Job Description

Platform Engineer nOps is a Series A FinOps platform managing over $5B in cloud spend across AWS, Azure, and GCP. We help engineering and finance teams gain real-time cloud cost visibility and achieve autonomous optimization. nOps is looking for a Platform Engineer to help own our core cloud infrastructure and platform engineering function. This is a high-autonomy, high-impact role: working alongside our lead software engineer, you'll be responsible for keeping our multi-cloud platform running, secure, and scalable — with an eye toward building infrastructure resilient enough to largely take care of itself. You'll work directly with engineering leadership and cross-functional teams to help drive infrastructure strategy, not just execute tickets. This role suits someone who wants deep ownership over a broad, consequential piece of the stack rather than a narrow slice of a much larger platform team. In this role, you'll spend as much energy building the automation and guardrails that prevent problems as you will responding to the ones that slip through. Own and evolve multi-cloud infrastructure across AWS, Azure, and GCP, including compute, networking, storage, and cost/billing systems Design and maintain Infrastructure-as-Code (OpenTofu/Terraform) for provisioning, tagging, and governance across environments Manage IAM and access controls at scale: trust policies, service control policies (SCPs), role chaining, and OIDC federation Operate and scale container orchestration platforms, including EKS, GKE, and ECS clusters supporting production workloads Build and maintain data pipelines, including billing/cost data pipelines (e.g., GCP BigQuery, Databricks, CUR/FOCUS exports) Support and extend internal AI agent tooling used for DevOps and platform workflows Own observability tooling and practices: metrics, logging, and alerting across the platform Lead incident response for platform and infrastructure issues, from triage through resolution and postmortem Partner with engineering leadership to set technical direction for platform investments and priorities Document systems and processes to support knowledge continuity across the org What We're Looking For 3+ years of experience as a platform or infrastructure engineer Deep, hands-on experience with AWS IAM (trust policies, SCPs, role chaining, OIDC federation) and broader AWS architecture Experience with OpenTelemetry and observability instrumentation Strong experience operating Kubernetes in production, ideally EKS or GKE Experience with GCP, including billing/cost data and BigQuery Proficiency with OpenTofu or Terraform for infrastructure-as-code at scale Experience owning CI/CD tooling and pipelines A track record of leading or heavily contributing to incident response Comfort operating as an autonomous individual contributor who owns infrastructure end to end — someone who can set direction, not just follow it Motivated to build systems stable and well-automated enough that they run themselves — your input should be needed only when something actually fails, not for routine upkeep Strong written communication skills; this role requires clear documentation and cross-functional coordination Bonus: experience with cloud cost management/FinOps domains Bonus: experience building or integrating internal AI/agent tooling Why This Role Matters This is a foundational role at nOps. Whoever fills it will inherit and shape the infrastructure, tooling, and practices that the entire engineering org depends on daily. nOps.io
