3What this role really is

A Platform Engineer builds and maintains the infrastructure that other developers rely on to write and ship code.

4What you'd actually use

The tools this job runs on, and how well you'd need to know each one.

AWS (Amazon Web Services) Intermediate

Using existing IAM roles, deploying applications to pre-configured EKS clusters, and reading CloudFormation templates to understand infrastructure. You'll be comfortable navigating the AWS console and using the CLI for routine tasks.

Terraform Intermediate

Executing existing Terraform modules, making minor changes to variables, and understanding 'terraform plan' and 'apply' outputs. You might also make small updates to existing modules or contribute to new ones under guidance.

Kubernetes Intermediate

Deploying applications using existing Helm charts, using 'kubectl' to inspect pods, logs, and events for basic debugging, and understanding core Kubernetes concepts like Deployments, Services, and Ingress.

GitLab CI/CD Intermediate

Using predefined pipeline templates to deploy services, troubleshooting basic pipeline failures (e.g., failed tests, image push errors), and making small modifications to existing '.gitlab-ci.yml' files.

Prometheus & Grafana Intermediate

Using existing Grafana dashboards to monitor service health, querying basic metrics in PromQL to investigate issues, and understanding how alerts are configured. You'll be comfortable interpreting graphs and data.

Backstage.io Basic

Using the software catalogue to find service owners and documentation, and scaffolding new services using existing templates. You'll understand its purpose in improving developer experience.

Linux/Unix Shell Scripting Intermediate

Writing and debugging shell scripts for automation tasks, CI/CD pipelines, and general system administration. You'll be comfortable with common commands and basic scripting logic.

5What you get to decide, and how that grows

Power in a job isn't your title. It's what you're allowed to decide. Here's how it grows as you move up.

The choiceComing in Where you are nowThe step above
Technical implementation within an existing component Propose to supervisor, execute after approval. Independently decide and implement, inform Lead Engineer. Independently decide and implement, inform relevant stakeholders.
Troubleshooting and incident response (routine issues) Escalate to supervisor, assist in resolution. Independently diagnose and resolve, inform team of resolution. Lead diagnosis and resolution, coordinate communication.
Changes to core platform architecture No authority, provide input if asked. Propose changes to Lead Engineer, contribute to design discussions. Design and present architectural proposals, make recommendations to leadership.
Onboarding new services to platform standards Follow existing guides, escalate complex issues. Guide application teams, adapt existing templates, troubleshoot issues. Define onboarding process, create new templates, resolve complex integration challenges.

6How you'll be judged

The scoreboard, and what is not on it. The hard targets, how often each is actually looked at, and the quiet signals that never reach a dashboard.

Mean Time to Resolution (MTTR) for Assigned Tickets
How quickly you resolve issues that come your way, specifically for platform-related tickets.
Target · < 2 hours

If a developer reports a problem with the CI/CD pipeline, you'll aim to have it fixed and them unblocked within two hours. We track this to ensure our platform issues don't become major bottlenecks.

New Service Onboarding to Standard CI/CD Pipeline
The number of new applications or services you help bring onto our standardised deployment processes.
Target · 5+ services per quarter

You'll work with new teams or new projects to get their code deploying reliably through our GitLab CI/CD pipelines. This means helping them set up their YAML, configure their environments, and get their first successful deployment.

Routine Deployment Success Rate
The percentage of deployments you're responsible for that complete without manual intervention or failure.
Target · 99% success rate

When you push a change to a Terraform module or a Kubernetes manifest, it should go through without a hitch. We expect these routine operations to be robust. If it fails, you'll need to figure out why and fix it.

Documentation Coverage & Clarity
The quality and completeness of the documentation you create or update for platform components.
Target · 90% of owned components have up-to-date documentation

You'll write runbooks for common issues, explain how to use new features, and keep our 'Paved Road' guides clear. We'll check if other engineers can follow your docs without asking you questions.

Developer Feedback on Platform Usability
How easy and intuitive our platform components are for application developers to use.
  • Regular positive comments in Slack channels, fewer support requests for basic operations, and developers actively choosing the 'Paved Road' over custom solutions. We'll also look at informal feedback during team stand-ups.
Contribution to Platform Stability
Your proactive efforts in identifying and resolving potential issues before they become incidents.
  • Identifying and fixing a latent bug in a Terraform module that could cause an outage, proposing improvements to monitoring for a component you own, or spotting a misconfiguration during a code review. It's about preventing fires, not just putting them out.
Collaboration with Application Teams
How effectively you work with development teams to understand their needs and help them use the platform.
  • Being seen as a helpful resource by dev teams, actively participating in their planning meetings when platform input is needed, and effectively communicating changes or new features in a way they understand. It's about being a partner, not just a service provider.
Code Quality and Maintainability
The clarity, efficiency, and testability of the code you write (e.g., Terraform, Kubernetes manifests, CI/CD pipelines).
  • Clean, well-commented code that's easy for others to understand and modify. Few bug reports related to your contributions, and positive feedback during code reviews from peers and senior engineers. We're looking for code that lasts.

