Platform Engineer

The team is currently growing, and this hire will work directly with accomplished founders who have built Scripbox and Vedantu, giving unmatched exposure to architecture, product decisions and company-building. This is an ideal opportunity for engineers who enjoy coding, cloud infrastructure, platform engineering and building systems from scratch while having a meaningful impact on both the product and the organisation from an early stage.

Responsibilities:

• Design, build, and operate highly reliable cloud infrastructure supporting modern distributed applications.
• Develop automation and platform tooling using Python and Infrastructure as Code to improve engineering productivity and operational efficiency.
• Build and maintain scalable cloud infrastructure across AWS, GCP, or Azure using Terraform and modern cloud-native practices.
• Design and enhance observability solutions using Prometheus, Grafana, distributed tracing, and related monitoring technologies.
• Improve deployment workflows through CI/CD automation, GitOps practices, and infrastructure automation.
• Participate in incident response, troubleshoot production issues, and continuously improve platform reliability and resiliency.
• Build intelligent automation around monitoring, alerting, diagnostics, and operational workflows.
• Contribute to the design and development of next-generation observability and reliability products.
• Collaborate closely with the founding team on architecture decisions, platform design, and product development.
• Continuously improve scalability, reliability, security, and developer experience while working in a highly collaborative, ownership-driven engineering culture.

Requirements:

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.
• 2-4 years of experience in Platform Engineering, Cloud Engineering, Site Reliability Engineering, or Infrastructure Engineering.
• Strong hands-on experience with at least one cloud platform (AWS, GCP, or Azure) in production environments.
• Strong proficiency in Infrastructure as Code using Terraform.
• Good programming skills in Python or any modern programming language, with a focus on automation and tooling.
• Hands-on experience with Kubernetes and containerised workloads.
• Experience building automation for infrastructure provisioning, deployments, operational workflows, or platform tooling.
• Strong understanding of Linux systems, networking fundamentals, and cloud-native architectures.
• Experience working with observability and monitoring tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, or similar.
• Good understanding of CI/CD pipelines, GitOps workflows, and infrastructure automation.
• Experience working on large-scale distributed systems and production infrastructure is preferred.
• Exposure to OpenTelemetry, security best practices, and open-source technologies is an added advantage.
• Excellent problem-solving, debugging, and communication skills with the ability to work in a fast-paced startup environment.
