Platform Engineer

Were looking for a hands-on Platform Engineer to help build the backend and data platform for a new product. The codebase is still early so this person will have a meaningful role in shaping the architecture development standards and deployment approach.

Youll build production backend services and APIs that ingest query and deliver high-volume data. The platform will be containerized and deployed with Kubernetes in both connected and air-gapped customer environments.

What youll do:

• Build backend services for data ingestion retrieval and delivery

• Design the flow between storage backend services and client applications

• Develop strongly typed APIs using Protobuf and gRPC

• Package deploy and troubleshoot services on Kubernetes

• Address container registries security credentials availability and recovery

• Help establish practical engineering standards for an early-stage product

What we need:

• Hands-on production Kubernetes experience including diagnosing and recovering failed deployments (K3s or RKE2)

• Experience deploying applications in air-gapped or restricted environments

• Backend development and API design experience; Go Java or Python may be relevant

• Ability to take an open-ended problem propose a design and build the solution with limited direction

Experience with high-volume ingestion telemetry IoT data data lakes performance-sensitive systems or defense environments would be helpful.
