Role you're checking
Platform Engineer
Technology
Build and operate the internal developer platform — the CI/CD pipelines, Kubernetes clusters, service mesh, secrets management, observability stack, and IaC modules — that every other engineer in the company ships on. Platform engineers turn raw cloud (AWS/GCP/Azure) into a paved road: a developer pushes code, the platform takes it from commit to canary to production with logs, metrics, and rollback baked in. In India, the role is concentrated at product unicorns (Razorpay, Zerodha, CRED, PhonePe, Swiggy), GCCs of global firms (Microsoft, Atlassian, Stripe, Walmart Global Tech), and SaaS companies scaling past 200 engineers — typically the point at which a dedicated platform team starts paying for itself in shipping velocity.
