Senior Platform Engineer (Go/Rust, Kubernetes, Nix/NixOS)

This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Software Engineer/IT based in United States.

This is a senior-level engineering opportunity focused on building and operating the internal platforms that enable a high-growth technology organization to move efficiently.

You’ll work across software engineering, platform infrastructure, developer tooling, and corporate technology, with substantial ownership over the systems you build.

The role combines hands-on development with Kubernetes operations, Linux systems, automation, CI/CD, and internal technology support.

You’ll primarily use Go and Rust while creating reproducible environments with Nix/NixOS and operating modern infrastructure on Kubernetes.

Reporting directly to the CTO, you’ll work in small, highly autonomous teams where initiative, sound judgment, and end-to-end ownership are highly valued.

You’ll have the opportunity to solve ambiguous technical challenges, improve engineering productivity, and establish reliable, secure, and maintainable systems.

This is a fully remote U.S. position with occasional travel and a strong emphasis on technical excellence, collaboration, and meaningful ownership.
