We are looking for a Senior Platform Engineer to join the team. In coordination with the wider engineering team, you will be responsible for developing the Artsy platform, with a focus on the infrastructure and developer tooling that enables our product teams. Our platform is continuously changing, and this role will play a key part in shaping how we evolve and scale our systems.
🏢 About Artsy Engineering
Artsy's engineering principles are open source. We encourage knowledge building and sharing within the larger tech community through open source software, blog posts, and other free resources. Artsy would rather proudly discover (and improve) an existing tool than build it ourselves from scratch. Through our work, we try to create more value than we capture. That means that when we learn something new, we try to share that knowledge through blog posts and open source documentation.
🎯 The Role
This role is fully remote, and we're open to candidates located anywhere across the LATAM region. You will be responsible for developing the Artsy platform, with a focus on the infrastructure and developer tooling that enables our product teams. The platform is core to Artsy’s ability to ship reliably and efficiently, and this role will work collaboratively to define the systems, practices, and tooling required to run a world-class product.
✅ Key Responsibilities
Shape how we run Kubernetes on AWS, focusing on scalability, reliability, and usability, and improving cluster architecture, deployment patterns, and operational practices.
Design and improve CI/CD pipelines and developer workflows to enable fast, safe, and repeatable deployments.
Manage our cloud infrastructure and resources using Terraform.
Work cross-functionally with product engineers to understand their needs and enable them through tooling, automation, and best practices.
Help manage our Cloudflare configuration including DNS, WAF, and other Cloudflare product offerings.
Work with multiple languages, including Python, scripting languages, JavaScript/TypeScript, Ruby, and C#.
Act as the in-house expert on networking issues.
Contribute to a collaborative engineering culture that works in the open and assumes good intent from colleagues.
Evaluate complex systems and suggest, design, and implement improvements up and down the tech stack.
📌 Required Qualifications
You enjoy building and evolving platforms that enable other engineers to move faster and more safely.
You have experience working with Kubernetes in production environments (ideally EKS on AWS).
You have strong experience with CI/CD systems and believe in automation-first workflows.
You have worked in a platform or infrastructure role where you provided both tooling and guidance to product teams.
You understand how to deliver business value with sound technical decision-making and can communicate trade-offs to different audiences.
You are comfortable owning systems and working collaboratively with others to ensure they can use those systems successfully.
You can comfortably troubleshoot networking and transport layer issues and leverage the tooling necessary to do so at scale.
⭐ Desirable Experience
Have experience with observability tooling (e.g., Datadog, GCP Logging, etc).
Have experience optimizing cloud infrastructure for cost and performance.
Have experience with security best practices in cloud-native environments.
Have experience with cloud migrations.
Have experience with Windows Servers.
Have experience with Lucene search, e.g., Elasticsearch, OpenSearch, SOLR.
Have experience diagnosing issues with data pipelines and airflow.
🎁 Benefits
Salary: $84K – $96K • Offers Equity
