Auckland City, New Zealand Stuff Full time

Our **Platform Engineers**' primary function is to accelerate software development by building reliable, secure, and scalable infrastructure.

Key parts of this role are to take part in the design and development process and help to make the right trade-offs between performance, cost, security and reliability.

**Our stack**:
Our stack is cloud-focused, and it includes technologies such as AWS, Azure DevOps pipelines, Kong, Kubernetes, Terraform and Fastly.

**In this role, you will**:

- Ensure long-term scalability and maintainability of the wider Stuff Platform
- Implement best practices for modern infrastructure including infrastructure as code
- Design and implement reliable and scalable infrastructure in a cloud environment
- Proactively aim to lower the overall infrastructure cost
- Maintain and enhance automated build and deployment pipelines that help us ship high quality deployments on a regular basis
- Guide and unblock developers across multiple teams and get the right stuff done to push their product forward.
- Implement observability across a distributed set of services
- Define SLOs and error quotas for services destined to run in production
- Document configuration and processes to enable others to easily interact with the platform
- Support and be a critical part of our dev-ops culture, including participation in our out-of-hours on-call rota.

**What we're looking for**:

- ** You think production first** - our platform is the backbone of Stuff's business and you default to preserving its stability, scalability and security at all costs. You treat every change as critical.
- ** You believe that platform IS a product** - and you approach your development by prioritising the most impactful work: work that can multiply the effectiveness of other engineers.
- ** You are obsessed with metrics** - you believe that impact should be quantified and measured, and you take pride for every single inch of impact you and your team delivered.
- ** You are an excellent communicator and team player** - the Platform supports a large number of internal and external stakeholders and you understand that timely, efficient communication is essential in nurturing relationships with both your stakeholders and your team.
- ** You are solid in cloud native architectures** - you live and breathe cloud technologies, and you're deeply familiar with the stack you work with.

**Why Join Us**:

- Opportunity to lead a team of talented software engineers and shape the future of digital media in New Zealand.
- Work in a dynamic, collaborative, and innovative environment that fosters professional growth and creativity.
- Access to cutting-edge technologies and tools to support your work.
- Be part of a company that values diversity, inclusivity, and equity.
