This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Senior Platform Engineer Role (DevOps) based in Mexico.

We are looking for an experienced Senior Platform Engineer to help build a modern platform engineering function from the ground up. In this high-impact individual contributor role, you will lead cloud modernization across AWS and Azure, establish robust site reliability engineering (SRE) and observability practices, and develop an Internal Developer Platform that empowers engineering teams to deliver software faster and more securely. You will design scalable infrastructure, automate cloud operations, and create standardized workflows that make self-service development possible. Working closely with engineering leadership and cross-functional teams, you will embed security, reliability, and cost efficiency into every layer of the platform. This is an opportunity to shape foundational architecture, influence engineering standards, and drive meaningful improvements across the software delivery lifecycle.

Accountabilities

- Cloud Modernization and Infrastructure as Code

- Re-architect and codify existing AWS and Azure infrastructure using OpenTofu/Terraform and Ansible, establishing reusable modules, remote state management, and GitOps-based infrastructure pipelines.

- Assess cloud environments against AWS and Azure Well-Architected Frameworks, prioritize remediation, and improve networking, identity and access management, landing zones, account structures, and cost governance.

- Implement policy-as-code using tools such as OPA, Conftest, AWS Service Control Policies,



and Azure Policy to enforce security, compliance, and resource-tagging standards.

- Build and maintain reusable infrastructure modules for compute, Kubernetes, networking, storage, databases, and identity services.

- Establish FinOps practices, including cost allocation, tagging standards, dashboards, resource rightsizing, and reserved capacity planning.

- Site Reliability Engineering and Observability

- Design and maintain an end-to-end observability stack covering metrics, logs, traces, and dashboards using technologies such as Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, Tempo, Datadog, and OpenTelemetry.

- Define service-level indicators (SLIs) and objectives (SLOs) for shared platform services and critical applications, supported by error budgets and burn-rate alerting.

- Establish SRE practices, including incident runbooks, post-incident reviews, and chaos engineering exercises.

- Collaborate with engineering teams to instrument services, develop actionable alerts, and build operational dashboards that improve service reliability.

- Develop compute and storage capacity-planning models to support informed scaling and infrastructure investment decisions.

- Internal Developer Platform and Automation

- Deploy and operate a centralized developer portal, such as Backstage or an equivalent solution,



providing a service catalog, scaffolding templates, documentation, runbooks, API references, and on-call ownership information.

- Create and maintain standardized development workflows for service creation, Kubernetes deployment, database provisioning, secrets management, and CI/CD configuration.

- Own the CI/CD platform layer, including reusable GitHub Actions or GitLab CI workflows, container build and scanning pipelines, and secure environment promotion processes.

- Manage Kubernetes platform operations across EKS and/or AKS, including cluster lifecycle, Helm standards, admission controllers, role-based access control (RBAC), network policies, and service mesh technologies.

- Build self-service provisioning capabilities that enable developers to deploy approved resources without manual ticket-based processes.

- Monitor platform adoption, gather developer feedback, and continuously improve workflows based on real-world needs.

- Security, Collaboration, and Technical Leadership

- Partner with engineering teams to plan and execute workload migrations, providing hands-on technical support throughout the transition.

- Integrate security controls into platform workflows, including infrastructure scanning, secrets management, access controls, and container image hardening.

- Produce clear technical documentation, architecture decision records, operational runbooks, and implementation guidance.

- Mentor junior platform engineers, contribute to architecture reviews, and support build-versus-buy decisions alongside engineering leadership.
