About the Role

The Platform Site Reliability Engineer is responsible for designing, scaling, and maintaining cloud infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, and production systems that support reliable software delivery. This individual contributor position focuses on infrastructure automation, platform reliability, system performance, security, scalability, and operational excellence. Key responsibilities include improving deployment processes, reducing operational overhead, strengthening production availability, and establishing consistent engineering standards.

This role combines Site Reliability Engineering (SRE), DevOps, and platform engineering practices, including infrastructure as code, deployment automation, observability, incident management, and cloud operations. The position works closely with Engineering, Product, QA, and Security teams to improve developer experience, establish standardized deployment workflows, develop recommended engineering practices, and influence the adoption of reliable infrastructure and operational standards across engineering teams.

What You’ll Do

Infrastructure & Platform Engineering

• Design, implement, maintain, and optimize scalable, secure, highly available cloud infrastructure supporting production applications and services.
• Build and manage infrastructure-as-code (IaC) solutions to enable consistent, repeatable, and reliable infrastructure provisioning and deployments.
• Continuously improve platform reliability, resiliency, scalability, availability, and system performance.
• Partner with software engineering teams to incorporate reliability, observability, and operational requirements into service design and production operations.
• Support disaster recovery, backup strategies, business continuity planning, and infrastructure recovery initiatives.

DevOps & Automation

• Design, build, implement, and maintain CI/CD pipelines that support automated, efficient, and reliable software delivery.
• Develop automation solutions that reduce manual operational tasks and improve deployment consistency across environments.
• Optimize development workflows, deployment processes, and engineering productivity while reducing operational overhead.
• Improve release management practices, deployment strategies, and software delivery processes.
• Promote DevOps best practices, infrastructure automation, and standardized engineering workflows across development teams.

Reliability & Operations

• Monitor production systems to identify performance issues, reliability risks, and opportunities to improve system availability.
• Investigate and troubleshoot production incidents, perform root cause analysis, and contribute to post-incident reviews and corrective actions.
• Develop, implement, and maintain monitoring, alerting, logging, and observability solutions for cloud infrastructure and production services.
• Help establish and monitor service-level objectives (SLOs), service-level indicators (SLIs), and reliability metrics.
• Participate in on-call rotations and assist with critical production incidents when required.

Security & Compliance

• Collaborate with Security and Engineering teams to implement and maintain secure cloud infrastructure and platform operations.
• Support vulnerability remediation, infrastructure patch management, access controls, and security monitoring.
• Assist with compliance initiatives, infrastructure security controls, and operational governance requirements.
• Apply security, privacy, and operational best practices to infrastructure and production systems.

Collaboration & Continuous Improvement

• Work with Engineering, Product, QA, and Security teams to support infrastructure, platform engineering, and operational improvement initiatives.
• Create and maintain documentation covering cloud infrastructure, operational procedures, deployment workflows, and technical standards.
• Identify opportunities to improve system reliability, infrastructure efficiency, developer exp…
