Job Description

As a Platform Engineer, you will support the design, implementation, and day-to-day operation of the internal platform that powers our applications and services. You will work closely with senior platform engineers and development teams to automate operational tasks, improve developer experience, and ensure our systems remain reliable, secure, and scalable.

This role is ideal for engineers with some hands-on experience who want to deepen their platform, cloud, and automation skills while contributing to a growing engineering organization.

At Enpal, you would be:

• Automating daily platform operations. You will help streamline recurring tasks, improve deployment workflows, and reduce manual work through scripting and infrastructure automation.

• Supporting scalable infrastructure. Work with the team to maintain and improve our cloud-native environment while learning how large-scale systems are designed and operated.

• Learning by building. You will collaborate with experienced engineers on topics such as Kubernetes operations, CI/CD pipelines, observability, and infrastructure as code.

• Improving the developer experience. We treat our platform as a product for internal teams. You will help enhance usability, reliability, and documentation so engineers can ship faster and safer.

• Contributing to continuous improvement. Suggest small but meaningful changes that increase stability, performance, and automation across our tooling and environments.

• Collaborating across teams. Work with developers, operations, and security to understand real needs and translate them into practical platform solutions.
