Design, build, and support cloud platforms and Kubernetes clusters on AWS/Azure; implement Terraform-based IaC and CI/CD pipelines; lead cloud migrations and modernization of legacy workloads; automate scaling and deployments; monitor and optimize system reliability, security, and cost; collaborate with stakeholders and contribute to runbooks, reviews, and knowledge sharing.
As a Senior Platform Engineer at BSC Analytics, you'll be part of a high-performing squad of four to five engineers tackling complex platform challenges for large-scale, highly regulated enterprises. Our work spans cloud migrations, modernization programs, Kubernetes platforms, and DevOps transformations across both Azure and AWS — which means no two engagements look exactly alike. If you thrive on learning, moving fast, and solving real-world problems across a mix of environments — both modern and legacy — this role is for you. Every week brings new opportunities to sharpen your technical skills, collaborate with top engineers, and grow your reputation as a trusted expert. You'll work on platforms that power mission-critical systems — all within a flexible, remote-first culture that values deep expertise, autonomy, and continuous learning.
