Senior Platform Engineer (Remote) — Proxify AB

# What this job is

The position is remote and distributed through Proxify's talent network. The posting frames the role as platform-product work: you will create self-service infrastructure abstractions, automated CI/CD capabilities, and guardrails that reduce operational toil for product developers.

# Core technical expectations

You must bring substantial hands-on experience in platform engineering, SRE, or core DevOps. The posting calls for:

• 5+ years of relevant experience designing and delivering IDPs or similar platform layers.
• Expert-level Kubernetes administration and custom controller/operator design.
• Experience with service meshes such as Istio or Linkerd.
• Strong GitOps knowledge using ArgoCD or Flux for continuous delivery.
• Infrastructure-as-code expertise using Terraform, OpenTofu, or Pulumi across public clouds (AWS, GCP, Azure).
• Programming fluency in Go or Python for building platform extensions, CLIs, and operators.

# Platform features you'll build and own

Responsibilities listed in the posting are concrete and operational:

• Operate GitOps delivery pipelines with ArgoCD/Flux, and implement safe deployment strategies like canary and blue-green with automated rollbacks.
• Maintain cluster health across multi-region Kubernetes deployments, including upgrades, autoscaling, and security policies.
• Write production-grade Go/Python code for custom operators, CLI utilities, and API integrations to streamline developer workflows.
• Implement platform-wide SLI/SLO tracking and a centralized logging/tracing stack using Prometheus, Grafana, and OpenTelemetry.
• Enforce automated security and cost-compliance policies across environments.

# Nice-to-have skills

The posting also lists optional but valuable experience:

• Crossplane or cloud-native control plane abstractions.
• FinOps exposure and container cost-monitoring tools such as Kubecost.
• Contributions to CNCF or other open-source cloud-native projects.
• Experience with zero-trust controls, secrets management (HashiCorp Vault), and compliance automation.

# What Proxify offers

Proxify frames benefits for talent sourced through their network:

• On-time monthly payments and flexible withdrawal options.
• Predictable full-time hours with consistent 8-hour working days for client positions.
• Up to 24 flex days off per year for full-time roles placed via Proxify.
• Access to long-term remote positions and a simplified contracting process once onboarded.

# Who should apply

This role is for senior platform or SRE engineers who prefer product-oriented platform work and have deep Kubernetes, GitOps, and infrastructure-as-code experience. Candidates should be comfortable writing production code (Go or Python), operating multi-region clusters, and owning observability and security standards across environments.

# How the role is positioned

The posting emphasizes practical platform ownership: build reusable infrastructure blueprints, create developer-facing abstractions, and automate delivery and compliance so application teams can move faster with less operational dependency.
