About the role
SanDisk is seeking a Senior Platform Engineer to build and scale internal platforms, developer tools, and automation across cloud and on-prem environments. The position focuses on developer experience, CI/CD frameworks, and agentic AI workflow automation.
What you'll do
- Architect, build, and operate developer-facing tools and self-service workflows, including CLIs, configuration generators, APIs, and automation.
- Design and evolve reusable CI/CD frameworks and workflows across GitHub Actions and related platforms.
- Build Python integrations with source control, issue tracking, artifact repositories, release systems, and infrastructure services.
- Design, build, and operate agentic AI workflows connecting approved models to internal tools, applying safeguards like least-privilege access and audit trails.
- Build security automation into developer workflows, including vulnerability scanning and policy enforcement.
- Support hybrid cloud and on-prem infrastructure, including CI runners, container platforms, AWS resources, and Terraform-managed infrastructure.
What you'll need
- 5+ years of software or platform engineering experience, including strong Python skills and experience building production developer tools or services.
- Proven experience designing and operating CI/CD pipelines or reusable workflow platforms at scale.
- Experience integrating systems through APIs and building automation that is testable, observable, and resilient to failures.
- Experience with AI- or LLM-based workflow automation or agentic systems, such as tool use, retrieval, or multi-step orchestration.
- Strong understanding of security best practices, including least privilege, secrets management, and auditable automation.
- Experience improving developer experience and delivering platform capabilities across teams.
Nice to have
- Hands-on experience with n8n, MCP (Model Context Protocol), or similar workflow orchestration and tool-integration technologies.
- Experience building AI workflows with grounded retrieval, evaluations, observability, human-in-the-loop controls, or other production safeguards.
- Experience with GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or other CI/CD platforms.
- Experience with hybrid cloud and on-prem environments, Kubernetes, self-hosted runners, or GitOps.
- Experience working with existing AWS resources and Terraform configurations.
- Familiarity with observability platforms such as Grafana, Prometheus, or Datadog.
- Experience with additional languages such as Go or C/C++.
