Position Summary
We are hiring a Platform Engineer III 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 senior, hands-on individual contributor role. You will design and deliver significant parts of the platform, solve ambiguous problems that span systems and teams, and set the patterns and standards the team works from. You will guide design decisions, lead technical discussions, review code, and mentor other engineers. We run a lean, high-trust operation, so we need someone who can self-direct, 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.
