Senior Platform Software Engineer (CI/CD)

Overview

POSITION SUMMARY

EarnIn is seeking a Senior Platform Engineer to design, build, and evolve the continuous delivery pipelines and Kubernetes-based infrastructure that power our microservices. As a bridge between Developer Experience and Core Infrastructure, you will be a domain expert who strengthens the deployment lifecycle, with a focus on ArgoCD, GitOps workflows, and Kubernetes orchestration. You will deliver impactful solutions that simplify infrastructure complexity for developers, enabling them to ship high-quality, scalable code to production more efficiently.

In this role, you’ll collaborate closely with teammates and cross-functional partners, contribute to technical strategy through thoughtful design and implementation, and advocate for tooling that improves both engineering velocity and system stability. You will balance short-term deliverables with long-term maintainability and resilience. This position will be hybrid, based in our Bengaluru office, as part of our expanding site. EarnIn provides excellent employee benefits, including healthcare, internet/cell phone reimbursement, a learning and development stipend, and opportunities to collaborate with and travel to our Palo Alto HQ and Bangkok Site. Our salary ranges are determined by role, level, and location.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Design, implement, and maintain scalable GitOps workflows with Argo CD and Kubernetes that span the entire software development lifecycle, from commit to production.
• Design and implement GitHub Actions to orchestrate complex CI workflows, including writing custom actions and managing reusable workflows that support a diverse set of languages and frameworks.
• Partner with product engineering and developer productivity teams to ensure seamless integration of Kubernetes and CI/CD tooling, acting as a bridge to translate developer friction points into infrastructure improvements.
• Build reusable automation tools and templates (in Go or Python) to abstract away the complexities of Helm and Kustomize, enabling development teams to self-serve their infrastructure needs.
• Keep the deployment platform aligned with evolving industry standards to reduce operational toil and fragmentation.
• Participate in infrastructure architecture and design reviews, providing well-thought-out recommendations on scalability, high availability, and microservices best practices.
• Deliver solutions that balance speed, quality, and resilience, ensuring progressive delivery strategies (canary/blue-green) and performance considerations are built into the pipeline.
• Contribute to code reviews for infrastructure-as-code and support teammates through documentation, guidance, and collaborative problem-solving.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related field (or equivalent practical experience).
• 4+ years of software development or infrastructure experience, with a specific focus on Platform Engineering, Kubernetes.
• Familiarity in Kubernetes cluster management and orchestration, with specific hands-on expertise in ArgoCD and GitOps principles.
• Strong programming skills in Golang and Python; experience building internal developer tooling or treating infrastructure as software.
• Knowledge of microservices architecture and cloud-native technologies.
• Strong expertise with CI/CD tools (GitHub Actions, Jenkins) and observability hooks (DataDog) within the deployment lifecycle.
• Demonstrated experience utilizing AI productivity tools (e.g., Cursor, Claude Code) to accelerate SDLC workflows, with proficiency in prompt engineering to optimize code generation, debugging, and documentation tasks.
• Experience with AWS managed services and cloud infrastructure.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to work effectively in a geographically distributed team environment.
