About the Senior Platform Engineer, Infrastructure and Security role

As a Senior Platform Engineer, you will be crucial in designing, implementing, and maintaining our AWS cloud infrastructure while ensuring our systems are secure and resilient. You will work closely with cross-functional teams to address technical and security challenges, balancing the need for scalability and performance with robust security measures.

As a Senior Platform Engineer at Float:

  • Build and maintain a robust and efficient infrastructure by designing, deploying, and managing services such as ECS, EKS, and RDS.
  • Enhance operational efficiency by developing and implementing automation and Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using Terraform and Atlantis, with stringent controls over infrastructure creation and modification.
  • Ensure compliance with cloud security best practices by implementing and enforcing security measures across AWS environments and containerized applications.
  • Optimize cloud infrastructure performance, availability, and reliability through continuous monitoring and targeted improvements.
  • Maintain adherence to AWS Well-Architected Framework best practices by effectively managing and troubleshooting cloud resources.
  • Identify and mitigate potential risks through regular security assessments, vulnerability scans, and threat modeling.
  • Develop and maintain comprehensive security policies, procedures, and incident response plans tailored to cloud and container environments that also support various regulatory and compliance regimes (Such as PCI-DSS 4.0 and SOC2).
  • Integrate cloud infrastructure and security best practices into development workflows by collaborating closely with engineering and operations teams.
  • Provide valuable input on design and application security by participating in architecture reviews and acting as a trusted partner for our stakeholders.
  • Stay current with industry trends, emerging technologies, and best practices in AWS cloud infrastructure and security.

Requirements

You’ll be great in this role if:

  • You’re an owner. You love a challenge, and take great satisfaction in tackling them head on. You love being a pioneer and taking on any task (big or small) and driving it through to completion. You are also comfortable making independent decisions and following your instincts to be able to move quickly.
  • You’re able to explain complex problems in simple terms. As you'll be communicating your requirements to different stakeholders, your ability to present a solution in an understandable way is vital.
  • You have solid technical skills. Strong skills in Infrastructure, Cloud technologies, infrastructure security, the current threat landscape and vulnerability management are crucial. Understanding of operational security and development practices is an asset.
  • You understand the business context. You'll be more effective if you understand how your role supports the business and where you can influence the vision and strategy of Float.
  • You’re comfortable with a fast-paced environment. Float is a dynamic environment and things can change quickly. You should be flexible and able to adapt to changes as they occur.
  • You have a strategic mindset. You act in the now but plan for the future. You see where our platform needs to go, put a plan in place and proactively drive that change.
  • You can balance attention to detail and strategic thinking. While it's important to delve into the details of your data, it's equally important to keep the big picture in mind.
  • You ruthlessly prioritize. You will have multiple responsibilities and projects. Being able to effectively manage your workload and meet deadlines is crucial.
  • You’re eager to continue your own learning. Scrappy and voracious, you want to know the ‘why’ behind every answer. You love to have healthy debates with fellow developers and colleagues about the product.

This role won’t be a fit if:

  • You’re not extremely detail oriented
  • You are not open to a hybrid role
  • You aren’t a self-starter and don’t like to work independently
  • You’re not comfortable wearing multiple hats
  • You don’t like change and adapting to new ways of doing things
  • You aren’t comfortable with ambiguity
  • You aren’t able to translate technical jargon into simple language
  • You lack patience for iterative work
  • You want detailed to-dos for your tasks and projects
  • You’re not keen on learning new things
  • You don’t have strong stakeholder management skills
  • You don’t like regular feedback on your work

Don’t meet every single requirement? If you’re excited about this role, and you strongly align with our values but your past experience doesn’t align perfectly, we encourage you to apply anyway. You may be the right candidate for this, or other future positions.

Benefits

...and perks of working at Float:

  • Competitive compensation & total rewards
  • Flexible work hours and time off‍ when you need to recharge
  • Small team = lots of autonomy to make an impact
  • Opportunity to work with and learn from a world-class team
