Job Description
Your Role: Senior Platform Engineer
Join our Platform team and help shape the systems that power Global’s technology platforms.

Key Responsibilities
- Platform Engineering & Automation: Support, maintain, and enhance our application hosting and build platforms across AWS, Kubernetes, Jenkins, and GitHub. Develop automation and tooling using technologies such as Python, Java/Groovy, Go, and Terraform.
- Technical Leadership & Best Practice: Lead code reviews and champion engineering best practices across security, performance, maintainability, and testing. Contribute to technical standards and continuous improvement initiatives within the team.
- Operational Excellence & Collaboration: Maintain reliable production environments, improve observability and monitoring systems, and respond to proactive and reactive support alerts. Work collaboratively across the Technology department while mentoring and supporting other engineers.
