Senior Platform Engineer

• As a senior engineer on our platform team, you’ll build the platform that lets Orb’s engineers — and, increasingly, AI agents — ship quickly and safely. That spans two layers: the infrastructure and developer platform (CI/CD, infrastructure-as-code, build systems, developer sandboxes and preview environments, and the observability that keeps our on-call humane), and the application platform — the framework primitives and abstractions that let product engineers build quickly and with high quality. This is a founding, high-autonomy role on a small and growing team, with room to shape both the technical direction and how AI-assisted development works at Orb
• Own and evolve our developer platform — CI/CD (including safe, progressive delivery), infrastructure-as-code, and the build system across a large multi-service codebase
• Build the application-platform primitives — frameworks, abstractions, and paved paths — that let product engineers ship quickly and with high quality
• Build tooling that lets engineers and AI agents develop against production-like environments quickly and safely: sandboxes, preview environments, and fast feedback loops
• Improve developer-facing observability and on-call health: better signal, fewer pages, faster diagnosis
• Push forward our investment in AI-assisted, agent-driven development — the primitives that make it effective and safe
• Partner with security to make our infrastructure and workflows safe by default

Preferred experience

• Excited about AI-assisted and agent-driven development, and want to help define what it looks like in a real engineering organization
• You take open-ended, ambiguous problems, define them yourself, and drive multi-quarter initiatives to completion with minimal oversight
• You’ve built platforms other engineers rely on, and you care about their reliability and day-to-day experience
• 5+ years of experience in software engineering, including owning a developer or application platform (or core infrastructure) at meaningful scale
• Deep hands-on experience with AWS, infrastructure-as-code (Terraform or similar), containers, and CI/CD
