About this role
HUB International is a company focused on simplifying travel insurance, and they are seeking a Senior Platform Engineer to enhance their platform engineering capabilities. The role involves leading initiatives in Infrastructure as Code, improving production reliability on AWS, and building tools to support developer workflows as the company scales.
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
