ICEYE delivers space-based intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities to governments and allied nations. As a Senior / Staff Platform Engineer, you’ll own and evolve the foundations that all services rely on, leading the design and operation of a secure, scalable Kubernetes platform across cloud and on-prem environments so product teams can ship faster with less friction and stronger reliability at scale.

• Design, operate, and continuously improve a secure, scalable, and resilient Kubernetes platform across cloud and on-prem environments
• Build and maintain standardized platform capabilities such as ingress, service mesh, secrets management, and lifecycle automation
• Develop reusable infrastructure patterns and Terraform modules for AWS and on-prem platforms to enable fast, auditable provisioning
• Strengthen observability through clear metrics, logs, traces, dashboards, and actionable alerting that support effective operational decisions
• Reduce platform friction for product teams by providing architectural guidance, platform standards, and hands-on enablement
• Automate platform lifecycle management including bootstrap, upgrades, scaling, and operational maintenance to reduce manual effort and risk
• Drive technical direction and sound architectural choices across platform engineering with pragmatic trade-offs between reliability, security, speed, and maintainability
• Help raise engineering maturity by mentoring others and shaping shared engineering standards across teams

• 8+ years of experience in Platform Engineering, SRE, DevOps, or infrastructure roles operating production-critical services at scale
• Deep hands-on expertise with Kubernetes, including cluster architecture, upgrades, control plane operations, networking, ingress, storage, security, and lifecycle management
• Strong understanding of AWS fundamentals, including networking, IAM, compute, storage, and security patterns
• Strong experience with Terraform and infrastructure as code, including reusable modules, abstractions, and scalable provisioning patterns
• Strong practical observability experience, including SLO and SLI design, instrumentation, dashboarding, alert strategy, and production performance analysis
• Proficiency in at least one backend language such as Python or Go for automation, tooling, and internal platform capabilities
• Experience providing technical leadership through platform standards, architectural guidance, and hands-on enablement
• Ability to operate effectively in complex environments and make pragmatic technical decisions across reliability, security, speed, and maintainability
• Будет плюсом: Experience with Rancher, Istio, External Secrets, Vault, and software supply-chain hardening practices; Experience operating Kubernetes in restricted, disconnected, or air-gapped environments; Experience with hybrid platforms spanning AWS and on-prem environments such as vSphere or VxRail
