GoHenry - Senior Platform Engineer

• Hands-on Technical Delivery • Design, implement, and own infrastructure systems end-to-end, from initial design through to production operation. • Write high-quality, well-tested infrastructure code using Terraform, Helm charts, and CI/CD pipelines, actively contributing to team-wide standards. • Take ownership of complex production incidents—diagnosing, resolving, and driving blameless post-incident reviews to prevent recurrence. • Contribute to architectural discussions with well-reasoned proposals backed by practical experience. • Stay current with the cloud ecosystem and bring concrete, considered recommendations for tooling and approaches to the team. • Platform Quality & Reliability • Maintain a consistently high bar for scalability, resilience, and reliability across your areas of ownership. • Implement and improve observability using meaningful metrics, structured logging, and actionable alerting that surfaces real signals. • Ensure all infrastructure is version-controlled, reviewable, and reproducible, following infrastructure-as-code principles throughout. • Design and operate systems with security and compliance in mind—ensuring adherence to industry best practices and supporting audit requirements such as PCI-DSS and SOC 2. • Cross-Team Collaboration • Work closely with tech squads to help them consume platform capabilities effectively and unblock their delivery. • Partner with backend, data, and security engineers to align on shared infrastructure patterns and standards. • Communicate clearly about infrastructure changes, risks, and ongoing work to the teams that depend on the platform. • Deep, hands-on Google Cloud experience (including GKE and Cloud SQL), with a strong grasp of GCP's networking and security model (experience with Cloudflare is a bonus). • Strong hands-on Kubernetes skills and a practical understanding of container orchestration in a production environment. • Proficiency in writing and standardising infrastructure code with Terraform, Helm, and modern CI/CD tooling. • Proven track record as a strong individual contributor who takes end-to-end ownership of complex technical work. • Good working knowledge of observability tooling (such as Datadog) to configure metrics, logging, and alerting systems that genuinely inform on-call response. • A passion for sharing knowledge, mentoring peers, writing documentation, and helping fellow engineers grow.
