Featured life in Japan
We are seeking a highly skilled and experienced Platform Engineer to manage and enhance our end-to-end application delivery platform, from CloudFront to the underlying EKS clusters. Moving beyond standard maintenance, this role combines production infrastructure ownership with software engineering. You will build and scale robust in-house platform tools, develop custom Kubernetes controllers, and automate complex workflows safely.
The ideal candidate will have a strong foundation across cloud infrastructure, networking, Kubernetes, and service mesh technologies, with deep expertise in at least one of these areas. The candidate will also have production experience in Python or Go and the versatility to become productive in the other. We particularly value engineers who can quickly understand unfamiliar systems, capable of using AI-assisted development effectively while remaining accountable for production stability, code maintainability, and operational safety.
In this role, you will play a pivotal part in raising our engineering velocity and defining the reliability standards of our platform.
