[Hiring] Platform Infrastructure Engineer @Pliant

Role Description

We're looking for a Platform Infrastructure Engineer to join our small platform team with a wide remit: owning the AWS infrastructure across multiple account types, the CI/CD pipelines for 20+ microservices, and the Lambda and ECS runtime that product teams deploy on. Every engineer at Pliant depends on what this team maintains.

You'll own one or more infra domains end to end: design, build, operate, on call. That covers Terraform modules, GitHub Actions pipelines, AWS account architecture, Lambda functions in Go and Python, and an active ECS to Kubernetes migration. You'll work directly with product engineers, understand where the friction is, and fix it. You'll report to the Head of Platform Infrastructure.

Qualifications

• 5+ years in platform or infrastructure engineering, with meaningful time spent on production AWS at scale.
• Solid AWS experience: VPC design, IAM, ECS and EKS, Lambda, RDS.
• Terraform proficiency: you write modules and have dealt with state migrations, drift, and broken remote states in a shared codebase.
• Experience with Spacelift or a similar IaC orchestration tool.
• Kubernetes experience designing and running production workloads at scale.
• CI/CD experience with GitHub Actions at scale.
• Observability as a default: Datadog or equivalent.
• High Python proficiency.
• Clear communication with product engineers.
• Experience with AWS IAM Roles Anywhere and certificate based authentication patterns.
• Fluency with AI assisted coding tools such as Claude Code or Cursor.

Requirements

• Own infra domains end to end.
• Run Infrastructure as Code.
• Maintain CI/CD at scale.
• Build operational tooling.
• Own observability.
• Own security and compliance controls.
• Take part in on call.
• Use AI assisted coding tools daily.

Benefits

• The opportunity to work in a growing team with big responsibilities that thrives on a strong exchange of knowledge and excellence.
• Attractive remuneration.
• Your choice of preferred OS, Windows or Mac.
• Flat hierarchy and transparent communication in a relaxed, professional atmosphere.
• Opportunity to develop your talent in a dynamic team with ambitious goals.
• Flexibility and possibility to work remotely.
• Pliant Card with monthly credit to explore the product and enjoy food with colleagues.
