[Hiring] Platforms Engineer @Storyblocks

Role Description

The Platforms team builds the foundation every other engineer at Storyblocks depends on: the pipelines that ship their code, the tooling that tells them when something breaks, and the environments they develop in. When that foundation is solid, the whole engineering org moves faster and sleeps better. This isn't a back-office infrastructure role. The work you do here shapes the daily experience of every engineer at the company.

We're hiring a Platforms Engineer we're genuinely excited to invest in and grow. Maybe you've been writing application code and kept getting pulled toward the pipelines, the deploys, and the "why is this broken in prod" problems. Maybe you come from a cloud or ops background and want to own systems end to end instead of just closing tickets. Either way, if you're comfortable in AWS, you care about the experience of the engineers around you, and you want more ownership than your current role gives you, this is built for you.

You'll work across CI/CD, observability, infrastructure-as-code, and local development environments in a fast-moving microservices world where resilience and scalability really matter. We'll start you on well-scoped, real problems and hand you bigger, higher-autonomy projects as fast as you can take them. This is a team that treats developer experience as a product, not an afterthought.

We care a lot about learning here. The platform space moves fast, and the tools you'll master in a year probably include a few that aren't on this page yet. We want someone who stays curious, enjoys picking up new skills, and shares what they learn with the team. We also expect you to use AI to supercharge your work, not to replace your judgment. Our best engineers lean on AI to move faster and go deeper while owning the decisions and the quality of what ships.

Qualifications

• Comfortable working in AWS and knowledgeable about its core services.
• Experience with observability or monitoring tools (like Datadog).
• Proficient in at least one scripting or programming language.
• Experience with infrastructure-as-code such as Terraform, or eagerness to learn.
• Experience running and scaling infrastructure, with excitement to grow into larger systems.
• Experience building or maintaining CI/CD pipelines.

Requirements

• Build, operate, and scale AWS infrastructure that supports our microservices platform.
• Develop and maintain CI/CD pipelines that make shipping fast, reliable, and safe.
• Build reusable, templated configuration (Helm charts, CircleCI orbs) for consistent deployments.
• Manage infrastructure through code, treating infra changes with the same rigor as application code.
• Improve observability and monitoring for better system understanding and debugging.
• Partner with product engineering teams to translate platform concepts into practical guidance.
• Make and document thoughtful technical trade-offs and lead complex platform projects.

Benefits

• Competitive and fair compensation: Annual base salary range of $122,000 - $129,200.
• 401(k) retirement plan with company match.
• Company-paid medical, dental, and vision premiums for you and your dependents.
• Paid parental leave: Up to 16 weeks total for birthing parents and 4 weeks for non-birthing parents.
• Unlimited vacation policy with two company-wide breaks in July and December.
• Fully remote work with company and team events.
• Company-sponsored mentorship and growth opportunities.
• Employee perks for work-life balance, including financial wellness programs and recognition initiatives.
• Casual work environment.
