Sr. Platform Engineer

We are seeking a highly technical and hands-on Sr. Platform Engineer to help design and lead the implementation of private datacenter Infrastructure-as-a-Service capabilities.

This role is responsible for translating service architecture into working, automated, and consumable infrastructure services, starting with self-service networking and expanding into compute, storage, load balancing and adjacent platform capabilities.

The ideal candidate is deeply experienced in building real-world private cloud or platform engineering solutions, and is equally comfortable working across networking, virtualization, and automation domains.

This is not an architecture-only role — this is a hands-on builder role responsible for delivering the first generation of your internal infrastructure-as-a-service platform.

Responsibilities:

• Partner with the Infrastructure Architect, Infrastructure Leadership, and domains leads to implement the organization's private cloud and Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) strategy
• Drive the shift from ticket-based infrastructure fulfillment to controlled self-service and automated provisioning
• Translate target-state architecture into scalable, automated, and supportable infrastructure services
• Lead the design and implementation of self-service infrastructure capabilities, including with networking services and expanding to compute, storage, load balancing and adjacent platform services
• Partner with Infrastructure Architect and domain leads to build AIOps capabilities in Infrastructure CoE
• Design and implement self-service networking capabilities that allow product teams to provision approved network connectivity, security flows and IP whitelisting
• Build and maintain automation workflows, infrastructure templates, service blueprints, and orchestration processes that enable standardized service delivery
• Build reusable automation modules, templates, pipelines, and service blueprints for networking, compute, storage, and adjacent infrastructure services
• Develop integration patterns between virtualization, network, storage, security, and service management platforms
• Develop API-based integrations across infrastructure platforms, service management systems, orchestration tools, and approval workflows
• Establish Git-based development practices for infrastructure automation, including branching, code review, testing, release management, and rollback patterns
• Define and implement the technical components required to support a service catalog, onboarding model, and infrastructure consumption framework
• Evaluate existing infrastructure platforms and recommend improvements to enable automation, self-service, and platform scalability
• Help establish platform engineering practices, standards, and operating procedures to support Infrastructure-as-a-Service delivery
• Drive implementation of Infrastructure as Code (IaC), Network as Code (NaC), and automated provisioning capabilities where appropriate
• Ensure infrastructure services are secure, auditable, resilient, and compliant with enterprise governance requirements
• Act as the aaS technical SME and hands-on contributor, providing implementation guidance, troubleshooting complex platform challenges, and removing technical roadblocks
• Document service architectures, automation workflows, operational procedures, and technical standards to support long-term sustainability and operational excellence
• Contribute to the roadmap for future capabilities including compute services, storage se
