About the role 🤓
As a Platform Engineer in seQura, you will play a key role in evolving the existing infrastructure to a Platform product. You will join the team in charge of transforming the current systems (IaC, observability, CICD, security…) into a unified, scalable platform that empowers other tech teams' autonomy to deliver more efficiently and consistently.
This will involve abstracting infrastructure complexities, creating reusable components, and developing automation tools that can be leveraged across the organisation. By focusing on platformization, you will enable faster innovation cycles, reduce operational overhead, and help streamline the developer experience, ensuring that engineering teams can focus on building great products.
If you are passionate about cloud infrastructure, automation, and continuous improvement and enjoy solving complex problems, we would love to hear from you!
Our (current) stack 🔨
We manage AWS with Terraform and Atlantis and K8s with Helm and our CICD pipelines are supported by Jenkins, GithubActions and ArgoCD.
Our observability stack mixes Grafana and Prometheus for metrics, Elastic for logs, Jaeger/Tempo for traces and Sentry for errors.
Our languages include Ruby on rails, groovy and Python.
What you'll do 🚀
- Collaborate with tech teams to shape platform solutions: Actively engage with development teams to deeply understand their needs, designing and building infrastructure that empowers them to move faster and more efficiently.
- Drive infrastructure evolution and optimisation: Lead the continuous improvement of our infrastructure, ensuring it evolves to meet growing demands while maintaining high standards of reliability and performance by enabling other teams to take ownership of their components.
- Be the go-to expert on platform topics: Provide deep technical expertise on platform-related matters, offering guidance and support to teams across the organisation and driving best practices in platform engineering.
- Identify inefficiencies and security risks, then drive solutions: Proactively spot repetitive tasks (toil) and ways to optimise the team's efficiency, and take actions towards them.
- Keep an eye on security: Detect potential security vulnerabilities and implement solutions that ensure risk mitigation for the organisation.
- Ensure round-the-clock application availability: Be a key player in our on-call rotation, taking ownership of platform reliability and swiftly resolving issues to ensure 24/7 uptime for our applications.
- Take ownership of PCI compliance: Serve as the PCI admin, ensuring our platform adheres to industry security standards and compliance requirements, safeguarding our systems and protecting sensitive data.
