Job Description

As Highspot continues to scale rapidly, building a robust and efficient platform is critical to our success. We're looking for an experienced engineer to lead the design, development, and evolution of our cloud-based infrastructure and developer platform. This role focuses on enabling product teams through well-designed, scalable, and secure platform capabilities. You’ll be responsible for abstracting away cloud complexity, improving developer workflows, and driving the adoption of modern infrastructure practices.

Job Responsibility

  • Design and build scalable platform capabilities that empower engineering teams to ship features reliably, securely, and quickly
  • Create and maintain developer-facing tools and paved paths (e.g., CI/CD pipelines, Kubernetes platforms, observability stacks, secrets management)
  • Implement Infrastructure-as-Code and GitOps patterns to promote consistency, automation, and compliance across environments
  • Collaborate with product, security, and compliance stakeholders to build platform services that meet SLAs and governance standards
  • Drive efforts to standardize and simplify infrastructure across cloud environments (AWS, Azure), enabling secure multi-cloud operation
  • Lead incident response, reliability engineering, and observability improvements that ensure platform uptime and performance
  • Act as a technical mentor and thought leader, guiding teams on infrastructure architecture, platform adoption, and best practices
  • Define and execute on a strategic roadmap to evolve the internal platform in line with company growth and technology direction

Requirements

  • 15+ years of experience in software or infrastructure engineering
  • At least 5 years focused on platform engineering or cloud infrastructure at scale
  • Proven success designing and operating internal developer platforms in AWS and/or Azure environments
  • Expert-level experience with Kubernetes, including provisioning, cluster lifecycle management, workload orchestration, and multi-tenant design
  • Strong expertise in Terraform, GitOps tools (e.g., ArgoCD), and CI/CD systems (e.g., GitHub Actions, Spinnaker)
  • Deep understanding of cloud networking, IAM, service meshes, and container orchestration at scale
  • Familiar with the CNCF landscape and how to leverage open-source tools to solve platform problems
  • Passion for developer experience
  • Track record of technical leadership, mentoring, and influencing engineering culture at a large scale
  • Bachelor's or Master’s in Computer Science or related discipline, or equivalent practical experience

Nice to have

  • Experience designing and operating Developer Platforms or building platform-as-a-service abstractions
  • Exposure to multi-cloud or hybrid-cloud environments and associated design trade-offs
  • Strong cost optimization and cloud governance expertise

What we offer

  • Comprehensive medical, dental, vision, disability, and life benefits
  • Group Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) and matching employer contributions (DPSP) with immediate vesting
  • Flexible PTO
  • Generous Holiday Schedule + 5 Days for Annual Holiday Week
  • Quarterly Recharge Fridays (paid days off for mental health recharge)
  • Flexible work schedules
  • Access to Coaches and Therapists through Modern Health
  • 2 Volunteer days per year
  • Monthly transportation allowance for employees that work in our Vancouver Hub location
  • Eligible for bonuses and stock options
