ABOUT THE ROLE
 
At Bright Machines, we are transforming the future of manufacturing with intelligent, software-driven automation. Our applications help designers create products that are optimized for automated assembly, making factories more efficient and effective. 
 
As a Platform Engineer, you will design, build, and operate scalable, secure infrastructure while driving monitoring, alerting, CI/CD pipelines, and developer experience tooling that accelerate development and automation of complex, mission-critical industrial manufacturing applications. Working closely with the Platform Engineering team, R&D, and Operations, you will play a key role in shaping and maintaining the core platform that powers our automation solutions.
 
Our technology stack includes on-prem compute and networking, AWS and Azure cloud, Terraform (IaC), ArgoCD, Kubernetes (self-hosted and managed), GitLab and observability tools such as Grafana, Prometheus, and OpenTelemetry.
 
This is an exciting opportunity to work with R&D teams designing & building software-defined automation solutions for modern factories. Our integrated solution consists of both on-prem infrastructure like full network stack (with switches, routers, firewalling) and Cloud-native software applications running on-prem and in the Cloud to operate and monitor the robotic assembly lines.

WHAT YOU WILL BE DOING

  • Design, implement, and maintain reliable, scalable, and secure infrastructure to support applications and automation systems.
  • Own and continuously improve platform engineering tools and services, including documentation and cross-team communication.
  • Automate infrastructure provisioning, configuration management, and deployment pipelines.
  • Manage CI/CD systems to enable efficient and reliable delivery of software.
  • Implement and operate observability solutions (logging, monitoring, alerting) to ensure uptime and system performance.
  • Enforce security best practices, including vulnerability management and incident response readiness.
  • Participate in the on-call rotation for services owned by the Platform Engineering team.

WHAT WE WANT TO SEE

  • Bachelor's or master's degree in computer science, engineering, or a related technical field
  • At least 5+ years of experience in Platform Engineering, DevOps, or Site Reliability Engineering (SRE).
  • Strong experience with physical infrastructure, including networking equipment and servers.
  • Proficiency with CI/CD tools and GitOps workflows.
  • Hands-on coding experience in Python and Shell scripting.
  • Solid understanding of Linux internals and system administration.
  • Experience with public cloud providers (AWS, Azure, or GCP).
  • Proficiency with Infrastructure as Code tools (Terraform, Ansible).
  • Deep knowledge of Kubernetes (self-hosted and managed), including Helm.
  • Familiarity with observability stacks (Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry).

IT WOULD BE NICE IF YOU HAD

  • Experience with bare-metal provisioning (MaaS or similar)
