Senior Staff Platform Engineer
Platform Engineer
Location: US - Remote Level: Senior Individual Contributor Team: Engineering
The Opportunity
Terzo's platform processes enterprise-scale document corpora, powers real-time AI agents, and serves the Financial Intelligence Graph to Fortune 500 customers who expect production-grade reliability. You will own the infrastructure that makes this possible including our cloud environments, data pipelines, compute orchestration, observability, and deployment systems.
You will build and operate the foundational infrastructure that every product team at Terzo ships on top of. This includes cloud infrastructure on Azure, data pipeline orchestration (Ray, Service Bus, CDC), CI/CD and deployment automation, observability and incident response, and the operational practices that keep the platform reliable as it scales. You are the person who ensures the rest of engineering can move fast without things breaking.
You might thrive in this role if you have
- 5+ years of experience building and operating production cloud infrastructure at scale
- Strong experience with infrastructure-as-code (Terraform) and cloud platform management, Azure is a plus.
- Solid understanding of container orchestration (Kubernetes, Docker) and modern deployment patterns
- Experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines, deployment automation, and developer tooling
- Comfort with observability systems including monitoring, alerting, logging, tracing
- Strong SRE instincts: you think in terms of SLOs, capacity planning, incident response, and eliminating toil through automation
You could be an especially great fit if you have
- Experience operating data infrastructure e.g. data pipelines, streaming systems, distributed compute
- Familiarity with distributed compute frameworks (Ray) or streaming technologies (Kafka, Azure Service Bus)
- Prior work in a B2B SaaS or enterprise data platform environment where uptime and data integrity are contractual
- Prior work at a high-growth startup where you built infrastructure foundations from the ground up, not just maintained them
