Senior Platform Engineer
Wagepoint
Who We Are:
At Wagepoint, we’re good people. Sure, maybe we’re biased. But that’s only because Wagepointers bring the best versions of ourselves to do some of the best work in our careers.
We’re an authentic team who bring our diverse backgrounds, ideas, experiences and cultures together to make payroll magic. Speaking of, we “pull rabbits out of hats” for thousands of small business owners across Canada who rely on our payroll software to pay their employees and process their payroll taxes. And we’re just getting started.
We’re growing and looking for more awesome people to join our merry band of misfits. We are looking for people who share our understanding that when it comes to our commitment to our customers: we mean business. Especially given that the consequences of getting payroll wrong can sometimes be dire.
If you are the kind of person who has always wanted to make a difference and be heard at work, Wagepoint will give you plenty of opportunity to do just that.
The Role at High Level:
We’re looking for a hands-on Senior Platform Engineer with strong experience operating production cloud systems.
You’ll play a critical role in evolving our platform maturity — improving reliability, scalability, developer experience, and security across a growing SaaS environment. You will act as a technical leader within Platform Engineering, reporting to the Platform Engineering Manager.
This role is well suited for someone who values continuous improvement, enjoys enabling others, and takes pride in making complex infrastructure simple, secure, and reliable.
What You'll Be Expected To Own:
Design and evolve our Azure architecture while supporting our legacy AWS footprint
Production ownership of Kubernetes (AKS) clusters, including upgrades, scaling, ingress, and secret management
Infrastructure as Code using Terraform across multiple environments
Secure, reliable CI/CD platforms for infrastructure, Kubernetes workloads, serverless services, and database deployments
Azure and AWS networking design (VNet architecture, segmentation, private endpoints, traffic flow)
Developer enablement through templates, documentation, and self-service tooling
Observability: metrics, logs, tracing, and actionable alerting
Secure access patterns including RBAC, managed identities, and database access controls
Production incident response and root cause analysis
Define and improve service reliability standards, including SLOs, SLAs, and resilience design patterns
SOC audit readiness and secure-by-design practices
Reducing technical debt and shifting from reactive firefighting to proactive design
Participate in an on-call rotation
What You Bring To The Table:
6+ years in cloud infrastructure engineering (DevOps, Cloud Architecture, SRE), including at least 2 years in a Platform Engineer capacity
2+ years hands-on Azure production experience including compute, storage, networking and serverless services.
Experience working in a SaaS product company
Advanced proficiency in Kubernetes and containerization (Docker, Helm), including managing and optimizing production clusters
Proficiency in Infrastructure as Code (Terraform preferred)
Experience designing and owning end-to-end CI/CD platforms (Azure DevOps and/or GitHub), with GitOps mastery.
Experience implementing monitoring, logging, alerting, and tracing solutions using Azure-native tools and OpenTelemetry
Proven production incident response and leading troubleshooting efforts
Experience improving developer productivity through internal tooling and automation
Strong proficiency in at least one scripting/programming language (e.g., Python, Bash)
Experience managing production databases (performance, scaling, backups, access control, resilience)
Strong understanding of cloud security best practices and operating in regulated environments (SOC, fintech, payroll, healthcare)
A systems thinker accountable for production systems, collaborative in approach, and focused on enabling teams through automation and modern tooling.
Bonus points if:
Azure and/or AWS certifications
DevSecOps or SRE experience
What We Bring To The Table:
Impact: Roll up your sleeves and directly contribute to the growth and success of Wagepoint by shaping our workforce.
Culture: The opportunity to work with the world’s friendliest team, solving interesting problems together with an endless amount of laughter (We work hard, but we always have time for a bad joke or two).
Growth: Opportunities for professional development and career advancement - we are always, always learning with a growth oriented mindset.
Innovation: Work in an environment that encourages creativity and new ideas.
Remote: The ability to work from home, forever! Wagepoint is a remote company, so you don’t have to worry about commuting to an office. Plus, more time with your pets is always a bonus!
Ready to embark on an exciting journey with us? Apply now and help us build the future of Wagepoint!

Next Steps:
If all the above feels right and proper, please don’t feel like you need to send us an uninspired cover letter. Just send us your updated resume and perhaps a few lines on what excites you about the job - we really want to get to know who you are, not just about how we can work together. If we believe you’re a good match, someone from our team will reach out to schedule a call.
Psssst!
Wagepoint is an equal opportunity employer. We welcome and appreciate all applicants with diverse backgrounds, races, religions, genders, identities, ages, experiences (the list goes on!).

We are a remote company, so there's no need to travel to an office for an interview, but if you require any special accommodation during our recruitment process, please let us know. We are more than happy to assist!
