About the job

About the Role

Hevo's platform moves and transforms data for thousands of customers, around the clock. We're looking for a Staff Platform Engineer to own the reliability, scalability, and observability of the infrastructure that makes that possible — a senior, hands-on engineer who can both operate at depth in AWS and Kubernetes and set technical direction for the broader Platform/DevOps function.

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

What We're Looking For — Must-Haves

  • 8+ years in DevOps, SRE, or Platform engineering roles, including meaningful time operating at Staff/Lead level
  • Deep, hands-on expertise running production Kubernetes at scale
  • Strong AWS expertise (EC2, VPC, EKS, RDS, IAM, networking, security groups)
  • Proven track record building observability stacks (OTel, Grafana, Telegraf, Influx or similar)
  • Strong scripting/automation skills (Python, Go, or Bash)
  • Infrastructure-as-code experience (Terraform, Ansible)
  • CI/CD pipeline design and ownership (Jenkins or similar)
  • Solid networking fundamentals — TCP/IP, DNS, load balancing, VPNs, service mesh
  • Experience owning on-call/incident management and driving a strong postmortem culture
  • Excellent communication skills — able to influence engineering decisions across teams without direct authority

Nice to Have

  • Experience with multi-region or multi-cloud architectures
  • Familiarity with cost optimization / FinOps practices
  • Exposure to compliance-driven environments (SOC 2, GDPR)
  • Prior experience at a SaaS or data infrastructure company
