What you’ll do as Platform Support Engineer

As a Platform Support Engineer you will be the first point of contact for 1,000+ developers, you’ll tackle complex technical issues across our stack - from cryptic Kubernetes errors to cloud database quirks - using your deep infrastructure expertise and problem-solving skills. You’ll own issues end-to-end, whether resolving them yourself, mobilizing experts, or guiding users to documentation.
This isn’t just firefighting-it’s about enabling innovation. By keeping our platform running smoothly, you empower developers to build the future of retail-without a hitch.

Yes, the learning curve is steep. But it’s also incredibly rewarding-especially with your team by your side.

You’re expected to be familiar with:
- Expertise in Linux, Kubernetes
- Experience with Infrastructure as Code (Puppet/Terraform/Config Connector)
- Experience with cloud platforms (GCP/AWS/Azure) and databases (PostgreSQL/Oracle).
- Knowledge of networking (NAT, firewalls, routing) and monitoring tools (Elasticsearch, Prometheus, Grafana).
- Understanding of CI/CD, security principles, and scripting (Bash/Python).

Bonus points if you also bring:
- Experience with automation tools
- Familiarity with ticketing systems and incident management
- Certifications like GCP Associate Cloud Engineer or Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA).
- Familiarity with GenAI and AI models (e.g., LLMs, ML workflows).

You’ll:

  • Troubleshoot a broad range of issues across our platform stack
  • Support engineers in setting up non-standard configurations while ensuring compliance
  • Know when to dive deep, when to point to documentation, and when to escalate
  • Collaborate with developers and SDMs to escalate complex issues-while maintaining ownership
  • Document solutions, share knowledge, and improve support processes
  • Learn and grow fast thanks to the diversity of challenges and technologies you’ll encounter

This is where you'll land

You bring clarity to chaos. You understand developer pain points and resolve them with empathy and precision. You communicate clearly, document thoroughly, and bring structure to the messiest situations.

You’re the kind of person who:
- Takes ownership and follows through
- Thrives in a fast-paced, ever-changing environment
- Enjoys helping others grow and sharing knowledge
- Brings order through process and proactive improvement