7Would you like it

Both sides. What people enjoy, and what grinds them down.

What people enjoy
Building Reliable Systems

You get a real kick out of seeing a new deployment pipeline run flawlessly, or a monitoring dashboard showing everything is green. You enjoy the challenge of making complex systems stable and resilient.

Spending an afternoon fine-tuning a Kubernetes autoscaling configuration, then seeing it gracefully handle a traffic spike during a peak period, gives you a genuine sense of accomplishment.

Solving Technical Puzzles

You love diving deep into a tricky bug, tracing logs across multiple services, or figuring out why a Terraform plan isn't doing what you expect. The more complex the problem, the more engaged you are.

Debugging a mysterious intermittent failure in a CI/CD job that only happens once a week, eventually pinpointing a subtle race condition in a script, is your idea of a good day.

Enabling Others' Productivity

Your greatest satisfaction comes from hearing a developer say, 'Wow, that new tool you built saved me hours!' You're motivated by making other engineers' lives easier and helping the whole team move faster.

After automating a tedious manual setup process, you see new developers get their first code deployed on day one instead of day three. That direct impact on productivity is what drives you.

What frustrates people
  • The 'Shadow IT' Dilemma: Spending months building a beautiful, automated deployment pipeline only to find a team has spun up their own Jenkins server on a rogue EC2 instance because it was 'faster' for them at the time.
  • Productivity Paradox: Your work makes everyone else more productive, but it's hard to quantify your own team's output directly, sometimes leading to being seen as a 'cost centre' instead of a value multiplier.
  • On-Call for Everyone's Code: Getting paged at 3 AM for an application failure, only to spend an hour proving the platform is fine and the issue is a memory leak in the application code.
  • The Ownership Tug-of-War: The endless debate with application teams about who is responsible for the Dockerfile, the CI pipeline YAML, or the Helm chart values. It can get tiring.
  • The 'It Works on My Machine' Problem: Debugging issues that only appear in the CI/CD environment or production, which are fundamentally different from a developer's local setup. It's a classic.
What this role does not give you
  • Direct interaction with external customers (most of your 'customers' are internal developers).
  • Building new, user-facing product features (you build the tools that enable them).
  • A completely predictable, 'set it and forget it' work schedule (on-call is part of the gig, and incidents happen).
  • A role where you can avoid documentation (it's essential here, sorry!).

8Who you work with

This role directly impacts developer productivity and overall system reliability. By building and maintaining solid platform components, you're enabling faster feature delivery and reducing the likelihood of production incidents. Your work helps us keep our promises to customers by making sure our applications are stable and performant. Frankly, if the platform isn't working, nothing else is either.

Inside the business
  • Application Development Teams
  • QA Engineers
  • Security Team
  • Product Managers (for platform features)
Outside the business
  • AWS (our main cloud provider)
  • Key tool vendors (e.g., GitLab, Grafana)

9What you need before you start

Not a wish list. The things you would be expected to already have.

  • At least 2 years of hands-on experience working with cloud infrastructure (preferably AWS) and automation tools.
  • Demonstrable experience with Infrastructure as Code (e.g., Terraform) and container orchestration (e.g., Kubernetes).
  • Experience building and troubleshooting CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitLab CI/CD, Jenkins, GitHub Actions).
  • Proficiency in at least one scripting language (e.g., Bash, Python) for automation tasks.
  • A solid understanding of Linux operating systems and networking fundamentals.
  • Experience with monitoring and logging tools (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, ELK stack) for debugging and operational visibility.

10What to practise next

Where the job is going, and what to do about it starting this week.

Advanced Infrastructure as Code (IaC)

You'll move beyond just executing modules to understanding complex state management, writing reusable modules from scratch, and implementing advanced patterns like Terragrunt for DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself) principles. This reduces technical debt and improves maintainability.

Terraform State Management · Module Authoring Best Practices · Terragrunt for DRY IaC

  • This week: Review our existing Terraform modules and identify areas for improvement or standardisation.
  • This month: Take on the task of refactoring a small, repetitive piece of infrastructure into a reusable module.
  • Month 2: Research Terragrunt and propose how it could simplify our multi-environment deployments.
  • Month 3: Lead a small internal workshop on Terraform module best practices for junior engineers.

