Senior Platform (DevOps) Engineer

At Flexcar, we're disrupting a century-old industry by reimagining car ownership from the ground up. We've built the world's first month-to-month car lease platform. No down payment, no multi-year contracts, no BS. We give customers the freedom to drive what they want, when they want, with insurance and maintenance included. We're offering a better way to own a car. Operating in multiple markets with aggressive expansion plans, we’re looking for experienced engineers who see data, infrastructure, and security as foundational, and who believe that great platforms make engineers more efficient by eliminating unnecessary complexity. You won't just be building infrastructure; you'll be a true partner to engineering. About the Role Flexcar is looking for a Senior Platform (DevOps) Engineer to design, build, and maintain the infrastructure, developer tools, and observability systems that power our applications. You’ll work closely with software engineers, data engineers, and security stakeholders to ensure our platform is simple, scalable, cost-efficient, and easy to build upon. This is a hands-on technical role where you’ll take ownership of critical platform projects — including cloud infrastructure, CI/CD, monitoring & observability, and developer experience. You’ll report directly to the Director of Engineering and play a key role in shaping the direction of the platform as we continue to scale Flexcar’s business. What You’ll Do Design, implement, and manage our infrastructure platform on AWS using Kubernetes (EKS), Terraform, and related tooling. Drive improvements to our observability platform using Open Telemetry and the Grafana stack (Prometheus, Loki, Tempo, Grafana). Collaborate with the Security team to improve posture, compliance, and best practices across our infrastructure and CI/CD platforms. Work with the Data Engineering team to support the data infrastructure needs and maintain platform integrations with analytics pipelines (e.g., NiFi, dbt, Redshift). Work with the engineering team to improve CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions, ensuring fast, secure, and reliable deployments. Develop and enforce infrastructure-as-code and configuration-as-code standards. Monitor and optimize AWS costs, proactively identifying opportunities for savings. Contribute to the developer experience by improving tooling, automation, and documentation. Willingness to support production infrastructure out of hours as needed. What We're Looking For 5+ years of experience as a Platform Engineer, DevOps Engineer, Site Reliability Engineer or Cloud Infrastructure Engineer. Deep understanding of AWS services (EKS, EC2, RDS, S3, IAM, CloudWatch, etc.) and Kubernetes operations. Strong experience with infrastructure as code (Terraform preferred). Hands-on experience implementing observability solutions (metrics, logs, traces) using OpenTelemetry and Grafana tools. Proficiency with GitHub and GitHub Actions or similar CI/CD tools. Familiarity with cloud cost management and right-sizing practices. Experience collaborating with security and data teams. Strong problem-solving and communication skills, with the ability to lead initiatives from concept to production. Preferred Experience supporting Ruby on Rails applications in production environments. Exposure to data infrastructure (e.g., NiFi , dbt , Redshift ). Interest in improving developer productivity and internal platform experiences. Flexcar is an Equal Opportunity Employer and prohibits discrimination and harassment of any kind.
