Sr. Enterprise Platform Engineer

**Department: Engineering** **Reports to: Operations Development Lead** **Location: Remote** **FLSA Status: Exempt** **Overview** The Senior Enterprise Platform Engineer partners with engineering, operations, and product teams to turn complex platform requirements into scalable, production-grade cloud and on-premises solutions. This role owns critical infrastructure across CI/CD, Kubernetes, data platforms, and networking, and is central to keeping OneRail's systems reliable, secure, and able to scale as the business grows. We're looking for a hands-on, senior-level engineer who combines deep technical expertise with strong judgment, is comfortable leading through ambiguity, and can mentor other engineers while raising the bar for engineering standards across the team. **Responsibilities** - **CI/CD & release automation —** Own CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions) and self-service release tooling (ArgoCD), automating build, test, security scanning, and deployment so product teams ship safely and independently. - **Infrastructure as Code —** Architect and maintain IaC frameworks (Crossplane, Cookiecutter) for repeatable, auditable, policy-compliant provisioning across cloud and on-prem. - **Kubernetes & workloads —** Deploy, tune, and operate containerized workloads and self-managed OSS services (Kafka, RabbitMQ, Elasticsearch) on Kubernetes, including scaling, quotas, network policies, and cluster lifecycle. - **Data & databases —** Manage cloud data platforms (Snowflake) and relational/NoSQL databases: pipelines, access control, performance tuning, capacity planning, backup/restore, and patching with rollback readiness. - **Reliability & networking —** Design HA/DR architectures (multi-region failover, RTO/RPO validation) and optimize cloud networking (VPC, peering, service mesh, DNS) for performance and security. - **Incident response —** Lead on-call escalation, root cause analysis, and blameless post-mortems to reduce repeat incidents. - **On-prem infrastructure —** Administer Linux servers, Nutanix HCI clusters, and Cisco networking equipment. - **Standards & mentorship —** Run code and infrastructure reviews, set engineering standards, mentor engineers, and evaluate emerging cloud-native technology against scalability and cost goals. **Qualifications** - B.S. in computer science, software engineering, or a related field. - 5+ years of senior/expert-level DevOps and cloud architecture experience across Azure, GCP, and on-premises private clouds. - Expert in CI/CD operations, GitHub Actions pipelines, branching strategy, build optimization, and static/dynamic code analysis integration. - Expert in Kubernetes architecture and administration, plus Linux configuration, administration, and troubleshooting. - Expert in GitOps-driven public and private cloud provisioning and secure network design (ingress/egress, service discovery, DNS). - Expert in building highly available, redundant service architectures and observability (Grafana, Prometheus, Datadog, Loki, Mimir, Tempo, OpenTelemetry). - Expert in on-prem hardware, including Nutanix clusters, general and GPU compute, and Cisco networking/firewall appliances. **Preferred Qualifications** - Proficient with self-managed, redundant streaming and messaging platforms (Kafka, KurrentDB, RabbitMQ/ActiveMQ) on bare metal and Kubernetes operators. - Proficient with relational (MySQL, Postgres, CockroachDB) and NoSQL/columnar (MongoDB, Redis, Elasticsearch, ClickHouse, Cassandra) database platforms. - Experience mentoring junior engineers. ## **Work Location** Remote **Target Salary:** $140,000 - 174,000 **About OneRail** OneRail is a leading omnichannel fulfillment solution pairing best-in-class software with logistics as a service to provide dependability and speed to help businesses meet their delivery promise.
