Staff Platform Engineer

What You'll Do

Own end-to-end reliability, scalability, and performance of Hevo's production infrastructure on AWS, GCP and Kubernetes

Design and evolve our observability stack — metrics, logs, traces, alerting, SLIs/SLOs, and error budgets

Lead incident management: on-call rotations, blameless postmortems, and systematically reducing MTTA/MTTR

Drive infrastructure-as-code practices (Terraform, Ansible) and own CI/CD pipeline design

Architect and operate Kubernetes clusters at scale — upgrades, autoscaling, cost optimization, multi-tenant workloads

Own network architecture and security posture for cloud infrastructure (VPCs, load balancers, service mesh, zero-trust networking)

Partner with product engineering teams to embed reliability and operational excellence into the software lifecycle

Mentor and uplevel other platform engineers; set technical direction and engineering best practices

Own capacity planning and cost optimization for cloud infrastructure
