Original job description

We are looking for a Senior Platform Engineer to be the founding member of Burq's Platform team - the function that owns our engineering foundations: infrastructure, security, CI/CD, and reliability.

Right now, our infrastructure runs on AWS with a combination of ECS, RDS, ElastiCache, SQS, and Step Functions. We have a strong contractor advising us, but we need a full-time engineer who can own this domain, execute on a significant infrastructure roadmap, and make every product team faster as a result.

This is a high-leverage, high-ownership role. You will be designing and building the platform that Burq scales on for the next several years.

Infrastructure

  • Own and execute the AWS account split - separating production, staging, and development into clean isolated environments
  • Lead the Aurora DB production migration with support from our infrastructure advisor
  • Manage and evolve our ECS Fargate services, RDS clusters, ElastiCache, SQS queues, and ALB configuration
  • Own Terraform - infrastructure as code, not click-ops

Security & Access

  • Harden IAM - developer permission sets, production access controls, least-privilege enforcement
  • Audit and lock down public S3 buckets
  • Enable AWS Config and Security Hub across all accounts
  • Own SOC 2 Type 2 readiness maintenance in partnership with Sprinto
  • Coordinate external penetration test cadence

CI/CD & Developer Experience

  • Own and improve our GitHub Actions CI/CD pipelines - build times, test reliability, deployment velocity
  • Build out PR stack environments so product teams can test independently
  • Drive the local development stack initiative - Docker Compose-based environments that replace shared preprod
  • Integrate AI-assisted testing into the CI pipeline

Observability & Reliability

  • Own CloudWatch dashboards spanning ALB, ECS, RDS, ElastiCache, SQS, and target group health
  • Lead post-incident reviews and ensure every incident produces a runbook entry
  • Partner with product teams to distribute platform work as a standing sprint allocation - not a separate queue

Requirements

  • 5+ years of engineering experience with 3+ years focused on infrastructure and platform engineering
  • Deep AWS expertise - ECS, RDS, S3, IAM, CloudWatch, SQS, Lambda, account architecture
  • Terraform proficiency - you write infrastructure as code and know why it matters
  • Strong CI/CD background - GitHub Actions, deployment pipelines, environment management
  • Security-minded - you know how to harden systems without creating friction for product engineers
  • Experience with observability tooling - CloudWatch, Datadog, or equivalent
