Platform Engineer (Senior, Staff, or Principal level)
United States
Full-time
Remote
Senior Level, Lead/StaffQuilter is a company focused on automating the design of printed circuit boards to help electrical engineers. They are seeking a Senior, Staff, or Principal-level Platform Engineer to join their Platform team, where the role involves building developer-facing tools and enhancing CI/CD pipelines to improve engineering efficiency.
Artificial Intelligence (AI)ElectronicsSoftware
Responsibilities
Build developer-facing tooling, SDKs, and wrappers that abstract away Kubernetes, workflow, and infra details so engineers can compose and run secure cloud processes without becoming infra experts
Design and harden CI/CD pipelines with faster feedback, per-MR preview environments, and reduced flakiness
Deliver dashboards and shared observability: cost, reliability, performance — consumable by engineers and leadership
Partner with engineering teams to codify repeatable workflow patterns into libraries and templates
Play a central role in rebuilding our workflow orchestration platform, helping design core primitives and abstractions that power Quilterʼs AI workloads
Build language-native wrappers and tooling around workflow features, making advanced orchestration accessible as simple SDK calls
Implement secure by default systems: secrets management, auditability, least-privilege defaults, and bastions
Help define and enforce SRE practices — incident response, playbooks, SLIs/SLOs, backup/restore automation
Shape the foundation of the Platform team itself: standards, processes, and culture that emphasize self-service systems over tickets
Qualification
Required
Strong software engineering background — you're comfortable writing production-quality Python (and ideally Typescript/Go) code, not just YAML or scripts
Experience building developer productivity tooling (SDKs, CLI tools, CI/CD pipelines, internal dashboards, preview envs)
Practical Kubernetes fluency — able to design and debug workloads, tune autoscaling and apply common patterns without needing to be a deep internals expert
Hands-on with Kubernetes + workflow platforms – Argo Workflows, Airflow, Prefect, Temporal, etc
Proficient with infrastructure-as-code and containerization — able to design and maintain Docker-based services and manage infrastructure with modern IaC tools (Terraform preferred)
Solid grounding in cloud infrastructure (AWS preferred) — compute, storage, networking, IAM, cost controls
Familiarity with observability stacks, such as Prometheus, Grafana, OpenCost, Loki/Tempo/OTel
Comfort operating in high-scale, compute-intensive environments (e.g. ML training, batch/parallel workloads)
Bias toward building paved roads and abstractions that make other engineers faster
Preferred
Prior experience in a Platform or DevProd team at a startup
Background in ML Ops foundations — training pipelines, model artifact management, GPU workloads
Familiarity with on-prem or hybrid deployment patterns (networking, packaging, observability bundles)
Knowledge of compliance frameworks (SOC 2, ISO27001, ITAR, GDPR) and how they affect infra decisions
Exposure to multi-tenant SaaS or Bring Your Own Cloud architectures
Contributions to open-source infra/dev-tooling projects
Benefits
Health, dental, and vision insurance
Regular team events and offsites (~2x / year)
Unlimited paid time off
Paid parental leave
