You will join as a Platform Engineer responsible for defining and leading the technical direction of the platform as it scales 10x+ in enterprise customers. This is a hands-on, high-impact role focused on architecture, reliability, and developer experience across a Kubernetes-based infrastructure.
Key responsibilities include:
**Platform Reliability & Scalability**: Design and implement scalable solutions within the Kubernetes-based platform for secure enterprise workloads.
