Platform Engineer

Zalion is on a mission to eliminate repetitive procurement work through agentic AI. Were building autonomous agents that operate deep within enterprise procurement navigating messy data legacy systems and complex workflows to deliver real impact.

Join us early and help define how enterprise AI is done right.

Tasks

You will:

• Own our platform foundations end-to-end from AWS architecture and IaC to CI/CD observability and incident readiness.
• Build and evolve secure scalable AWS infrastructure (networking compute storage IAM) optimized for reliability and cost.
• Design and maintain CI/CD pipelines on GitHub that are fast repeatable and developer-friendly (clear feedback loops safe deploys strong defaults).
• Define and operate infrastructure using Terraform with clean modules sensible standards and automated validation.
• Improve developer experience through golden paths: templates self-service environments paved roads for deployments and internal tooling that removes friction.
• Drive availability scalability and resilience: deployment strategies rollbacks capacity planning DR thinking and performance tuning.
• Implement pragmatic security-by-default: least privilege IAM secrets management secure supply chain and guardrails that enable speed without compromising safety.
• Establish and refine observability and reliability practices (SLOs/SLIs monitoring alerting postmortems runbooks) that scale with the team.
• Partner closely with product engineering to reduce operational load and keep delivery velocity high as Zalion grows.

Requirements

• Strong experience as a Platform / DevOps / Site Reliability Engineer in product teams shipping to production.
• Deep practical knowledge of AWS: networking IAM security controls and designing for failure.
• Hands-on expertise with Terraform: modules state strategy DRY patterns environment separation and automated reviews.
• Solid CI/CD engineering experience with GitHub: pipeline design artifact/versioning deployment safety and fast feedback loops.
• A strong mindset for reliability and operability: you think in failure modes automation and measurable outcomes (SLOs).
• Security awareness and discipline: you build guardrails that make the secure path the easy path.
• A builder mindset: you ship improvements measure impact (lead time deploy frequency MTTR) and iterate.
• Comfort with ambiguity and ownership: you proactively identify platform bottlenecks and fix them without waiting for perfect specs.
• 4 years experience in relevant roles (startup/scale-up experience is a plus).

Benefits

• Build the platform behind agentic AI systems that run in real enterprise environments
• Massive autonomy zero bureaucracy
• Immediate impact your work accelerates every engineer and every release
• Modern stack no legacy constraints
• Competitive salary meaningful equity
• High-end equipment

Tech Stack Youll Work With

• AWS (core services; compute networking IAM logging/monitoring managed data services)
• Terraform (modules workspaces validation state management)
• GitHub (Actions CI/CD workflows checks release automation)
• Containers orchestration (e.g. ECS/Fargate and/or Kubernetes depending on evolution)
• Observability tooling (metrics logs tracing; e.g. Grafana/Prometheus/OpenTelemetry and friends)
• Security tooling (SAST/DAST dependency scanning secrets scanning policy as code
