Design, deploy, and operate cloud platforms across Azure and AWS, including Kubernetes clusters, CI/CD pipelines, and Terraform-based infrastructure. Lead cloud migrations and modernization of legacy workloads, automate containerized applications, improve monitoring and reliability, and troubleshoot distributed systems. Collaborate with engineers, product managers, and clients to deliver secure, compliant, scalable solutions while contributing to technical knowledge sharing and process improvements.
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.
