As a Platform Engineer, you'll be at the forefront of designing and implementing robust, automated systems that handle high-volume workloads while maintaining low latency and high availability. The role involves working with cutting-edge technologies including Go, TypeScript, and Kubernetes, while managing cloud infrastructure across major providers like AWS, GCP, and Azure.

The ideal candidate brings 5+ years of cloud infrastructure experience and strong software engineering capabilities. You'll be joining a globally distributed team with over 30 nationalities, working in an autonomous environment that values collaborative open source development.
