Job Level
About the role
- Design, build, and own platform services that power app lifecycle, distribution, and runtime at Atlan
- Architect systems that support enterprise-grade reliability, scalability, and multi-tenancy
- Lead complex initiatives end-to-end — from design and RFCs to rollout and long-term ownership
- Build and evolve cloud-native infrastructure on Kubernetes across AWS/GCP
- Solve hard distributed systems problems: noisy-neighbor isolation, tenant-aware scaling, fault tolerance, and observability
- Partner closely with teams across App Runtime, Distribution, Builder Experience, Product, and Infra to make aligned platform decisions
- Act as a technical leader and multiplier — reviewing designs, mentoring engineers, and setting platform best practices
- Write production-grade code, leveraging AI-assisted development tools (Claude, Cursor) as a force multiplier
- Contribute to architectural documentation, RFCs, and long-term platform strategy
Requirements
- 8+ years of experience building and operating large-scale backend or platform systems
- Deep expertise in Kubernetes, containerization, and orchestration in production environments
- Strong hands-on experience with cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, or Azure), including networking, compute, storage, and security
- Proven experience operating systems at scale—high traffic, distributed, or mission-critical platforms
- Strong understanding of platform engineering principles: reliability, automation, self-service, and developer experience
- Experience designing systems with high availability, fault tolerance, and deep observability
- Demonstrated AI-native mindset:
- You design platforms assuming non-deterministic workloads
- You think in terms of automation, leverage, and feedback loops
- You’ve supported or built infrastructure for AI/ML or AI-powered systems
- Hands-on experience leveraging AI in your own development workflow to increase speed, quality, and leverage
- Ability to operate at Staff+ level: owning ambiguous problem spaces, driving architecture, and influencing across teams
Benefits
- Ownership from Day One: Whether you're an intern or a full-time teammate, you’ll own impactful projects, chart your growth, and collaborate with some of the best minds in the industry.
- Limitless Opportunities: At Atlan, your growth has no boundaries. If you’re ready to take initiative, the sky’s the limit.
