Senior Platform Engineer

The Role You’ll Play

As a Senior Platform Engineer on Playlist, you’ll design and deliver Infrastructure-as-Code solutions that empower developer teams. You’ll drive cloud architecture, iterate with squads on their workloads, and build self-service tools to speed delivery and improve quality. Your work will help design, implement, and operate the cloud infrastructure that powers the Mindbody ecosystem and supports millions of users.

Partner with Product and Engineering to design, build, and operate the cloud platform that enables squads to deliver reliably and autonomously.

Own and evolve our production Kubernetes platform and core cloud primitives, driving safe, automated, and observable infrastructure-as-code.

Deliver self-service tooling and IaC patterns so teams can provision and run workloads without platform intervention.

Lead cross-team projects from problem definition through architecture, implementation, and launch while reducing operational toil and improving reliability and security.

Be the go-to engineer for production incident response, runbook automation, and platform change management across segmented and compliance-bound environments.

Experience You Bring

Senior experience in building and operating cloud platform capabilities in public cloud environments (AWS/GCP/Azure).

Production Kubernetes expertise and hands-on experience with the CNCF ecosystem and cluster lifecycle management.

IaC and CI/CD discipline: strong track record delivering changes via Pulumi/Terraform/CloudFormation, GitOps, and automated pipelines with testing and safe rollouts.

Operational excellence: incident response, blameless postmortems, observability (metrics, logging, tracing), and automation to reduce MTTR.

Systems knowledge: networking, identity, compute, storage, and runtime services at scale.

Technical leadership: writing design docs, leading multi-team initiatives, mentoring peers, and performing timely code/design reviews.

Languages and tooling: practical experience with TypeScript, Go, or Python and shell scripting; comfortable reading and contributing to platform code.

Strong communicator who collaborates across product, security, and engineering teams.

Nice to Have

Experience with PCI or other compliance-segmented environments.

Familiarity with service mesh, autoscaling, policy engines (Istio, Karpenter, Kyverno, KEDA).

Background in self-service platform tooling and developer experience improvements.

Exposure to AI/automation tooling for runbook automation and incident triage.
