Role
Who you are
- Are you a creative problem solver who can both give and receive feedback? Do you lead with inclusion, collaboration, and openness? Do you have strong experience with high-scale B2B and B2C platforms?
- You’re comfortable with both full-stack systems design for the hybrid cloud as well as hands-on distributed systems programming with extensive knowledge of Java, JVM, Rust, Linux internals and container orchestration
- BS degree in Computer Science, related technical field, or equivalent practical experience as a professional Platform Engineer
- Substantial experience in Java, RUST programming experience
- Proven experience in building and operating a SaaS product at scale
- Proven cloud experience using observability and operating workloads in Kubernetes
- Experience with cloud storage S3, NFS, NetApp OnTap, AWS FSX
- Distributed Systems and programming techniques
- Monitoring and metrics infrastructure (OTEL, Prometheus, Grafana)
- Cloud (AWS / GCP/ Azure / Private DC)
- Bonus: Experience with AI/ML, Natural Language
What the job involves
- As a Senior Platform Engineer, you'll be crafting and helping build the next generation of the Anaplan Platform
- You'll engineer new platforms as products, not just operate existing infrastructure. You understand user experience, reliability, and technical debt from shipping production systems
- You'll design platforms that are extensible, observable, and maintainable, enabling internal teams to build on top of them while handling the complexity underneath
- You don't just write Helm charts or YAML manifests; you extend the Kubernetes API
- Custom Operators: Proven ability to write Kubernetes Operators (using Kubebuilder or Operator SDK) to manage complex, stateful application lifecycles
- Control Plane Logic: Deep understanding of reconciliation loops, custom resource definitions (CRDs), and how to automate operational knowledge into code
- You build for high concurrency, low latency, and eventual consistency
- High-Scale SaaS: 10+ years of experience building and operating production-grade SaaS products. You have first-hand experience with the "death by a thousand cuts" that
- Comes with scaling to millions of requests
- Systems Programming: Advanced proficiency in Go, Rust, or JVM-based languages, with a focus on writing memory-efficient and thread-safe code
- Deep-Tier Cloud Storage & Persistence
- You understand the physics of data
- Storage Internals: We need more than S3 API knowledge. You should understand the performance characteristics, limitations, and cost-drivers of S3, NFS, and enterprise
- Storage like NetApp OnTap or AWS FSx
- Data Locality: Experience managing data persistence across hybrid environments (Public Cloud vs. Private DC)
- Operational Maturity (The "SRE" DNA)
- You believe that "if it isn't monitored, it doesn't exist."
- Instrumentation: Expert-level experience with OpenTelemetry. You don't just look at metrics; you design the telemetry that allows for deep-dive distributed tracing and root-cause analysis
- Observability Infrastructure: Hands-on experience scaling Prometheus and Grafana to
- Handle high-cardinality data
- Technologies you’ll work with:
- Programming languages: GoLang, Java11, Kotlin, Rust, Python
- Storage & Persistence: S3, NFS
- Container and Orchestration: Kubernetes/Containers (Docker)/Rancher RKE
- Cloud providers: AWS, GCP, Azure, Private Data Centers
- Observability/Telemetry: OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, Grafana
- Deployment: Jenkins, ArgoCD
Our take
Anaplan is an AI-driven planning platform designed to do more than just plug gaps (it truly replaces the tangled web of legacy tools for the likes of SAP, Oracle, and IBM). Designed as the only "AI-driven scenario planning and analysis platform", it brings together data, modeling, insights, and action across a range of industries. And instead of managing isolated spreadsheets and disconnected tools, it allows business users to break down silo and collaborate fully.
It's setting itself apart with its expansive, adaptable reach, too. From out-of-the-box applications tailored for finance, supply chain, HR, and more, to enterprise-grade capabilities like predictive and generative AI, data integration, and real-time modeling, it offers organizations the tools they need to outpredict, outplan, and outperform.
Anaplan is on a roll too, with annual recurring revenue topping $1B, over 2,400 customers, and fast-growing business lines in finance, sales & marketing, and supply chain. The company is showing what a modern planning platform can really do. And its $500M innovation roadmap (packed with AI-powered tools, scenario planning, and new enterprise applications) means Anaplan is ready to shape the future of decision-making.
