We are looking for a Senior Platform Engineer to be the founding member of Burq’s Platform team — the function that owns our engineering foundations: infrastructure, security, CI/CD, and reliability
Right now, our infrastructure runs on AWS with a combination of ECS, RDS, ElastiCache, SQS, and Step Functions
We have a strong contractor advising us, but we need a full-time engineer who can own this domain, execute on a significant infrastructure roadmap, and make every product team faster as a result
This is a high-leverage, high-ownership role
You will be designing and building the platform that Burq scales on for the next several years
Own and execute the AWS account split — separating production, staging, and development into clean isolated environments
Lead the Aurora DB production migration with support from our infrastructure advisor
Manage and evolve our ECS Fargate services, RDS clusters, ElastiCache, SQS queues, and ALB configuration
Own Terraform — infrastructure as code, not click-ops
Harden IAM — developer permission sets, production access controls, least-privilege enforcement
Audit and lock down public S3 buckets
Enable AWS Config and Security Hub across all accounts
Own SOC 2 Type 2 readiness maintenance in partnership with Sprinto
Coordinate external penetration test cadence
Own and improve our GitHub Actions CI/CD pipelines — build times, test reliability, deployment velocity
Build out PR stack environments so product teams can test independently
Drive the local development stack initiative — Docker Compose-based environments that replace shared preprod
Integrate AI-assisted testing into the CI pipeline
Own CloudWatch dashboards spanning ALB, ECS, RDS, ElastiCache, SQS, and target group health
Lead post-incident reviews and ensure every incident produces a runbook entry
Partner with product teams to distribute platform work as a standing sprint allocation — not a separate queue
