About this role
HUB International is a company focused on simplifying travel insurance. They are seeking a Senior Platform Engineer to enhance platform engineering by improving reliability, automation, and developer experience while leading initiatives such as Infrastructure as Code and strengthening security measures.
Responsibilities:
- Own production reliability on AWS (availability, performance, capacity planning)
- Lead our move to Infrastructure as Code (likely Terraform): versioned, reviewed, repeatable infra changes
- Improve CI/CD and release workflows for our Ruby and Wordpress apps (safer rollouts, faster deploys, easy rollbacks)
- Run and evolve our container platform (Docker + Swarm today), and help plan a pragmatic modernization path
- Build and maintain internal developer tooling (Ruby) for provisioning, deployments, and operational workflows
- Strengthen security by default (least-privilege IAM, secrets, network isolation, patching cadence)
- Upgrade observability (logs/metrics/traces), alerts, and dashboards so debugging is fast and predictable
- Enable AI/agent workflows with the right infrastructure + guardrails (credentials, sandboxes, evals, cost controls)
Requirements:
- Strong hands-on AWS production experience (IAM, networking, compute, databases, monitoring)
- Proven experience implementing IaC at scale (patterns, modules, environments, workflow)
- Solid Linux + networking fundamentals; calm, effective incident debugging
- Strong DevEx mindset: automation, tooling, CI/CD, and pragmatic platform improvements
- High ownership in a small team: set direction, ship, document, and bring others along
- 2-5 years of relevant experience
- High school or equivalent
- Container platform migration experience (Swarm → ECS/EKS/Kubernetes, or similar)
- Ruby (or strong scripting) for internal platform and automation tooling
- Experience operationalizing AI/agents (security, cost controls, evals, observability)
- Hands-on configuration management (Ansible/Chef/Puppet) and comfort managing config drift across environments
