As Senior Platform Engineer, you'll design and evolve the cloud architecture that powers Pivotal's platform, ensuring it scales reliably as the business grows. You'll work closely with feature engineering teams to build the foundational systems, tooling, and automation that enable faster, more confident shipping.

You have strong software fundamentals (Python preferred), hands-on cloud-native design experience, deep Terraform expertise, and familiarity with CI/CD (GitHub Actions), containers/Kubernetes, databases, and event-driven architectures (Kafka, Pub/Sub, Kinesis). You're comfortable discussing architectural trade-offs thoughtfully and clearly. Extra credit: startup/scaling environment experience, SRE background, serverless architectures, regulated/security-sensitive environments, or prior FinTech/HealthTech experience.
