About this role

Astra is hiring for a Senior Platform Engineer role (full-time). See the official posting for full details.

Requirements

  • 5+ years in a platform engineering, infrastructure engineering, or backend engineering role with significant infrastructure ownership
  • Experience building or significantly maturing internal developer tooling, CI/CD systems, or service platforms, rather than only operating within an already-mature setup
  • Experience operating in a startup or small-team environment where you own meaningful infrastructure surface area and there isn't always a playbook
  • Direct experience with cloud infrastructure (GCP preferred, AWS or Azure also relevant) in production, including infrastructure-as-code
  • Track record of partnering closely with product engineering teams to unblock their work, not just maintaining infrastructure in isolation
  • Comfort operating independently on production infra (Terraform, IAM, CI/CD) without heavy review
  • Strong proficiency with infrastructure-as-code tools (e.g., Terraform, CloudFormation, Pulumi)
  • Experience with container orchestration (Kubernetes, ECS, or similar) and building CI/CD pipelines from the ground up
