 **Description Ciklum**

**Ciklum** is looking for a **Principal Platform Engineer** to join our team in Brazil.

We are a custom product engineering company that supports both multinational organizations and scaling startups to solve their most complex business challenges. With a global team of over 4,000 highly skilled developers, consultants, analysts and product owners, we engineer technology that redefines industries and shapes the way people live.

### About the role:

As a Principal Platform Engineer, you’ll become a part of a cross-functional development team engineering experience of tomorrow.

The company builds software for commercial real estate. This isn’t general cloud engineering, you will actually built agentic-platform infrastructure before, not just traditional cloud architecture.

### Responsibilities:

- Own platform and cloud architecture
- Define and evolve platform architecture across AWS, including networking, compute, storage, and environment strategy
- Drive cloud modernization initiatives (migration, re-platforming, standardization of deployment patterns, scalability and resilience improvements)
- Create reference architectures and guardrails that enable autonomy while improving consistency and operational quality
- Establish reliability and operational excellence
- Set reliability standards and practices (SLOs/SLIs, error budgets, capacity planning, incident response and postmortems)
- Improve observability and operational readiness (monitoring, alerting, tracing, dashboards, runbooks) to reduce MTTR and recurring incidents
- Identify systemic bottlenecks (latency, throughput, resource utilization, toil) and lead cross-team initiatives to address them
- Establish and evangelize best practices: design docs, architecture reviews, coding standards, testing strategy, CI/CD quality gates, production readiness
- Mentor senior engineers, tech leads, and emerging technical leaders; coach teams through complex designs and tradeoffs
- Create reusable patterns and “golden paths” (templates, libraries, tooling) that make the right way the easy way

### Requirements:

- Platform, infrastructure, DevOps engineering with direct production ownership on AWS
- IaC: Deep OpenTofu/Terraform proficiency: module authoring, state management, workspace strategy, remote backends, and CI/CD integration
- Kubernetes: Strong Kubernetes operations: EKS and/or AKS cluster lifecycle, Helm, admission controllers, RBAC, network policies, and autoscaling
- Observability & SRE: Hands-on observability experience with two or more of: Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, Tempo, Datadog, or OpenTelemetry — including SLI/SLO definition and alert engineering
- CI/CD: CI/CD platform experience: GitHub Actions pipeline authoring, reusable workflow design, and container build/scan pipeline ownership
- GitOps: GitOps: ArgoCD or Flux for Kubernetes continuous delivery; progressive delivery patterns (canary, blue-green)
- IDP: IDP experience: Backstage or equivalent developer portal, GitHub, scaffolding templates, service catalog design, or self-service provisioning tooling
- Security: Security-first mindset: policy-as-code, IaC scanning, secrets management, container hardening, and shift- left security practices
- Strong communication and documentation skills; comfortable presenting architecture decisions to engineering peers and leadership
- AI/ML infrastructure : LLM API integration or model serving

### What’s in it for you?

- Care: your mental and physical health is our priority. We ensure comprehensive company-paid medical insurance and mental health programs, 5 undocumented sick-leave days per year
- Tailored education path: boost your skills and knowledge with our regular internal events (meetups, conferences, workshops), Udemy license, language courses and company-paid certifications
- Growth environment: share your experience and level up your expertise with a community of skilled professionals, locally and globally
- Long-term employment with 20 working-days paid vacation and local bank holidays
- Flexibility: 100% remote work mode
- Opportunities: we value our specialists and always find the best options for them. Our Internal Mobility Program helps change a project if needed to help you grow, excel professionally and fulfill your potential
- Global impact: work on large-scale projects that redefine industries with international and fast-growing clients
- Welcoming environment: feel empowered with a friendly team, open-door policy, informal atmosphere within the company and regular team-building events

### About us:

At Ciklum, we are always exploring innovations, empowering each other to achieve more, and engineering solutions that matter. With us, you’ll work with cutting-edge technologies, contribute to impactful projects, and be part of a One Team culture that values collaboration and progress.

As we expand into Latin America, every Ciklumer is helping to shape our story. Collaborate with seasoned experts and make a global impact backed by two decades of industry leadership.
