🎯 The Role
At Joko, we’re entering a new stage of scale: over half a million active daily users, and zero-downtime expectations. As our Platform Engineer, you’ll shape and lead our platform efforts. You’ll be the first senior engineer focused on these topics, building on work currently spread across the team and turning it into a clear, reliable, high-leverage platform that helps everyone ship faster and safer.
✅ Key Responsibilities
Infrastructure & reliability: Own our production infrastructure end-to-end: resilience, capacity, and cost. You'll make our systems more robust as we grow, simplify where it makes sense, and turn infrastructure efficiency into a real business lever — not just an engineering concern.
Observability & incident response: Build the visibility layer that lets us catch problems before users do. You'll centralize logs and alerts across our tools, define what \"healthy\" looks like, and design an on-call experience that's sustainable — clear signals, fast response, no noise.
Security & access control: Raise the security bar in a way that scales with the team. From access management and secrets handling to compliance work and release hardening — you'll make security a natural part of how we ship, not a checkpoint at the end.
Developer experience & release quality: Treat engineering workflows as a product. You'll improve how we build, test, and release — making the right way the easy way, and giving teams the confidence that what they ship is solid before it reaches users.
AI-powered internal tooling: Help shape how we use AI internally: automation, agents, and tooling that multiply the execution capacity of every team. You'll contribute to a real shift in how we work — not by replacing engineers, but by removing the friction that slows them down.
Technical leadership: Define the platform roadmap, align stakeholders, and lead cross-team initiatives end-to-end. Bring structure and mentorship so platform practices become shared — not heroic individual efforts.
📌 Required Qualifications
Experience: 5+ years of software engineering experience, with significant time spent on platform, infrastructure, or reliability at scale. You've operated at a senior or staff level and you're ready to be the first dedicated owner of these topics.
Production reliability & scale: Strong track record operating and evolving production systems (observability, incident response, scalability, reliability patterns) in environments with real traffic and high expectations.
DevOps & automation mindset: You consistently improve how engineers ship—CI/CD, releases, automation, tooling—and you care about fast feedback loops and day-to-day developer productivity.
Strong software engineering foundations: You are a strong engineer first — you write clean, testable, maintainable code and bring that rigor to platform work. You're comfortable rolling up your sleeves and contributing directly to the codebase when needed, and you see that as a natural part of the job.
Cost/performance tradeoffs: You're comfortable making pragmatic architectural decisions that balance reliability, latency, and cloud costs, with a clear focus on impact.
Security fundamentals: You have solid infrastructure security basics (permissions/IAM, secrets, least privilege, hardening). You don't need to be a full-time security specialist, but you know how to raise the baseline.
Cloud & modern infrastructure: Experience with AWS
