Platform Engineer - Multicloud
Role Overview
As a Platform Engineer on the Compute Team, you will audit existing infrastructure for cloud-specific dependencies and design cloud-agnostic abstractions for compute, networking, and storage. You'll maintain Kubernetes-based orchestration for portability across multiple cloud environments and collaborate with product and infrastructure teams to ensure new work is built with multi-cloud portability from the start. This mid-to-senior role focuses on building the foundation for running workloads across cloud and colocated infrastructure, impacting scalability and developer tools.
Perks & Benefits
Fully remote with global hiring and async workflows, allowing you to work from anywhere. Benefits include ESOP equity, a tech allowance for your ideal setup, 100% health insurance for employees and 80% for dependents, annual company off-sites, and a professional development budget. The culture is open-source-first, fast-paced, and respectful of your time with an async-friendly hiring process.

Design and implement cloud-agnostic abstractions over compute, networking, and storage layers
Maintain and evolve our Kubernetes-based workload orchestration to run portably across cloud environments
Collaborate with platform and product engineering teams to ensure new work is built with multi-cloud portability in mind from the start
Contribute to architecture decisions around target cloud environments and colocated infrastructure options
You Might Be a Good Fit If You
Have 3-5+ years of experience in platform or infrastructure engineering
Are experienced with Kubernetes and comfortable running it across multiple environments
Have worked with Pulumi or similar infrastructure-as-code tooling
Have been through at least one cloud abstraction, portability, or re-platforming initiative
Communicate clearly across both technical and non-technical audiences
Have experience in async or globally distributed teams
Are energized by solving real-world problems for developers
Are comfortable navigating ambiguity and moving quickly
