Staff Platform Engineer

Who you are

• 7+ years of experience managing Linux-based cloud infrastructure
• Deep expertise in multi-region or multi-cloud resilience
• 3+ years of hands-on experience orchestrating production workloads in Kubernetes
• Strong coding proficiency in Go, Ruby, or Python, with a mindset focused on building scalable infrastructure tools
• Proven track record operating enterprise observability tools like Datadog to diagnose and resolve performance issues
• Hands-on experience with AI coding agents, with sound judgement about where their output needs verification
• Experience managing automated infrastructure provisioning using Terraform (or any similar IaC tool)
• Clear communication style with a track record of collaborating across engineering teams to solve complex platform problems

What the job involves

• Huntress is expanding our Platform Engineering team and looking for a Staff Platform Engineer who brings unshakeable resilience to complex infrastructure challenges
• In this role, you will build, monitor, and scale the core cloud infrastructure supporting our security platform
• You will step up to own platform infrastructure resilience and tackle complex problems across multi-region environments
• Variety is built into this role: one week you might author custom Kubernetes admission controllers, and the next you are tackling multi-region capacity failover automation or tracking down obscure memory leaks in production pods
• AI coding agents are part of how this team works, and you will be expected to use them to move faster without loosening the bar on what reaches production
• You will get a full handle on our infrastructure stack and drive high-impact roadmap initiatives that directly keep our production environment rock-solid
• We do not wait for permission to fix things here
• You will spot platform bottlenecks, step up with concrete solutions, and stay unshakeable under system chaos
• Beyond immediate infrastructure work, you will build a strong reputation across the engineering organization as a trusted technical partner who delivers measurable outcomes
• Design and enhance cloud infrastructure across multi-region and multi-cloud environments to improve service reliability, cost, and capacity failover
• Author custom Kubernetes tools, controllers, and infrastructure code using Terraform, Go, Python, or Ruby
• Support and extend observability infrastructure using Datadog to give deep visibility into system health and platform performance
• Diagnose and fix complex production issues, performance bottlenecks, and resource constraints across cloud environments
• Collaborate across engineering teams to guide software architecture choices and eliminate infrastructure pain points
