Full Job Description

Lambda, The Superintelligence Cloud, is a leader in AI cloud infrastructure serving tens of thousands of customers. Our customers range from AI researchers to enterprises and hyperscalers. Lambda's mission is to make compute as ubiquitous as electricity and give everyone the power of superintelligence. One person, one GPU. If you'd like to build the world's best AI cloud, join us. *Note: This position requires presence in our San Francisco/San Jose/Bellevue office location 4 days per week; Lambda’s designated work from home day is currently Tuesday. What the Role is About The Senior Platform Engineer plays a key role in accelerating software delivery across Lambda by building and evolving the internal platforms, tooling, and workflows that engineers rely on every day. As part of the Platform Engineering team, this position focuses on improving the developer experience, streamlining the software delivery lifecycle, and creating scalable self-service solutions that enable more than 200 engineers to build, test, and ship software efficiently and reliably. Working closely with engineering teams across the company, the Senior Platform Engineer identifies friction points in development and release processes and designs durable solutions through developer platforms, CI/CD infrastructure, release engineering tooling, and opinionated paved paths. The position contributes directly to Lambda’s ability to scale engineering productivity, maintain high delivery velocity, and support the company’s continued growth by making the right engineering workflows easier, faster, and more reliable. What You’ll Do - Accelerate software delivery by designing and building internal tools and services that reduce friction for engineering teams. - Own and evolve our CI/CD infrastructure, not just maintain it, but rethink how it should work as we scale - Build and maintain paved paths: reusable patterns and templates that make the right defaults obvious and easy to follow - Build release engineer
