Platform Engineer

Do you love scaling Kubernetes and excited by the future of AI At BridgeFund were looking for a Platform Engineer to help build the cloud-native infrastructure behind our automated lending and agentic OS. If youre eager to learn adapt and build reliable platforms for both developers and AI agents join us

Your role

You run and improve our cloud-native platform day to day. You work independently with minimal guidance youre a trusted resource for less-experienced colleagues and your impact lands within Engineering and the teams you support. This is a hands-on role for an engineer who already runs production Kubernetes with confidence and treats AI agents as part of their toolchain.

Our whole business from a loan application to a funding decision runs on a cloud-native platform on AWS: EKS Istio Flux GitOps Terraform Helm and our own in-house-built cloud infrastructure operator that provisions cloud resources (queues buckets and more) declaratively straight from Kubernetes. On that same platform runs our agentic AI operating system and the AI infrastructure behind it. And yes youll build with agentic coding tools every day. Most of our platform team already does.

Your responsibilities

• Operate and extend our AWS/EKS platform Istio service mesh Flux GitOps KEDA autoscaling OPA Gatekeeper cert-manager Velero and ALB ingress across dev acceptance and production.

• Run and extend our in-house cloud infrastructure operator that lets teams provision cloud resources (queues buckets and more) declaratively straight from Kubernetes.

• Build and maintain shared CI/CD templates and self-service tooling so teams ship with less friction.

• Own reliability and observability (Prometheus Grafana Loki Tempo) for your area and turn incidents into runbooks so they dont happen twice.

• Solve complex - but largely bounded or recurring - platform problems balancing short- and long-term trade-offs.

• Automate the toil: if something is manual and repetitive your instinct is to make the platform (or an agent) do it.

What you bring

• Minimum 4 years of platform / DevOps / SRE experience and you can run Kubernetes in production with minimal guidance (EKS a plus).

• Strong infrastructure-as-code and GitOps discipline Terraform Helm Flux or Argo CD and solid CI/CD (GitLab a plus).

• Youre genuinely AI-native: agentic coding tools (Claude Code Cursor and friends) are already part of how you build and youre excited to push that frontier rather than sceptical of it. This is the mindset we care about most.

• A security- and reliability-first instinct: you think about blast radius least privilege and observability before things break.

• A first-principles thinker and an owner: you finish things you write the runbook and you warn affected teams before they feel the change.

• Bonus: hands-on experience with AI/LLM infrastructure vector stores RAG LLM observability MCP or Bedrock/OpenAI.

Dont tick every box Tell us anyway we hire for trajectory and judgement not a checklist. Thats usually how the best engineers start here.
