An Platform Engineer - Infrastructure builds and operates the foundational
platform that product engineering teams rely on — including internal developer
tools, automation systems, abstraction layers, and resilient infrastructure.

InfraPlatform engineers work as software engineers for infrastructure, focusing
on scale, reliability, developer productivity and cost efficiency.

They design internal tools and services that improve developer experience,
automate infrastructure lifecycle, enforce security/compliance, and maintain
high availability and performance across cloud environments.

✅ CORE RESPONSIBILITIES (EXPANDED)

1. BUILD & MAINTAIN INTERNAL DEVELOPER TOOLS (DEV PRODUCTIVITY)

InfraPlatform engineers create tooling that empowers 250+ developers to move
faster with less friction:

* In-house debugging or triage tools

* Self-service portals for infrastructure, logs, metrics, access

* Secrets management abstractions

These tools reduce friction, enforce standards, and boost developer velocity.

2. PLATFORM RELIABILITY, UPTIME & RESILIENCE ENGINEERING

InfraPlatform engineers think like SREs but build systems, not dashboards.

They are responsible for:

* Designing highly available systems (multi-AZ, multi-region)

* Automated failover, health checking, circuit breaking

* SLOs, error budgets, reliability KPIs

* Observability architecture (metrics, logs, tracing, profiling)

* Scaling infrastructure through automation (autoscalers, KEDA, controllers)

* Continuous chaos testing in staging

* Policy-as-code to enforce guardrails

Goal: platform downtime should not exceed the company SLO.

3. INFRASTRUCTURE AS CODE — MODULES, LIBRARIES & ABSTRACTIONS

InfraPlatform treats infra as a software product:

* Write Terraform/Pulumi/OpenTofu modules for teams to reuse

* Build opinionated abstractions (e.g
