The Opportunity

The DevOps Platform team builds & operates the shared infrastructure foundation that powers all of DoubleVerify's engineering teams. We're the team behind the platforms processing billions of events dailyKubernetes clusters spanning cloud & data centers, streaming & data systems, workflow orchestration, & the observability stack that keeps everything running. As a Senior Platform Engineer, you'll own critical infrastructure that hundreds of developers depend on every day. This isn't about keeping the lights onit's about building resilient, self-service platforms that make complex distributed systems simple to operate. You'll work with cutting-edge technologies (Kubernetes, Kafka, Aerospike, ArgoCD, Envoy) & have the autonomy to define standards & shape how DV's infrastructure evolves as the company scales. If you love building platforms that other engineers love using, this is your role.

What You'll Achieve

Own Company-Wide Infrastructure Platforms

• Design, deploy, & operate Kubernetes platforms across GCP, AWS, & data center environments that serve as the foundation for 100+ engineering teams
• Build & maintain critical shared services: streaming (Kafka), data storage (Aerospike), workflow orchestration (Airflow), & observability (Prometheus, Grafana) that process billions of events with 99.9%+ reliability

Elevate Developer Experience

• Create tooling & automation that transforms complex platform operations into simple self-service workflowsempowering developers while maintaining security & stability
• Drive CI/CD evolution by building operators, controllers, & management tools that reduce toil & accelerate deployment velocity

Shape Infrastructure Standards

• Partner with product teams from day one to ensure new features integrate cleanly & reliably into DV's infrastructure, preventing technical debt before it happens
• Define & promote best practices for automation, observability, security, & maintainability that scale across the organization

Lead Technical Projects

• Plan & deliver high-impact infrastructure initiatives in collaboration with multidisciplinary DevOps, SRE, & engineering teams across US, Israel, & Europe
• Use metrics, logs, & traces to proactively identify & resolve performance bottlenecks, turning insights into lasting improvements

What You'll Bring

Required:

• 5+ years in DevOps, Platform Engineering, or SRE roles operating production infrastructure at scale
• 3+ years hands-on experience with Kubernetes in production environments (bonus if you've owned/managed a K8s platform)
• Strong cloud platform expertise in GCP or AWS (multi-cloud experience valued)
• Software engineering mindset - you write code (Python, Go, Bash) to solve infrastructure problems, not just configure tools
• Observability-driven troubleshooting - you're comfortable diving into metrics, logs, & traces to diagnose distributed system issues
• Platform thinking - you design for reliability, scalability, & developer experience, not just "getting it working"

Nice to Have:

• Hands-on experience with Kafka, Aerospike, ArgoCD, or Airflow in production
• Background with service mesh technologies (Envoy Gateway, Istio)
• Experience with GitOps workflows & infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, Crossplane)
• Contributions to open-source platform tooling or CNCF projects
• Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) practices & culture

Beyond the Resume:

• Empathy for developers - you care deeply about improving the experience of engineers using your platforms
• Systems thinker - you see the big picture & understand how components interact across distributed systems
• Strong communicator - you can explain complex infrastructure concepts to application developers & collaborate across teams
• Initiative & ownership - you don't wait to be told what to do; you identify problems & drive solutions

Your Tech Stack

Core Infrastructure:

• Cloud: GCP (primary), AWS
• Orchestration: Kubernetes (GKE, on-prem), ArgoCD, Helm, Kyverno
• Service Mesh: Envoy Gateway
• IaC: Terraform, Crossplane

Data & Streaming:

• Streaming: Kafka
• Databases: Aerospike (NoSQL), various SQL systems
• Workflow: Airflow

Observability & Testing:

• Monitoring: Prometheus, Mimir, Grafana, Grafana Alloy
• Load Testing: K6
• Tracing & Logging: Distributed across the stack

Access & Security:

• Access Management: Teleport
• Policy Enforcement: Kyverno, custom admission controllers
• CI/CD: GitLab CI/CD, GitHub Actions
