Staff Platform Engineer

Title: Staff Platform Engineer Location: Remote

We are currently seeking an ambitious pace-setter to join our team as a Staff DevOps Engineer remotely in the US.

iFIT is looking for a hands-on Staff DevOps Engineer to join our platform infrastructure team. This is primarily an individual contributor role — roughly 75% hands-on engineering and 25% architecture and mentorship — where you will write Terraform, build GitHub Actions workflows, develop internal tooling and AI agents in TypeScript, and ship production infrastructure changes daily. If you are a deep technical practitioner who also enjoys influencing architecture and leveling up the engineers around you, we want to hear from you.

ROLE COMMITMENTS

• Eliminate toil through automation and self-service by building the modules and tooling that allow teams to stand up services, manage deployments, and resolve issues without routing through a platform engineer.
• Maintain platform health and delivery outcomes, including ownership of incident response and on-call management.
• Make the platform AI-native by investing heavily in modern AI-powered development workflows for routine maintenance.
• Optimize cloud platform costs across primary cloud infrastructure in AWS and third-party providers.
• Architect and advise teams to deploy novel systems including ML workflows, real-time events, and video streaming.

ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

• Own and evolve the Terraform estate at scale, including shared modules, state and versioning management, and migrations.
• Build and maintain the internal developer platform and delivery automation through GitHub Actions, ECS and Lambda deployment patterns, and AI agents for automation.
• Own and operate the core AWS platform including VPC, Transit Gateway, Route 53, CloudFront, IAM, SSO, and Secrets Manager.
• Drive reliability and operations through Datadog monitoring, participation in an on-call rotation, and incident response.
• Provide technical leadership and mentorship through RFCs, design review, code review, and cross-team influence without direct reports.

EDUCATION & EXPERIENCE
Education and Basic Qualifications

• 8+ years of experience in DevOps, platform engineering, or SRE.
• Deep expertise in AWS, Terraform, ECS/Fargate, and CI/CD pipelines.
• Strong proficiency in TypeScript with the ability to write production-quality code.
• Solid knowledge of IAM, SSO, and observability tooling.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience building internal developer platforms or improving developer experience.
• Proficiency in Python.
• Experience building LLM or AI agents.
• Datadog-as-code experience.
• Familiarity with AWS Organizations, policy as code, and security posture work.
