Platform Engineer - Infra & Security Team

Show

🎯 Atlys’ mission is to enable every person on earth to travel freely.

At Atlys, we’re building the infrastructure that makes international travel seamless, driven by a clear vision to remove friction and uncertainty from global travel. Today, visas and travel documentation remain some of the most frustrating, time-consuming, and unpredictable parts of the journey. Our goal is to solve this through technology, making global travel faster, simpler, and far more predictable.

Building the future of global mobility is one of the most exciting opportunities of this decade, and we’re only getting started.

We're hiring a Platform Engineer to join our Infra & Security team. This is a hands-on engineering role where you'll work directly on our GKE clusters, CI/CD pipelines, and observability stack to keep our systems reliable and scalable as we process visas across multiple countries.

This isn’t a checkbox operations role — you’ll be building infrastructure, troubleshooting production issues, and driving reliability improvements across the platform.

The Job

  • Manage and optimize Kubernetes (GKE) clusters, including deployments, scaling, resource management, and upgrades

  • Maintain self-hosted PostgreSQL databases — performance tuning, backups, storage, and high availability

  • Own and improve GCP infrastructure including networking, IAM, storage, and compute resources

  • Debug production issues across the stack, from container networking to database performance

  • Build and improve CI/CD pipelines for fast, reliable deployments, with strong security guardrails

  • Maintain and enhance observability systems (Grafana, Loki, Prometheus), including alerting and visibility

  • Enable better debugging and performance analysis through improved monitoring and tracing capabilities

  • Plan and execute infrastructure migrations, upgrades, and disaster recovery processes

  • Manage vulnerabilities across infrastructure, including VMs and containers

  • Build internal tools and automation scripts (Python/Bash) to improve developer productivity and reduce manual effort

  • Collaborate closely with engineering teams to improve deployment, debugging, and overall workflows

The ideal candidate

  • 1.5–3 years of hands-on experience in DevOps, SRE, or Platform Engineering roles

  • Strong ownership mindset with a bias for action

  • Experience working with Kubernetes and debugging containerized environments

  • Familiarity with GCP services (GKE, VPC, IAM, Cloud Storage, etc.)

  • Solid understanding of PostgreSQL fundamentals, including performance and backups

  • Good grasp of networking concepts like DNS, load balancing, VPCs, and firewalls

  • Experience building or maintaining CI/CD pipelines

  • Hands-on experience with observability tools like Prometheus, Grafana, or Loki

  • Comfortable scripting in Python and Bash for automation

  • Prior exposure to development environments and workflows

  • Strong communication skills and ability to work closely with developers

  • Comfortable in fast-paced startup environments
