Canada, Canada
Caseware is on a mission to eliminate manual operations through automation, standardization, and Infrastructure as Code. Our Platform Engineering team is responsible for ensuring availability, cost-efficiency, security, and operational excellence across all environments.

We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer with deep AWS and Kubernetes (EKS) expertise who can write code, build scalable platforms, and automate everything. You will work on high-level abstraction layers, ensuring teams can deploy applications seamlessly without deep Kubernetes exposure while improving efficiency, security, and reliability.

πŸš€ If you are a hardcore software developer who builds cloud platforms and thrives in automation-driven environments, this role is for you.

In this role, you will be reporting to:
Amir Toole - VP, Platform Engineering

Contact:
Chengeer Lee - Principal Talent Acquisition Partner & Coach

❗ Ideal candidate will work in a hybrid mode at our Toronto office. But we are open to remote candidates across Canada.

A quick message from your Talent Partner:

Key Responsibilities:

    • Design, implement, and manage AWS infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code (CDK preferred, but open to other tools).
    • Develop and maintain CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions.
    • Manage and optimize Kubernetes (EKS) clusters at scale, implementing advanced autoscaling strategies beyond HPA (e.g., KEDA).
    • Enhance monorepo development workflows (we use Nx for trunk-based development & continuous delivery).
    • Drive standardization & abstraction, ensuring teams can deploy applications without managing Kubernetes internals.
    • Improve availability, security, and cost efficiency through platform-level enhancements.
    • Troubleshoot and resolve infrastructure issues in a high-scale, fast-paced environment.
    • Support a rotating 24/7 on-call schedule (ensuring platform reliability).

Must-have requirements:

    • βœ… Extensive AWS expertise - AWS must be your primary cloud (or you must have deep experience in another cloud and be able to upskill rapidly).
    • βœ… Deep Kubernetes knowledge - ideally EKS, but strong Kubernetes experience elsewhere is acceptable.
    • βœ… Strong coding background - we need software engineers, not IT operations professionals.
    • βœ… Cloud architecture knowledge, particularly AWS Well-Architected Framework.
    • βœ… Ability to work independently in a fast-moving, high-scale environment.

Nice to have:

    • Expertise in TypeScript & AWS CDK (Python is also fine).
    • Experience managing monorepos & trunk-based development.
    • Familiarity with service mesh technologies (e.g., Istio).
    • CI/CD experience with GitHub Actions.
    • Experience with AWS multi-account environments (Landing Zone, Control Tower).
    • Experience managing hybrid Kubernetes clusters (Windows/Linux).

What's in it for You?

    • Cutting-edge cloud engineering: Work on a fully automated Kubernetes-driven platform with high-scale AWS infrastructure.
    • High-impact work: Your changes affect all developer teams, optimizing efficiency, security, and cost.
    • Growth & autonomy: Work on complex engineering challenges with a team that values deep expertise.
    • AWS & Kubernetes mastery: Work on advanced cloud and Kubernetes scaling strategies, beyond typical ECS-based workloads.
    • Eliminate manual operations: Join a team that presses a button to launch a new region in hours, not weeks.
