services in code (not only pipelines/IaC). Experience building/operating reliable platforms or systems at a meaningful scale. Strong grasp of observability (Prometheus / OpenTelemetry) and practical instrumentation patterns. Experience with incident response, drills, and improving alert quality and infrastructure. Cloud and infrastructure networking, Linux, networking, and exposure to orchestration environments. IaC experience with Pulumi/CloudFormation/CDK. CloudFormation communication and writing (design notes, runbooks, platform docs). This job was posted by Lavanya Priyadarshini from MVPRockets.
