Platform Engineer

Position Title: Senior Platform Engineer (DevOps/SRE)

Location: Long Beach, California, United States

What you will be doing:

This is not a standard DevOps posting. We are looking for one unusually capable, AI-native engineer to own our entire platform engineering and SRE function — using autonomous

agents, LLM-powered pipelines, and MCP-based tooling as force multipliers to do the work of a team, on-site, in close partnership with our engineering leadership.

You will inherit a mature, fully containerized AWS estate (9 EKS clusters, 27 accounts, 228 Kubernetes nodes), an Akamai CDN layer managing live traffic splits, GitHub Actions + Jenkins

CI/CD pipelines for a Webpack 5 micro-frontend monorepo, and an operational AI agent platform — OpsWhisperer — already in production monitoring 25 AWS accounts with a 91% autonomous resolution.

Required Skills & Experience

To excel in this role, you should possess:

● 10+ years of hands-on DevOps, SRE, or platform engineering experience in production AWS cloud environments.

● Deep AWS expertise: EKS, EC2, SQS, CloudWatch, IAM, Organizations, and multi-account architectures

● Strong Experience with Infrastructure as code tools like terraform or cloudformation

● Strong Kubernetes skills: cluster operations, node group management, workload isolation, taints/tolerations, auto-scaling

● Experience with Akamai or equivalent enterprise CDN — configuration, purge operations, traffic routing rules

● CI/CD ownership: GitHub Actions and/or Jenkins pipeline design, monorepo build systems, release gating

● Production experience building or operating AI agents — LLM integration, autonomous workflow design, prompt engineering

● Proficiency in Node.js and/or Python for automation, tooling, and MCP server development

● Observability stack ownership: Elastic/Kibana, log analysis, alerting design, SLO/SLI instrumentation

● Comfortable owning on-call responsibility for a production e-commerce platform with significant revenue exposure

● Strong written and verbal communication, will interface with engineering leadership and present findings to executives

Soft Skills:

● Strong problem-solving and debugging skills

● Excellent communication and collaboration abilities

● Ability to work independently and take ownership of projects

● Leadership and mentorship mindset

● Attention to detail and commitment to high-quality user experiences

Why you will love GTS:

● Join a powerful tech workforce and help us change the world through technology

● Professional development opportunities with international customers

● Collaborative work environment

● Career path and mentorship programs that will lead to new levels.
