Senior Platform Engineer

About Bunny.net Some people accept the internet as it is. We see what it could be. At bunny.net, we don’t wait for change. We make it happen. You won’t find layers of red tape or play-it-safe thinking here. You’ll find people who move quickly, take ownership, and push ideas all the way to the edge. Literally. You’ll build things that solve actual problems, not add to them. We’re not perfect, and we don’t pretend to be. But we’re always improving. We’re looking for people who want to do the same, who take pride in their work, and aren’t afraid to challenge what’s possible. Because everyone deserves a better internet. And we’re here to help it hop faster. Senior Platform Engineer Behind every bunny.net product is a platform running across thousands of servers in 120+ locations. As we grow, we're building the shared infrastructure and tools that help our teams deploy and operate at that scale. That's where you come in. As a Senior Platform Engineer, you'll work across bare metal, Linux, and Kubernetes to build the platform capabilities our teams rely on every day. Our Platform team is still small, so you'll be close to the problems, the people using what you build, and the decisions behind it. Working closely with Infrastructure and engineering teams across bunny.net, you'll turn recurring challenges into shared platform capabilities. No YAML for YAML's sake. We're looking for someone who sees a messy infrastructure problem and thinks about how to make it simpler for everyone. What will you do? Design and build self-service platform capabilities for our engineering teamsShape how we deploy workloads, from GitOps to KubernetesImprove our global hybrid infrastructure, from bare metal to containersAutomate toil and turn repeated problems into reusable solutionsDesign for scale, resilience, and failureMake our systems easier to understand through meaningful observabilityWork with teams to find friction and remove itOwn what you build as part of our follow-the-sun on-call rotation What will you bring?
