What this job asks for AI summary
A senior-level platform engineering role focused on building internal developer platforms from scratch — not maintaining existing ones. Day-to-day work centers on constructing self-service portals with Backstage, GitOps delivery pipelines with Argo CD or Flux, workflow orchestration with Argo Workflows, and production Kubernetes infrastructure, alongside load testing and policy enforcement. The role suits an experienced engineer who has personally designed and owned these systems end to end, working remotely embedded within enterprise client environments.

Why we read it this way (8)
The role is explicitly framed as building internal developer platforms from scratch — designing catalog models, writing software templates, and owning GitOps reconciliation loops — making 15-1252 (Software Developers) the clear primary SOC. 15-1244 is noted as a runner-up given the heavy infrastructure-operations framing in parts of the posting.
Argo CD and Flux CD are presented as interchangeable ('Argo CD or Flux CD') in the responsibilities section; Argo CD is listed as the primary required tool in the 'You Have' section, so it is the canonical name with Flux CD as an alternative.
The programming language requirement ('one or more of: Golang, Python, TypeScript, Bash, Ruby, or Rust') is a single requirement with interchangeable options; Golang is listed first and used as the primary name.
Terraform is listed alongside Atlantis ('Terraform + Atlantis') in the requirements section. Atlantis is a workflow automation layer for Terraform rather than a true substitute, so it is emitted as a separate preferred skill rather than an alternative — it appears in a parenthetical 'understanding of' framing alongside CloudFormation, which is treated as an alternative to Terraform.
Monitoring/observability tools (Prometheus/Grafana, DataDog, Splunk, ELK) are listed as a single 'experience with' requirement; Prometheus is used as the primary name with the others as alternatives.
The 'Extra Awesome' section (open-source contributions, compliance environments, certifications) is treated as preferred/nice-to-have and no skills from it are marked as required.
No compensation figures are provided in the posting.
