The Opportunity

The DevOps Platform team builds and operates the shared infrastructure foundation that powers all of DoubleVerify's engineering teams. We're the team behind the platforms processing billions of events daily—Kubernetes clusters spanning cloud and data centers, streaming and data systems, workflow orchestration, and the observability stack that keeps everything running. As a Senior Platform Engineer, you'll own critical infrastructure that hundreds of developers depend on every day. This isn't about keeping the lights on—it's about building resilient, self-service platforms that make complex distributed systems simple to operate. You'll work with cutting-edge technologies (Kubernetes, Kafka, Aerospike, ArgoCD, Envoy) and have the autonomy to define standards and shape how DV's infrastructure evolves as the company scales. If you love building platforms that other engineers love using, this is your role.

What You'll Achieve

Own Company-Wide Infrastructure Platforms

• Design, deploy, and operate Kubernetes platforms across GCP, AWS, and data center environments that serve as the foundation for 100+ engineering teams
• Build and maintain critical shared services: streaming (Kafka), data storage (Aerospike), workflow orchestration (Airflow), and observability (Prometheus, Grafana) that process billions of events with 99.9%+ reliability

Elevate Developer Experience

• Create tooling and automation that transforms complex platform operations into simple self-service workflows—empowering developers while maintaining security and stability
• Drive CI/CD evolution by building operators, controllers, and management tools that reduce toil and accelerate deployment velocity

Shape Infrastructure Standards

• Partner with product teams from day one to ensure new features integrate cleanly and reliably into DV's infrastructure, preventing technical debt before it happens
• Define and promote best practices for automation, observability, security, and maintainability that scale across the organization

Lead Technical Projects

• Plan and deliver high-impact infrastructure initiatives in collaboration with multidisciplinary DevOps, SRE, and engineering teams across US, Israel, and Europe
• Use metrics, logs, and traces to proactively identify and resolve performance bottlenecks, turning insights into lasting improvements

What You'll Bring

Required:

• 5+ years in DevOps, Platform Engineering, or SRE roles operating production infrastructure at scale
• 3+ years hands-on experience with Kubernetes in production environments (bonus if you've owned/managed a K8s platform)
• Strong cloud platform expertise in GCP or AWS (multi-cloud experience valued)
• Software engineering mindset - you write code (Python, Go, Bash) to solve infrastructure problems, not just configure tools
• Observability-driven troubleshooting - you're comfortable diving into metrics, logs, and traces to diagnose distributed system issues
• Platform thinking - you design for reliability, scalability, and developer experience, not just "getting it working"

Nice to Have:

• Hands-on experience with Kafka, Aerospike, ArgoCD, or Airflow in production
• Background with service mesh technologies (Envoy Gateway, Istio)
• Experience with GitOps workflows and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, Crossplane)
• Contributions to open-source platform tooling or CNCF projects
• Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) practices and culture

Beyond the Resume:

• Empathy for developers - you care deeply about improving the experience of engineers using your platforms
• Systems thinker - you see the big picture and understand how components interact across distributed systems
• Strong communicator - you can explain complex infrastructure concepts to application developers and collaborate across teams
• Initiative and ownership - you don't wait to be told what to do; you identify problems and drive solutions

Your Tech Stack

Core Infrastructure:

• Cloud: GCP (primary), AWS
• Orchestration: Kubernetes (GKE, on-prem), ArgoCD, Helm, Kyverno
• Service Mesh: Envoy Gateway
• IaC: Terraform, Crossplane

Data & Streaming:

• Streaming: Kafka
• Databases: Aerospike (NoSQL), various SQL systems
• Workflow: Airflow

Observability & Testing:

• Monitoring: Prometheus, Mimir, Grafana, Grafana Alloy
• Load Testing: K6
• Tracing & Logging: Distributed across the stack

Access & Security:

• Access Management: Teleport
• Policy Enforcement: Kyverno, custom admission controllers
• CI/CD: GitLab CI/CD, GitHub Actions
