About the Role:
Fetch’s next step in evolving our engineering velocity requires a Senior Platform Engineer. In this role, you’ll own major pieces of Fetch’s platform strategy — building standardized, cloud-native platforms that enable developers to move faster while keeping our systems secure, scalable, and resilient.
You’ll lead by example: designing paved paths, mentoring engineers, and delivering automation that turns operational friction into developer velocity. You’ll play a critical role in advancing initiatives like multi-region resiliency, observability standardization, cost anomaly monitoring, and testing in production.
This is a full-time role that can be held from one of our US offices or remotely in the United States.

- Modern IaC & App Delivery: Architect and enforce Terraform standards (module catalogs, policy-as-code with OPA/Conftest), manage Kubernetes apps via Helm (charts, repos), and implement GitOps (Argo CD/Flux) for progressive delivery and compliance.
- Accelerate Developer Experience: Deliver self-service infrastructure, opinionated deployment patterns, and automation that enable teams to ship faster with confidence.
- Advance Reliability & Resilience: Lead implementation of autoscaling, canary releases, anomaly detection, rollback automation, and disaster recovery patterns.
- Cross-Functional Influence: Collaborate with Engineering, Product, Finance, and Security to align platform investments with organizational goals.
- Mentorship & Leadership: Guide engineers in platform best practices, review designs, and raise the technical bar across the org.
In your Toolbox (Minimum Requirements):
- 5+ years of experience in platform, DevOps, or SRE roles.
- Strong proficiency in one or more programming languages (Python, Go, or Java).
- Expert-level experience with AWS (multi-account, ECS/EKS, IAM, cloud networking).
- Deep knowledge of containerization, orchestration, and Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Ansible, CDK, or CloudFormation).
- Track record of designing and delivering production-grade, scalable platform solutions.
- Proven ability to collaborate across teams and influence technical direction.
Nice to haves/Bonus Points (Preferred Requirements):
- Experience standardizing developer platforms at scale.
- Hands-on with observability (OTEL), cost anomaly monitoring, or incident automation.
- Background in disaster recovery planning, multi-region architectures, and production safety (canaries, rollbacks).
- History of mentorship, technical leadership, or cross-team platform initiatives.
- Systematic problem-solving mindset and strong sense of ownership.
