Senior Platform Engineer (GoLang)

Are you a creative problem solver who can both give and receive feedback? Do you lead with inclusion, collaboration, and openness? Do you have strong experience with high-scale B2B and B2C platforms?

As a Senior Platform Engineer, you'll be crafting and helping build the next generation of the Anaplan Platform. You’re comfortable with both full-stack systems design for the hybrid cloud as well as hands-on distributed systems programming with extensive knowledge of Java, JVM, Rust, Linux internals and container orchestration.

The Role

We're looking for experienced engineers who've built real products at scale and apply that same rigor to platform engineering. You'll engineer new platforms as products, not just operate existing infrastructure. You understand user experience, reliability, and technical debt from shipping production systems. You'll design platforms that are extensible, observable, and maintainable, enabling internal teams to build on top of them while handling the complexity underneath.

Your Impact

Kubernetes Engineering & Automation

You don't just write Helm charts or YAML manifests; you extend the Kubernetes API.

Custom Operators: Proven ability to write Kubernetes Operators (using Kubebuilder or Operator SDK) to manage complex, stateful application lifecycles.

Control Plane Logic: Deep understanding of reconciliation loops, custom resource definitions (CRDs), and how to automate operational knowledge into code

Scalable Microservices & Distributed Systems

You build for high concurrency, low latency, and eventual consistency.

High-Scale SaaS: 10+ years of experience building and operating production-grade SaaS products. You have first-hand experience with the "death by a thousand cuts" that

comes with scaling to millions of requests.

Systems Programming: Advanced proficiency in Go, Rust, or JVM-based languages, with a focus on writing memory-efficient and thread-safe code.

Deep-Tier Cloud Storage & Persistence

You understand the physics of data.

Storage Internals: We need more than S3 API knowledge. You should understand the performance characteristics, limitations, and cost-drivers of S3, NFS, and enterprise

storage like NetApp OnTap or AWS FSx.

Data Locality: Experience managing data persistence across hybrid environments (Public Cloud vs. Private DC).

Operational Maturity (The "SRE" DNA)

You believe that "if it isn't monitored, it doesn't exist."

Instrumentation: Expert-level experience with OpenTelemetry. You don't just look at metrics; you design the telemetry that allows for deep-dive distributed tracing and root-cause analysis.

Observability Infrastructure: Hands-on experience scaling Prometheus and Grafana to

handle high-cardinality data.

Your Skills

· Substantial experience in Java, RUST programming experience

· Proven experience in building and operating a SaaS product at scale.

· Proven cloud experience using observability and operating workloads in Kubernetes.
