POSITION SUMMARY

EarnIn is seeking a Platform Engineer to help with strategic design, automation, and optimization of our cloud infrastructure. This role involves innovation in cloud operations, enabling rapid development and scaling solutions across teams and systems. This is an impactful role within the organization, designed for those who excel at critically evaluating the needs of a rapidly growing company and at anticipating and solving cloud challenges at scale.

This position will be hybrid, based in our Bengaluru office (HSR Layout), as part of our expanding site. EarnIn offers our employees excellent benefits, including healthcare, internet/cell phone reimbursement, a learning and development stipend, and opportunities to travel to our Mountain View HQ. Our salary ranges are determined by role, level, and location.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

  • AI-Agent Development: Design, build, and iterate on AI agents that automate platform operations, from service and infra bootstrap, intelligent incident diagnosis, automated runbook execution, to self-healing infrastructure and PR-review bots. Own the agent lifecycle: prompt engineering, tool/function-call orchestration, evaluation, and production monitoring.
  • Workflow Automation with AI: Identify and eliminate repetitive human-in-the-loop workflows across CI/CD, environment management, access provisioning, and change management.
  • Kubernetes Infrastructure: Support our Kubernetes platform on AWS EKS, with a focus on environment hygiene and security; execute cluster-level tasks and updates with minimal support, and leverage AI for anomaly detection, capacity recommendations, and automated remediation.
  • Developer Experience: Utilize our developer control plane (Cortex) to maintain paved paths and self-service actions, helping teams move from idea to production with minimal friction.
  • Observability & Excellence: Strengthen operational excellence by monitoring SLOs/error budgets and utilizing Datadog for metrics, traces, and logs to improve system reliability.
  • Platform Development: Develop platform services using industry best practices that enable operational excellence for Data, CI/CD, and Security.
  • Service Standardization: Maintain service scaffolds and templates that encode testing and telemetry standards, ensure alignment with platform baselines, and use AI to auto-generate and validate configurations against them.

    • WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.
  • 3+ years in platform, infrastructure, or backend engineering with deep knowledge of Kubernetes (EKS) and cloud-native architectures on AWS.
  • Demonstrated experience building AI agents or agentic workflows, not just using Copilot or ChatGPT, but designing multi-step AI systems that autonomously perform operational tasks (e.g., LLM-powered runbook agents, intelligent CI/CD bots, self-service assistants with tool-use/function-calling).
  • Track record of automating away repetitive workflows with AI. You should be able to point to specific examples where you replaced manual processes with AI-driven automation that let a team do more with fewer resources.
  • Experience in GitOps (ArgoCD) and CI (GitHub Actions) for multi-service systems.
  • Strong coding skills in Go and/or Python, treating infrastructure as software.
  • Excellent communication skills; able to clearly convey technical issues and advocate for both the team's and the customer's needs.
  • Experience with LLM orchestration frameworks (e.g., LangChain, LlamaIndex, CrewAI, or custom agent architectures) and prompt engineering for production systems.
  • Mission-Driven: A strong advocate for the customer who takes initiative to fix issues and constantly asks, "can an AI agent do this instead of a human?"
  • Experience using AI-assisted development tools (e.g., Copilot, Cursor, LLMs) is a plus
    • Nice to Have:
  • Experience with service mesh (e.g., Linkerd) and traffic management patterns.
  • Hands-on contributions to developer productivity insights and observability for cost-aware engineering decisions.
    • #LI-Hybrid
