Platform Engineer Developer

Summary:

We're looking for a Platform Engineer to help design and evolve our Internal Developer Platform (IDP) connecting developers, tools, and infrastructure into a cohesive experience.

You'll work across development and infrastructure teams to integrate systems, improve workflows, and enable developer self-service using modern platform engineering practices.

This role is ideal for someone who has a strong understanding of Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and Azure, but is focused on integrating, automating, and building the developer experience layer rather than managing infrastructure directly.

Responsibilities:

Design and build integrations between internal developer tools, CI/CD pipelines, and cloud infrastructure.

Design, implement, and manage platform tooling and integrations to improve automation, developer self-service, and the overall developer experience.

Collaborate closely with the Cloud Infrastructure team understand their IaC and Azure implementations to connect platform systems seamlessly.

Develop automation and orchestration logic (e.g., workflows, APIs, event-driven processes) to unify provisioning, deployments, and environment management.

Enhance CI/CD pipelines (Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions) to support consistent and automated delivery patterns.

Work with engineering teams to define "golden paths and reusable service templates that promote consistency and speed.

Contribute to developer experience (DX) initiatives, ensuring the platform supports efficient onboarding, observability, and security guardrails.

Collaborate cross-functionally with SRE, Cloud, and Software teams to evolve the internal platform as a product.

Requirements:

5+ years of experience in Platform Engineering, DevOps, or Software Engineering roles.

Strong understanding of Infrastructure as Code (IaC) principles (Terraform, Pulumi, Bicep, etc.) and how to integrate with them.

Hands-on experience with at least one IDP or platform orchestration tool e.g., Port, Humanitec, Backstage, or Spacelift.

Solid understanding of CI/CD systems such as Azure DevOps and GitHub Actions.

Working knowledge of Azure architecture and services (e.g., AKS, ACR, App Services, networking, RBAC) sufficient to integrate platform tools with infrastructure.

Proficiency in at least one programming or scripting language (Python, TypeScript, Go, or similar).

Strong collaboration and communication skills able to work with both developers and infrastructure engineers.

Nice-to-Have:

Experience developing Backstage plugins or Port integrations.

Familiarity with policy-as-code tools (OPA, Sentinel).

Experience with GitOps patterns and service templates.

Exposure to observability and incident automation tooling.

Prior experience building or maintaining internal developer platforms at scale.
