Job Description
Develop and own key parts of Phaidra's internal developer platform including GitOps workflows and cloud-native foundations. Focus on operational excellence and collaboration across the team.
Responsibilities:
- Own the delivery of a scoped set of developer platform capabilities end-to-end (design, implementation, rollout, iteration).
- Build and evolve paved roads (golden paths, service templates, scaffolding) that make it easy to deploy, operate, and scale services.
- Run tight feedback loops with engineers across product and ML teams; measure adoption and eliminate common friction points.
- Drive improvements to GitOps workflows via ArgoCD and Terraform automation via Atlantis.
- Harden CI/CD on GitLab CI, including pipeline performance, safety, and developer ergonomics.
- Design progressive delivery patterns (canary, blue/green) as reusable platform primitives.
- Contribute to SLI/SLO frameworks and shared observability primitives (Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, Tempo, OpenTelemetry).
- Participate in the platform team's on-call rotation; reduce toil through automation and better system design.
- Improve incident response and postmortem practice so learnings translate into systemic fixes.
- Embed secure-by-default patterns into platform templates (secrets, IAM, RBAC, NetworkPolicies).
- Partner with security on compliance posture (SOC 2, ISO 27001) without slowing delivery.
- Partner with infrastructure/SRE owners on Kubernetes and core cloud foundations (networking, storage, cluster/platform primitives) where it directly improves developer workflows.
- Evolve cloud-native abstractions so the platform remains portable and resilient as our footprint grows (GCP today, with future optionality across providers).
Requirements:
- 5+ years of professional experience in platform engineering, infrastructure engineering, or SRE
- Production experience operating in at least one major cloud (GCP, AWS, or Azure)
- GitOps fluency with production experience (ArgoCD, Flux, or equivalent), including rollout, drift detection, and recovery patterns
- Experience building or operating key components of an internal developer platform (e.g., self-service deployment/operations workflows, golden paths/service templates, developer portals, platform APIs, or developer tooling)
- Infrastructure-as-code experience: Terraform plus a configuration system (Kapitan, Helm, Kustomize, or similar)
- Software engineering experience in a major high level language. Comfortable writing libraries, CLIs or APIs.
- Demonstrated ability to lead technical initiatives across multiple teams.
Benefits:
- Fast-paced, team-oriented environment where your work directly shapes the company’s direction.
- We are a 100% remote company.
- Competitive compensation & meaningful equity.
- Outsized responsibilities & professional development.
- Training is foundational; functional, customer immersion, and development training.
- Medical, dental, and vision insurance (exact benefits vary by region).
- Unlimited paid time off, with a required minimum of 20 days per year.
- Paid parental leave (exact benefits vary by region).
- Flexible stipends to support your workspace, well-being, and continued professional development.
- Company MacBook.
