The Role
We’re looking for a Platform Engineer to improve the infrastructure, developer tooling, and delivery workflows used by more than 100 engineers. The role combines infrastructure and software development, with an approximate 65/35 split. You’ll work on cloud infrastructure, deployment automation, observability, CI/CD, and internal tooling. The goal is to make development and releases more reliable, efficient, and straightforward.
What you’ll do
- Improve developer experience and engineering productivity by building tools and workflows that make it easier for engineers to develop, test, and ship software.
- Maintain infrastructure automation with Ansible, Terraform, and Terragrunt.
- Improve the reliability and performance of our CI/CD workflows.
- Find the causes of slow builds, failed pipelines, and flaky tests.
- Develop internal tools, improve test infrastructure, and occasionally work on product features.
- Improve observability across our infrastructure and delivery workflows using OpenTelemetry, ELK.
- Leverage AI to improve engineering workflows by building cloud-based agent tools and helping teams adopt effective practices.
Our flexible work environment allows employees to live in greater connection with the people, places, and activities they love! Sensor Tower has a global presence, with teams across the world and available in most time zones.
We believe that "Simplicity is a prerequisite for reliability." We are looking for engineers who align with our core values:
- Simplicity: We avoid over-engineering. We prefer the tools we already have and the most straightforward solutions over "shiny new toys."
- Quality: We write code that is a pleasure to read because we know code is written once but read many times. We don't cut corners, and we polish to a high level before shipping.
- Extreme Ownership: We don't just do the minimum. We expect you to understand the "why" behind your work and own the ultimate goal of fixing problems at their root cause, avoiding temporary band-aids.
- Prioritization: We focus relentlessly on what is important, not just what is urgent.
What we’re looking for
- Experience developing and maintaining complex CI/CD workflows.
- Software development experience, such as building internal tools, APIs, backend services, or automation.
- Experience with AWS or another cloud provider.
- Telemetry and monitoring experience (OpenTelemetry, Grafana, Kibana).
- Strong Computer Science and System Design fundamentals.
- Willingness to learn and use Ruby and/or Go.
What we’d be particularly excited about
- Experience optimizing CI build times, especially with Jenkins.
- Experience with Docker or Kubernetes.
- Experience with Ruby, Python, or JavaScript.
- Familiarity with build systems such as Webpack or Gradle.
