Here is a comprehensive Job Description for a Software Platform Engineer tailored for modern cloud-native software organizations and platform engineering teams.
Software Platform Engineer Location: [City, Country / Remote / Hybrid]
Department: Engineering / Platform & Infrastructure
Employment Type: Full-time
Job Summary We are seeking an experienced and systems-minded Software Platform Engineer to help build and evolve our Internal Developer Platform (IDP). In this role, you will bridge the gap between application development and cloud infrastructure. Your core mission is to empower our product engineering teams to build, ship, and scale software safely and autonomously by delivering automated self-service infrastructure, robust CI/CD pipelines, and golden paths for software delivery.
Key Responsibilities 1. Internal Developer Platform (IDP) & Automation Design, build, and maintain self-service developer tools, APIs, and portals (e.g., Backstage) to abstract infrastructure complexity for product engineering teams.

Build "golden paths" (standardized frameworks, templates, and service scaffolding) that enable engineering teams to create, test, and deploy services autonomously.

Reduce cognitive load for application developers by automating environment provisioning and deployment workflows.

2.



Cloud Infrastructure & Orchestration Design, provision, and maintain scalable, resilient, and secure cloud infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) .

Manage, tune, and scale production-grade Kubernetes clusters and container orchestration ecosystems.

Drive infrastructure cost optimization (FinOps), performance tuning, and capacity planning.

3. CI/CD & Delivery Engineering Build and maintain scalable, secure, and reliable CI/CD pipelines for microservice architectures.

Implement modern deployment strategies, including progressive delivery (canary releases, blue/green deployments, feature flags).

Integrate automated security scanning (SAST/DAST, dependency checks, image scanning) directly into the delivery pipeline.

4. Observability & Reliability Implement standardized observability tooling (logging, metrics, tracing, APM) across all services to ensure deep system visibility.

Partner with engineering teams to establish Service Level Objectives (SLO), Service Level Indicators (SLI), and error budgets.

Participate in on-call rotations and lead incident post-mortems to drive continuous system and process improvements.
