Senior Platform Engineer

Points North is looking for a Senior Platform Engineer who is ready to do work that is both foundational and forward-looking. This role will help support multiple products, some legacy and some brand new, and work on stabilizing and hardening what exists today and working with development teams to empower them to manage the operational health of their applications, their telemetry, their alerting, their performance, their scaling.

Requirements

• Automate the Azure infrastructure powering our products from end-to-end.
• Harden what exists, modernize what needs it, and build new infrastructure the right way from the start using Bicep and ARM templates.
• Build and mature our DataDog implementation including how we are using it, not just configuration.
• Ensure our Azure environment, pipelines, and application follow security best practices and that those practices are baked into how we build.
• Standardize what 'healthy' looks like for our systems and make sure we always have the measurement and alerting to know when it is not.
• Own the reliability and effectiveness of our Azure DevOps pipelines across build, test, and deployment and partner closely with development teams to make the pipeline experience faster and less painful for everyone.
• Build self-service tools, standards, and documentation that allow development teams to instrument their applications, set up their own monitors, and manage their own operational health without routing everything through you.
• Lead performance investigations and own post-incident reviews and drive the systemic improvements that prevent the same incident from happening twice.
• Act as a consultant and coach to development teams on cloud best practices, security, reliability patterns, and observability.
• Informally mentor engineers across the organization, raising the overall platform and reliability knowledge of the team over time.

Benefits

• Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision plans
• Employer-matching contributions to a SIMPLE Traditional and/or ROTH IRA plan
• Generous PTO, paid holidays, and Volunteer Time Off (VTO)
• Professional development is encouraged
• Flexible work arrangements may be available
