Desirable
- Experience standardizing developer platforms at scale
- Hands-on with observability (OTEL), cost anomaly monitoring, or incident automation
- Background in disaster recovery planning, multi-region architectures, and production safety (canaries, rollbacks)
- History of mentorship, technical leadership, or cross-team platform initiatives
- Systematic problem-solving mindset and strong sense of ownership
- Experience driving adoption of AI-assisted workflows across engineering teams (e.g., CI/CD improvements, observability, infrastructure automation)
- Ability to evaluate emerging AI tools for platform engineering, identifying opportunities, risks, and best practices for secure and effective use
What the job involves
- At Fetch, our engineering philosophy emphasizes innovation, adaptability, and informed decision-making
- Our engineers thrive in complex environments, making decisions based on critical thinking and data, even in uncertain situations
- We value proactive problem-solving and focus on driving impactful results while maintaining high technical standards
- You will work alongside talented engineers who are dedicated to pushing the boundaries of technology and encouraging each other to excel
- We understand that Fetch may not be the right fit for everyone, but if you're passionate about solving challenging problems and navigating intricate systems, Fetch could be a great place for you
- Fetch’s next step in evolving our engineering velocity requires a Senior Platform Engineer
- In this role, you’ll own major pieces of Fetch’s platform strategy building standardized, cloud-native platforms that enable developers to move faster while keeping our systems secure, scalable, and resilient
- You’ll lead by example: designing paved paths, mentoring engineers, and delivering automation that turns operational friction into developer velocity
- You’ll play a critical role in advancing initiatives like multi-region resiliency, observability standardization, cost anomaly monitoring, and testing in production
- Own & Evolve Platforms: Design, build, and scale core platform components (EKS/ECS, GitHub-native CI/CD, OTEL observability, cost monitoring)
- Modern IaC & App Delivery: Architect and enforce Terraform standards (module catalogs, policy-as-code with OPA/Conftest), manage Kubernetes apps via Helm (charts, repos), and implement GitOps (Argo CD/Flux) for progressive delivery and compliance
- Accelerate Developer Experience: Deliver self-service infrastructure, opinionated deployment patterns, and automation that enable teams to ship faster with confidence
- Advance Reliability & Resilience: Lead implementation of autoscaling, canary releases, anomaly detection, rollback automation, and disaster recovery patterns
- Cross-Functional Influence: Collaborate with Engineering, Product, Finance, and Security to align platform investments with organizational goals
- Mentorship & Leadership: Guide engineers in platform best practices, review designs, and raise the technical bar across the org
- AI Fluency: Integrate AI-assisted tooling into daily platform engineering workflows, using it to accelerate development, validate infrastructure code, and improve developer experience while ensuring outputs meet reliability, security, and scalability standards
Our take
Leading mobile shopping and loyalty platform Fetch has seen explosive success in recent years. Its concept is simple: users receive spendable points in exchange for scans of their shopping receipts.
The app has tens of millions of daily active users with even more downloads, and has seen impressive growth, having now reached 'unicorn' status twice over. This should come as no surprise. Brand reinforcement is crucial to customer retention and acquisition - but it is harder than ever, with the fragmentation of choice on the market and the declining efficacy of marketing. So material loyalty benefits are likely to prove a crucial tool in creating and leveraging a strong customer base.
Whilst Fetch faces competition from similar receipt-scan rewards platforms like ReceiptPal and Ibotta, it grew into a profitable company in late 2023. And its using its most recent Morgan Stanley-backed funding to aggressively add brand partners at a competitive pace and onboard staff at a level that promises strong continued growth.
