[Hiring] Senior Platform Engineer @Docplanner

Role Description

We are looking for a Senior Platform Engineer based in Türkiye to own the infrastructure behind our Turkish products. You will run production Kubernetes workloads on AWS, migrate our relational databases from RDS to databases running on EKS, and operate the PHP, .NET and Node.js applications that run in them. You will be the platform's reference for data residency, encryption and audit evidence during the Ministry of Health certification, working with the Practice Adoption engineers, the local compliance team and the global Core Platform team, which supports you on the shared platform.

What you'll work on

• Run the Kubernetes platform.
• Own the EKS clusters behind our Turkish products: node lifecycle and upgrades, autoscaling, resource policy, networking, deployment and observability.
• Your first big project: databases from RDS to Kubernetes.
• Bring the rest of Türkiye in: applications, data plane and the services around them.
• Operate the platform the certification depends on.

Day to day

• High availability and autoscaling of PHP, .NET and Node.js workloads (KEDA, Karpenter).
• GitOps delivery with Argo CD.
• Cross-cluster networking and Datadog monitoring.

Key responsibilities

• Run the Kubernetes platform for the Turkish products: node lifecycle, upgrades, autoscaling (HPA, KEDA, Karpenter), resource policy.
• Lead the migration of relational databases from RDS to databases on EKS: operator choice, replication, cutover, rollback, backups and point-in-time recovery.
• Own the platform's compliance evidence: data residency, encryption, secrets and privileged access, backups, and the artefacts the Ministry audit asks for.
• Keep PHP, .NET and Node.js workloads highly available: zero-downtime deploys, DB-safe releases, graceful shutdown, right-sized scaling.
• Own delivery through GitOps: Argo CD structure, deployment strategies (rolling, blue-green, canary), environment promotion.
• Design and debug networking: ingress, cross-cluster and cross-VPC communication, controlled egress to Ministry systems.
• Build observability with Datadog: SLOs, actionable alerts, APM and database monitoring, audit-grade logging.
• Operate those databases once migrated: failover, upgrades, storage performance, capacity, incident response.
• Automate with infrastructure as code and keep the platform cost-aware.

Qualifications

• 5+ years operating production infrastructure.
• Kubernetes inside out, from practice: you have run stateless and stateful workloads in production.
• Has run at least one real Kubernetes operator in production.
• AWS in depth: EKS, networking, storage, identity, multi-AZ design and cost awareness or similar cloud experience.
• Scaling and high availability: workload and cluster autoscaling (KEDA, Karpenter or similar).
• GitOps (Argo CD, flux) and deployment strategies.
• Networking: services, ingress, network policies, cross-cluster communication.
• Observability (Datadog, Prometheus and Grafana): SLOs, actionable alerts, application and database monitoring.
• Security in practice: encryption in transit and at rest, secrets management, privileged access to clusters and databases.
• Comfortable with relational databases as the person who runs the platform under them.
• Daily use of AI coding tools (Cursor, Claude Code or similar) and ownership of every line and manifest they ship.
• Professional English (B2+) and native Turkish.

Strong plus

• Has run relational databases on Kubernetes through an operator, and has migrated databases between platforms.
• Disaster recovery design: RPO and RTO, backup verification, restore drills.
• Supplied infrastructure evidence in an ISO 27001, SOC 2 or health-sector audit.
• Experience with data residency constraints and AWS Local Zones.
• Telehealth media infrastructure: WebRTC, TURN and SFU scaling.
• Prior contact with Turkish regulators or Ministry systems.
