Role
Who you are
- 7+ years of relevant platform, infrastructure, or DevOps engineering experience
- Deep hands-on expertise with Kubernetes in production environments (GKE)
- Strong Terraform skills — module authoring and IaC architecture, not just usage
- Experience with GitOps workflows and CI/CD pipeline design at scale
- Solid understanding of cloud networking, IAM, and security across GCP
- Demonstrated ability to work independently on complex, ambiguous problems
- Experience mentoring engineers and influencing platform culture
- We’re open to allowing the right person to learn our industry on the job. We welcome diversity and non-traditional paths into all of our roles. We believe in hiring the right person as opposed to the right combination of keywords
What the job involves
- We are looking for a Senior Platform Engineer to join our DevOps team and take meaningful ownership of our growing infrastructure
- Own and optimize Kubernetes clusters (GKE) at scale, including networking, autoscaling, and cost efficiency
- Lead the design and implementation of infrastructure provisioning and configuration using Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform), establishing reusable patterns and enforcing standards across teams
- Architect, implement, and continuously improve CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, ArgoCD) with a focus on reliability, security, and developer experience
- Design and maintain Helm charts for applications and services across multiple environments
- Drive platform reliability — owning scalability, availability, and disaster recovery strategy (load balancing, auto-scaling, multi-region resilience)
- Define and implement observability standards across metrics, logging, and tracing (Grafana, New Relic, OpenTelemetry)
- Serve as a technical lead during incidents on primary revenue-generating applications, owning resolution and contributing to post-mortems
- Mentor engineers across the team and act as a trusted advisor to development teams on infrastructure best practices, security standards, and platform adoption
- Contribute to the team’s on-call rotation with a proactive, systems-thinking approach
Our take
The Verve Group provides an omnichannel advertising platform that connects advertisers, agencies, brands, and publishers to people in real time. Verve places a significant emphasis on privacy in its offering, in a space that has received media criticism for intrusive practices.
Over the years, the company has expanded its digital financial services platform and steadily ramped up its acquisitions. It bought mobile DSP company Dataset and is a bidding partner for in-app inventory on Google Ad Manager.
The Verve Group have made a significant footprint in the digital ad marketplace, having partnered with thousands of advertisers. The company continues pushing towards new and expanding markets as it builds a larger and stronger global technology stack.
