Platform Engineer improving software delivery performance and availability by driving DevOps culture at Top Hat. Join a remote-first team helping product teams manage and achieve SLOs.
Responsibilities
Build and operate platform-level shared services and capabilities, such as continuous integration, continuous deployment, infrastructure automation, and monitoring.
Extend our reusable service template and its associated CI/CD tooling.
Lead efforts to further mature our cloud infrastructure and platform offering as our business grows.
Build and extend our production observability, helping teams manage and achieve SLOs.
Scale continuous deployment practices across the engineering department, equipping teams to ship software reliably and frequently with minimal friction.
Provide reusable patterns and guidance to enable DevOps practices (end-to-end production ownership within each cross-functional team). This means working with tools and infrastructure in addition to shaping processes and practices.
Coach product teams on operational ownership and teach blame-free root cause analysis for incidents that impact customers or delivery performance.
Mentor and support platform team members as they acclimate to the domain. You will also help new and junior developers learn how we work; day-to-day routines, best practices, and patterns while providing both positive and constructive feedback tactfully.
Participate in team on-call practices and support rotations.
Requirements
An advocate for DevOps practices and principles. We have the buy-in and now it’s about continuing the execution of the vision.
Experienced in cloud infrastructure and tooling (AWS, Terraform), with the ability to design and operate services in the cloud.
Knowledgeable in CI/CD tooling (GitHub Actions), with experience maintaining large multi-stage pipelines.
Hands-on with infrastructure as code (Terraform), Docker, and observability tooling (Honeycomb).
Proficient in at least one software development language. While your skills are transferable, familiarity with Python, used for most of our platform work, will give you a strong head start.
A collaborative team player who can also independently drive mostly self-contained projects when required.
