Platform Engineer

Description:

Attest's platform squad exists to empower other engineers to deliver value with high efficiency, security and reliability, by empowering them with platforms, tooling and infrastructure.

We take a two-pronged approach: running, maintaining, and supporting platforms and tools that are used on a daily basis by other engineers, whilst simultaneously identifying and implementing improvements to Developer Experience more broadly.

As a Platform Engineer, you share responsibility for the stability, scalability, security and efficiency of Attest's platform infrastructure. You work in collaboration with both platform team members and other people from across the organisation to scope out, prioritise and deliver technical enhancements to the Attest platform, ensuring that the wider Attest engineering team can work efficiently.

Your focus will be…

• As a Platform Engineer you will work with other squads to understand what blocks Attest's engineers from delivering effectively, and you'll identify the highest impact work that will improve the efficiency of our workflows.
• You will deliver day to day tactical improvements, typically including optimising CI/CD pipelines; automating and improving our AWS/EKS infrastructure with Terraform and Pulumi; responding to incidents along with other engineers; maintaining and improving our telemetry, and maintaining platform documentation.
• You will improve developer tooling and make sure that our engineers can feel confident using the tools at their disposal.
• You will continuously evaluate the effectiveness, suitability and cost effectiveness of Attest's platform and infrastructure, ensuring that as the company grows, the technology we use scales appropriately alongside the platform team itself.
• You will play an important role in making sure that Attest stays up to date with key technological developments in the wider industry.
• You will work with leaders across the business to ensure our platform meets any compliance and regulatory requirements.
• You will support and mentor a strong culture of development, making sure that the skills of the platform team and engineers remain relevant and impactful.
