Senior Cloud Platform Engineer - Terraform & Kubernetes
Fort Worth, Texas
Job Summary
Koddi's Platform Engineering team owns the infrastructure that powers a high-scale SaaS advertising platform. We're in the middle of a modernization effort - migrating workloads to Kubernetes, standardizing on Terraform across all environments, and building the tooling and guardrails that let product teams ship with confidence.
We're looking for a senior engineer who's done this before - ideally someone who's helped multiple organizations navigate cloud transformations and wants to plant a flag and build something lasting.
What You'll Do
- Lead the design and buildout of Kubernetes-based infrastructure on AWS (EKS), including cluster architecture, networking, observability, and developer workflows
- Own Terraform codebases across the platform - define module standards, enforce best practices, and drive adoption of infrastructure-as-code across teams
- Partner with engineering leads to assess, plan, and execute infrastructure modernization initiatives - turning ambiguous requirements into structured delivery milestones
- Act as a technical advisor across the organization, helping teams make informed architecture decisions around compute, networking, and deployment strategy
- Build and improve CI/CD pipelines with a focus on deployment safety, speed, and audibility (GitHub Actions)
- Participate in cross-functional planning, balancing multiple work streams and communicating progress through clear written updates
- Contribute to on-call rotations and incident response, driving root-cause analysis and long-term reliability improvements
Who You Are
Required
- 5+ years in cloud infrastructure / platform engineering roles
- Deep, hands-on Terraform experience - you've built modules, managed state at scale, and have opinions about code structure. CloudFormation experience is a plus, as we use both across our infrastructure
- Production Kubernetes experience (EKS preferred) - cluster operations, Helm, networking, RBAC, troubleshooting real
workloads - Strong AWS foundation (VPC, IAM, ECS, EC2, S3, Route53)
- Experience with CI/CD design and implementation (GitHub Actions preferred)
- Monitoring and observability tooling (Datadog, CloudWatch, PagerDuty)
- Excellent written communication - you can write a clear status update, a design proposal, or a post-mortem that people actually read
Nice to Have
- Experience leading cloud migrations or modernization engagements
- Familiarity with GitOps workflows (ArgoCD, Flux)
- HashiCorp certifications (Terraform Associate or above)
- Experience building internal platforms or developer tooling
Why This Role
- You'll shape the infrastructure roadmap, not just execute tickets
- Greenfield modernization work - migrating to Kubernetes, building net-new platform tooling
- A team that values clear thinking and written communication over meetings
- Ownership culture - you'll be the DRI on real initiatives, not a cog in a rotation
- Competitive compensation and benefits
