About the role
Turion Space is seeking an experienced Senior Platform Engineer to join our platform engineering team. This role requires advanced expertise in CI/CD practices, cloud services (particularly AWS), containerization, and infrastructure as code. While our current infrastructure primarily uses AWS, we're building our platform and products with infrastructure agnosticism in mind - whether cloud or on-premises. The ideal candidate will contribute to the design and implementation of our internal developer platforms while assisting with our current infrastructure needs.
If you are passionate about space technology, thrive in building scalable platform solutions, and have the skills to significantly contribute to our platform engineering initiatives, we want to hear from you.
Key Responsibilities
Platform Development:
- Design and drive implementation of internal developer platforms and self-service tools
- Develop abstraction layers that enable infrastructure portability across different deployment targets
- Build and optimize reusable infrastructure components and templates, ensuring cross-environment portability
- Design and implement platform APIs and tools that abstract away infrastructure-specific details
- Establish cloud-agnostic observability and monitoring solutions
- Define and implement standardized deployment patterns and workflows
- Architect and enhance our container orchestration platform improvements
- Develop comprehensive platform documentation and training materials
- Guide development teams in their transition to self-service capabilities
Immediate Impact:
- Help maintain and optimize existing AWS infrastructure and deployment pipelines
- Support immediate production issues and deployments
- Assist in implementing security best practices across our platform and infrastructure
