Inclusively is partnering with a media accessibility company to hire a Staff Platform Engineer. **Please note: this role is NOT an internal position with Inclusively but with the partner company.**

ABOUT INCLUSIVELY:

Inclusively is a digital tech platform that empowers job seekers with disabilities, caregivers, and veterans by using Success Enablers–accommodations and personalized workplace modifications that help all job seekers reach their full potential and excel. This includes all disabilities under the ADA, including mental health conditions (e.g. anxiety, depression, PTSD), chronic illnesses (e.g. diabetes, Long COVID), and neurodivergence (e.g. autism, ADHD).

Create your profile, select Success Enablers, and connect to jobs from our partnered employers who are committed to creating diverse and inclusive teams. When registering, you must acknowledge that this platform is for people with disabilities, caregivers, and veterans. However, Inclusively does not require candidates to disclose their specific disability to join the platform.

Responsibilities:

  • Update our Kubernetes clusters, add-ons, and recipes
  • Optimize for a balance of performance, cost efficiency, resilience, and other outcomes
  • Bring residual legacy components into our shiny clusterized and containerized New World
  • Troubleshooting performance issues, tracing them back to root causes (e.g. “it was a database lock!”), and working with application teams to update their code for fixes (e.g. “index harder!”)
  • Build observability and monitoring tools, both basic instrumentation and resulting UI (e.g. dashboards, alerts)
  • Install security tools and hardening container images based on vulnerability scans and best practices
  • Improve our software delivery (“CI/CD”) pipeline and deployment processes
  • Scour AWS, Datadog, GitHub, and other services for places to add guardrails, reduce costs, or improve UX/DX
  • Support other dev teams with new platform, networking, and deployment features
  • Explore, prototype, and take to production new storage, compute, and networking features and strategies
  • Respond to performance, availability, and security issues
  • Make and keep the platform shipshape and Bristol fashion

If and Only If

  • Love cloud technology and building complex systems
  • Have strong command of AWS, Terraform, Kubernetes, Linux, containers, bash, and Python
  • Excel at problem-solving and proactive system design
  • Focus on getting quality work into production
  • Have experience operating infrastructure at scale (“not your first rodeo”)
  • Be self-motivated and work autonomously
  • Collaborate well
  • Be ever-curious, growing, and learning

It's not a fit if you:

  • Need constant oversight
  • Don't enjoy coding and automation
  • Dislike our stack (work on things you love!)
  • Struggle with complexity or documentation
  • Are resistant to AI tools or cloud environments
  • Prefer working alone (we are a team environment)
