We’re looking for a Senior Engineer to help operate and evolve production platforms at scale. In this role, you’ll bring hands‑on experience, sound judgement, and a proactive mindset to help shape reliable, high‑performing systems.
You’ll be trusted to make informed trade‑offs, anticipate potential failure points, and guide the team using lessons learned from real‑world environments.

* Mentor team members and contribute to knowledge sharing across the engineering function
Requirements
* Proven experience managing and scaling production web platforms
