We’re hiring a Staff / Principal Platform Engineer to provide deep technical leadership across a modern cloud-native platform within a scaling SaaS / fintech environment.
This is a highly hands‑on senior engineering role focused on platform architecture, Kubernetes, GitOps, cloud security, reliability and engineering standards. While not a people‑management position, the role carries significant technical influence across platform direction, architecture and operational maturity.
You’ll work closely with senior engineering leadership to evolve and harden a production‑grade AWS platform supporting secure, scalable and repeatable customer environments.
Key responsibilities
- Driving technical direction across AWS, Kubernetes/EKS and GitOps infrastructure
- Reviewing and improving platform architecture, resiliency and operational readiness
- Defining engineering standards across infrastructure, CI/CD, observability and security
- Leading best practices around Terraform, Argo CD, deployment automation and platform operations
- Supporting secure multi‑environment and SaaS deployment models
- Improving platform reliability, monitoring, disaster recovery and production hardening
- Mentoring engineers through design reviews, code reviews and technical guidance
Qualifications
- Deep AWS and Kubernetes platform engineering experience
- Strong background operating cloud‑native production environments
- Expertise in infrastructure as code and GitOps practices
- Strong understanding of cloud security, IAM, networking and resilience
- Experience mentoring engineers and driving engineering standards
- Ability to make pragmatic technical decisions in fast‑moving environments
- Experience within fintech, regulated SaaS, payments or financial services environments would be highly beneficial
AWS | Kubernetes / EKS | Terraform | Argo CD | GitOps | Helm | CI/CD | Observability | Cloud Security
