[Hiring] Senior Platform Engineer @Bestow

Role Description

As a Senior Platform Engineer, you’ll own the implementation of technical projects that improve our platform’s scalability, reliability, and developer experience. You’ll independently execute scoped initiatives, automate infrastructure, and build internal tools that help product teams move faster and safer.

You’ll collaborate closely with other platform engineers and cross-functional stakeholders, applying your engineering judgment to deliver clean, maintainable solutions. As you grow into the role, you’ll take on ownership of more complex systems and begin influencing architectural choices and team processes.

This role is perfect for someone who thrives on solving problems through automation and wants to level up as a systems thinker.

Projects you might work on:

• Develop and Maintain Cloud Infrastructure
  • Implement and evolve infrastructure-as-code using tools like Terraform or Pulumi.
  • Automate and monitor our Kubernetes-based platform and CI/CD pipelines.
  • Contribute to infrastructure tooling that improves repeatability, safety, and visibility.
• Support Developer Productivity
  • Build CLI tools, shared libraries, and scripts to accelerate development workflows.
  • Participate in resolving developer friction by improving build/test/deploy loops.
  • Help define standards for service configuration, secrets management, and app-level observability.
• Contribute to Platform Resilience
  • Implement dashboards, alerts, and runbooks for services owned by platform engineering.
  • Participate in incident response, root cause analysis, and follow-up improvements.
  • Propose and prototype changes to improve availability, scalability, and cost efficiency.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of professional experience working with cloud infrastructure (e.g., GCP, AWS, or Azure).
• Familiarity with infrastructure-as-code tools like Terraform or Pulumi and understanding of CI/CD workflows.
• Ability to write clean, maintainable code and experience in at least one scripting or programming language (e.g., Go, Python, Bash, TypeScript).
• Hands-on experience utilizing AI agents (e.g., Claude Code) for engineering tasks.
• Experience with containerization (e.g., Docker) and orchestration tools like Kubernetes.
• Understanding of version control workflows and regular participation in code reviews.
• Strong communication skills, ownership of work, and ability to collaborate well with others.
• Eager to grow and take on more architectural and operational responsibilities.

Benefits

• Competitive salary and equity based on role.
• Policies and managers that support work/life balance, like flexible paid time off and parental leave programs.
• 100% paid-premium option for medical, dental, and vision insurance.
• Lifestyle stipend to support physical, emotional, and financial wellbeing.
• Flexible work-from-home policy and options for remote work.
• Employee-led diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives.
