Description
About Fortanix:
In today's world, where data spreads across various clouds and devices, traditional security measures aren't enough. Businesses need a dynamic approach to defend against constant cyber threats and ensure agile data security. Fortanix leads the way in data-centric cybersecurity for hybrid multicloud environments, using advanced cryptography, encryption, and confidential AI solutions.
As data breaches become more frequent and traditional defenses fall short, we focus on data exposure management to keep your information safe. Our unified data security platform addresses vulnerabilities in hybrid multicloud environments, defends against threats, and makes it easier to discover, assess, and fix data exposure risks. Whether implementing a Zero Trust model or preparing for the post-quantum computing era, we help businesses worldwide protect their most sensitive data, wherever it is.
Our commitment to solving the world’s toughest data security challenges has earned Fortanix multiple Cybersecurity Excellence and Innovation Awards, as well as recognition from industry giants such as NVIDIA, Microsoft, Intel, ServiceNow, and Snowflake.
Our team includes industry leaders and cryptography experts, creating a culture of trust, innovation and collaboration where every voice is valued. Recognized as a Great Place to Work, we're looking for passionate individuals to help us shape the future of data security and work towards a safer digital future.
About the role:
We are looking for a Senior/Staff Infrastructure & Platform Engineer to help architect, build, and evolve the infrastructure and tooling behind our products and engineering organization.
This is a highly technical, hands-on role for an engineer who can work across cloud, on-premises, data center, Kubernetes, networking, CI/CD, and software development. You will help define how our infrastructure should be designed—not simply implement predefined solutions.
You’ll work across internal infrastructure, production environments, and customer deployments, solving complex infrastructure problems and building scalable, automated solutions. The ideal candidate has a broad understanding of infrastructure architecture, deep expertise in Kubernetes and Linux, strong programming skills, and the technical leadership to take ambiguous problem statements and drive them from design through implementation.
What You’ll Do
- Design, build, and operate scalable, reliable, and secure infrastructure across cloud, Kubernetes, on-premises, and hybrid environments.
- Identify complex infrastructure and engineering productivity challenges and drive solutions from problem definition through architecture, implementation, and production.
- Build and improve internal developer platforms, tools, and services that simplify development, deployment, and operational workflows.
- Design, build, and optimize CI/CD platforms and pipelines, improving build and test performance, reliability, scalability, and developer feedback cycles.
- Automate provisioning, configuration, deployment, testing, monitoring, and operational workflows to reduce engineering toil and improve efficiency.
- Improve the developer experience across the software lifecycle, partnering with engineering teams to identify bottlenecks and deliver high-impact improvements.
- Develop reusable Infrastructure as Code, automation, and platform capabilities that establish consistent and scalable engineering practices.
- Build systems with strong reliability, observability, resilience, security, and disaster recovery capabilities.
- Troubleshoot complex infrastructure and platform issues, participate in incident response and root-cause analysis, and drive long-term solutions to systemic problems.
- Evaluate technologies and architectural approaches, make pragmatic technical recommendations, and establish infrastructure and engineering standards and best practices.
- Lead technical initiatives spanning multiple engineering teams, influence architecture and engineering practices, and contribute to the long-term infrastructure and developer productivity strategy.
