Position Summary
We are hiring a Platform Engineer II to help build and operate the core platform that powers software delivery across Yes Energy. This role sits within the Platform Team, part of the Product Technology Services (PTS) group, and is focused on the foundation our development and operations teams depend on: application platform support, CI/CD pipelines, containers and Kubernetes, observability, and infrastructure as code that is repeatable, safe, and secure.
This is a hands-on individual contributor role. You will work independently on well-scoped platform projects, troubleshoot and resolve production issues across systems and services, and contribute improvements to shared platform components. You will take part in design and code review, follow and help refine the team's patterns and standards, and informally support more junior engineers. We run a lean, high-trust operation, so we need someone who can manage their own work, learn new technologies quickly, and exercise sound judgment about which technologies are beneficial, not just which are new. Success in this role means helping deliver a resilient, scalable platform that empowers developers and operators, accelerates delivery, and holds a high standard for stability, security, and observability.

Provision and manage cloud infrastructure as code, with Terraform strongly preferred, following security and cost best practices for networking, IAM, storage, and compute.
Implement and improve observability for the services the team owns using the Elastic Stack: logging, metrics, dashboards, and alerting that support incident response and performance tuning.
Work across Azure, AWS, and OCI, applying cloud-native patterns for compute, networking, identity, and cost-aware operations.
Build and maintain team-level automation and scripts that reduce manual steps and prevent errors.
Troubleshoot production issues, identify root causes, and implement well-reasoned fixes.