Quick win: Volunteer to review Terraform pull requests from other teams, providing constructive feedback on module design and state management.

Kubernetes Ecosystem Mastery

You'll go beyond basic 'kubectl' commands to understanding Kubernetes networking (e.g., Calico), configuring Ingress controllers (e.g., NGINX), and implementing cluster autoscaling. You'll also start exploring service meshes and security policies.

Kubernetes Networking & CNI · Ingress Controllers & Traffic Management · Cluster Autoscaling & Resource Management · Helm Chart Development

  • This week: Pick one of our existing Helm charts and try to understand every line of it.
  • This month: Experiment with deploying a new application to Kubernetes using a custom Helm chart you've written.
  • Month 2: Research different Kubernetes Ingress controllers and their features, proposing a better alternative if applicable.
  • Month 3: Take on a task to optimise resource requests/limits for a set of pods, aiming for better cluster utilisation.

Quick win: Become the go-to person for debugging Kubernetes deployment issues for one of our application teams. This hands-on experience is invaluable.

11Staying current once you are in

What people here do to keep up
  • Actively contributing to open-source projects related to cloud infrastructure, Kubernetes, or automation (even small contributions count!).
  • Attending industry conferences or meetups (e.g., KubeCon, AWS Summits) to stay up-to-date with emerging technologies and network with peers.
  • Completing online courses or specialised bootcamps in areas like advanced Kubernetes, cloud security, or specific programming languages (e.g., Go for infrastructure tooling).
  • Writing technical blog posts or giving internal presentations on new tools or best practices you've learned. Sharing knowledge is key.
  • Participating in internal 'hackathons' or innovation sprints focused on platform improvements or developer experience initiatives.

What's rising in its place

This is where the work is heading, and the higher pay with it. Get fluent here and the shift stops being a threat and starts being your edge.

Prompt Engineering for Infrastructure Automation

AI is rapidly changing how we interact with code and infrastructure. Engineers who can effectively 'talk' to large language models (LLMs) to generate, debug, and review infrastructure code will be significantly more productive.

  • Context windows and token limits
  • Temperature settings for different tasks
  • RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation) architectures
  • Output validation and hallucination detection

Advanced Observability Patterns (e.g., Tracing, eBPF)

As systems become more distributed and complex, traditional metrics and logs aren't enough. Tracing and low-level kernel observability (eBPF) are becoming critical for understanding performance bottlenecks and debugging across microservices.

  • Distributed Tracing (e.g., OpenTelemetry, Jaeger)
  • Service Level Objectives (SLOs) and Error Budgets
  • eBPF for Kernel-Level Observability
  • AIOps for Anomaly Detection

Working with AI on the job

Working with AI

Where AI is starting to help

Let's be real, platform engineering can be a demanding gig. You're constantly juggling new features, debugging issues, and keeping everything running smoothly. But what if you could offload some of that grunt work? We're not just talking about theory here; we're actively integrating AI tools to make your day-to-day work faster, smarter, and frankly, a lot less tedious.

At Zavmo, we're building an 'AI Productivity Hub' specifically for our Technical_roles teams. This isn't about replacing your job; it's about giving you superpowers. As a Platform Engineer, you'll have access to tools that can write boilerplate code, spot anomalies before they become problems, and even draft your post-mortems. Imagine having more time for the really interesting, complex work – that's the goal.

IaC Generation & Review

Use AI assistants like GitHub Copilot for Terraform to quickly generate boilerplate modules or Kubernetes manifests. The AI can also act as a 'linter' in your pull requests, suggesting best practices for security (e.g., 'This S3 bucket is public') or cost-efficiency. It's like having an extra pair of eyes that never sleeps.

Anomaly Detection & Root Cause Analysis

Feed our observability data (Prometheus metrics, logs) into an AI platform that automatically detects anomalies and correlates events across systems. Instead of manually digging through dashboards for hours during an incident, the AI suggests, 'Pod restarts are correlated with a spike in database latency.' It helps you get to the fix much faster.

CNCF Tool Evaluation & Research

When you're evaluating a new open-source tool from the Cloud Native landscape, use an AI agent to summarise its documentation, GitHub issues, and community sentiment. You can ask it specific questions like, 'Compare the pros and cons of Istio vs. Linkerd for a team of our size and expertise.' Saves you hours of reading.

Runbook & Post-mortem Automation

After an incident, you can feed the AI the raw Slack conversation, alert notifications, and key graphs. It can generate a solid first draft of the incident post-mortem, including a timeline, key actions taken, and contributing factors, which your team can then refine. Less time writing, more time learning.
