Platform Engineer II

WHAT YOU'LL DO
As a Platform Engineer II, you will automate cloud resources, implement developer tooling, and make changes to our products to increase their manageability. You should be able to define the technical design and implement work independently. You should have prior experience with systems administration and cloud service automation.

Bestow engineers are great teammates. You will spend most of your time with the Platform Engineers working on projects laying the cloud's foundation. You will also work directly with Product Engineering teams on their specific needs and build tooling and automation.

Do you want to build products to reinvent a centuries-old industry? If so, we'd love to hear from you.

Cloud Infrastructure Projects

We believe that all cloud infrastructure should be treated as code.

Modifications go through code review and are executed via CI tools.

Automate cloud infrastructure via tools like Terraform, CloudFormation, or Pulumi.

Administer our software platform, which includes Kubernetes, Pulumi Cloud, ArgoCD, CircleCI, and PostgreSQL.

Contribute to projects in languages such as TypeScript, Python, Go, or Bash.

Evaluate, design, and implement solutions for continuous integration, continuous delivery, and DevOps productivity.

Ensure the Reliability of Our Software

Collaborate with product engineers to identify observability/configurability gaps and make code-level improvements.

Creating the tooling to improve the developer experience, enabling them to deliver business value faster and more effectively.

Manage runbooks for incident response; Measure operational performance and make gradual improvements.

Participate in a primary on-call weekly rotation to maintain system reliability, respond to platform incidents, and perform blameless root-cause analysis.
