The Opportunity
The DevOps Platform team builds and operates the shared infrastructure foundation that powers all of DoubleVerify's engineering teams. We're the team behind the platforms processing billions of events daily—Kubernetes clusters spanning cloud and data centers, streaming and data systems, workflow orchestration, and the observability stack that keeps everything running. As a Senior Platform Engineer, you'll own critical infrastructure that hundreds of developers depend on every day. This isn't about keeping the lights on—it's about building resilient, self-service platforms that make complex distributed systems simple to operate. You'll work with cutting-edge technologies (Kubernetes, Kafka, Aerospike, ArgoCD, Envoy) and have the autonomy to define standards and shape how DV's infrastructure evolves as the company scales. If you love building platforms that other engineers love using, this is your role.
What You'll Achieve
Own Company-Wide Infrastructure Platforms
Design, deploy, and operate Kubernetes platforms across GCP, AWS, and data center environments that serve as the foundation for 100+ engineering teams
Build and maintain critical shared services: streaming (Kafka), data storage (Aerospike), workflow orchestration (Airflow), and observability (Prometheus, Grafana) that process billions of events with 99.9%+ reliability
Elevate Developer Experience
Create tooling and automation that transforms complex platform operations into simple self-service workflows—empowering developers while maintaining security and stability
Drive CI/CD evolution by building operators, controllers, and management tools that reduce toil and accelerate deployment velocity
Shape Infrastructure Standards
Partner with product teams from day one to ensure new features integrate cleanly and reliably into DV's infrastructure, preventing technical debt before it happens
Define and promote best practices for automation, observability, security, and maintainability that scale across the organization
Lead Technical Projects
Plan and deliver high-impact infrastructure initiatives in collaboration with multidisciplinary DevOps, SRE, and engineering teams across US, Israel, and Europe
Use metrics, logs, and traces to proactively identify and resolve performance bottlenecks, turning insights into lasting improvements
What You'll Bring
Required:
5+ years in DevOps, Platform Engineering, or SRE roles operating production infrastructure at scale
3+ years hands-on experience with Kubernetes in production environments (bonus if you've owned/managed a K8s platform)
Strong cloud platform expertise in GCP or AWS (multi-cloud experience valued)
Software engineering mindset - you write code (Python, Go, Bash) to solve infrastructure problems, not just configure tools
Observability-driven troubleshooting - you're comfortable diving into metrics, logs, and traces to diagnose distributed system issues
Platform thinking - you design for reliability, scalability, and developer experience, not just "getting it working"
Nice to Have:
Hands-on experience with Kafka, Aerospike, ArgoCD, or Airflow in production
Background with service mesh technologies (Envoy Gateway, Istio)
Experience with GitOps workflows and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, Crossplane)
Contributions to open-source platform tooling or CNCF projects
Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) practices and culture
Beyond the Resume:
Empathy for developers - you care deeply about improving the experience of engineers using your platforms
Systems thinker - you see the big picture and understand how components interact across distributed systems
Strong communicator - you can explain complex infrastructure concepts to application developers and collaborate across teams
Initiative and ownership - you don't wait to be told what to do; you identify problems and drive solutions

Cloud: GCP (primary), AWS
Orchestration: Kubernetes (GKE, on-prem), ArgoCD, Helm, Kyverno
