Senior Platform Engineer

We are looking for a Senior Platform Engineer to join the team. In coordination with the wider engineering team, you will be responsible for developing the Artsy platform, with a focus on the infrastructure and developer tooling that enables our product teams. Our platform is continuously changing, and this role will play a key part in shaping how we evolve and scale our systems. For example, this role is expected to devise and implement solutions related, but not limited to, Kubernetes clusters, availability SLOs, PostgreSQL instances, MongoDB Atlas instances, RabbitMQ Queues, and data pipelines orchestrated by Airflow, as well as the infrastructure underpinning them. The platform is core to Artsy’s ability to ship reliably and efficiently, and this role will work collaboratively to define the systems, practices, and tooling required to run a world-class product. This role is fully remote, and we're open to candidates located anywhere across the LATAM region. WHAT YOU’LL DO AT ARTSY: - You’ll shape how we run Kubernetes on AWS, focusing on scalability, reliability, and usability, and improving cluster architecture, deployment patterns, and operational practices. - You’ll design and improve CI/CD pipelines and developer workflows to enable fast, safe, and repeatable deployments. - Manage our cloud infrastructure and resources using Terraform - You’ll work cross-functionally with product engineers to understand their needs and enable them through tooling, automation, and best practices. - Help manage our Cloudflare configuration including DNS, WAF, and other Cloudflare product offerings. - Work with multiple languages, including Python, scripting languages, JavaScript/TypeScript, Ruby, and C#. We do not expect you to have used all these languages (we expect most of your time will be spent using Python and scripting languages), but we do expect a willingness to support and contribute to code bases using them. - Act as the in-house expert on networking issues - Contribute to a collaborative engineering culture that works in the open and assumes good intent from colleagues. - Evaluate complex systems and suggest, design, and implement improvements up and down the tech stack. THIS ROLE IS A FIT FOR YOU IF: - You enjoy building and evolving platforms that enable other engineers to move faster and more safely. - You have experience working with Kubernetes in production environments (ideally EKS on AWS). - You have strong experience with CI/CD systems and believe in automation-first workflows. - You have worked in a platform or infrastructure role where you provided both tooling and guidance to product teams. - You understand how to deliver business value with sound technical decision-making and can communicate trade-offs to different audiences. - You are comfortable owning systems and working collaboratively with others to ensure they can use those systems successfully. - You can comfortably troubleshoot networking and transport layer issues and leverage the tooling necessary to do so at scale. IT’S A PLUS IF YOU… - Have experience with observability tooling (e.g., Datadog, GCP Logging, etc) - Have experience optimizing cloud infrastructure for cost and performance - Have experience with security best practices in cloud-native environments - Have experience with cloud migrations - Have experience with Windows Servers - Have experience with Lucene search, e.g., Elasticsearch, OpenSearch, SOLR - Have experience diagnosing issues with data pipelines and airflow THIS ROLE IS UNLIKELY TO BE A GOOD MATCH IF YOU… - Prefer working in isolation rather than collaborating with product teams - You are unwilling to support and contribute to code bases written in languages with which you are not already familiar. - Expect platform teams to operate as a ticket-driven service layer - Are not interested in improving developer experience or enabling others - Prefer manual processes over automation and CI/CD-driven workflows WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE IN…
