The Role 
 
We’re looking for a Platform Engineer to help drive our DevOps, infrastructure, reliability, and tooling initiatives. In this role, you’ll join a team responsible for building and maintaining enterprise-scale cloud infrastructure that supports microservices and cloud-native applications running on Kubernetes. 
You’ll have the opportunity to shape and influence new solutions that improve system reliability, scalability, and operational efficiency, helping ensure our technology runs smoothly and remain highly available for our customers. 
 
Our Engineering Team 
 
The CMG engineering team consists of domain experts who work collaboratively within a culture of cross-domain knowledge sharing. We value engineers who are passionate about modern technologies and best practices. 
 
Our engineers are encouraged to challenge the status quo and are constantly seeking improvement and efficiency in our code-base and platform.

CMG engineers are empowered to explore solutions using bleeding edge technologies such as AI and bring recommendations to the table. We are in a period of making impactful engineering decisions. 
 
As part of our process, we believe in taking the time for research and prototyping - this is critical in making the right decisions. Given the experience of our team, we have naturally adopted best practices from local development, through code review and into production rollouts.

Besides the standard pull requests, test automation, code coverage tracking, containerization, and one-click deployments, we are constantly reviewing these foundational components to develop new best practices.
