Job Description

Become a Senior Platform Engineer and build the infrastructure backbone of a next-generation AI compute platform at scale, with purpose, and with real ownership. This is a great opportunity to join a technically ambitious team where your work has direct, company-wide impact from day one.

You will shape the observability, reliability, and platform engineering foundations that power large-scale, multi-tenant GPU compute environments.
You will be part of a fast-paced, high-performing team at the cutting edge of AI cloud infrastructure technology.
Join a team building GPU-powered infrastructure powered by 100% renewable energy.

What & Why:
A rapidly growing AI cloud infrastructure company is expanding its Platform Infrastructure Division and needs a Senior Platform Engineer to lead observability architecture and reliability engineering across large-scale distributed systems. This is a greenfield opportunity. You'll be designing and building the systems that define how a next-generation compute platform operates. The role is open because the platform is scaling fast and the team needs a technical expert who can grow with it.

Who:
Our client is a technology company operating at the intersection of high-performance computing and sustainable infrastructure, with facilities across North America. They build and run their own data centers and take a vertically integrated approach to delivering AI cloud services at scale. The engineering culture is pragmatic, fast-moving, and deeply invested in the quality and reliability of the systems that underpin daily operations.
This hybrid role (3 days per week on-site) is based in downtown Vancouver but open to the right candidates outside of BC. They have a start-up culture that values inclusiveness and a proactive approach to overcoming new challenges.

You:
You will bring the following education, skills and experience to the role:

Must be able to work independently and navigate the challenges of a fast-paced start-up environment, focusing on finding solutions rather than just identifying problems.
5+ years in Platform Engineering, DevOps, Cloud Infrastructure, or Site Reliability Engineering
Strong proficiency in Python or Go for platform tooling, automation, and API integration
Deep hands-on experience with Kubernetes — including operations, networking, storage, RBAC, and multi-tenant architecture
Solid AWS background across core services (compute, container orchestration, object storage, IAM, networking, managed databases)
Expertise with Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform or CloudFormation) and GitOps workflows

Compensation:

Up to $150,000 + competitive incentive program.
