# Platform Engineer - Company: [Clera]() - Location: Singapore - Team: Engineering - Employment type: Full Time - Salary: $150K – $250K - Posted: September 10, 2026 ## Job description ### About the Role This is a backend-architecture-heavy Platform Engineer role on a tight-knit engineering team of roughly 15 people, sitting at the intersection of reliability, scalability, and developer experience. You will own the core infrastructure that keeps a fast-moving AI/ML platform running at scale, making it faster, cheaper, and safer for the whole team to build and ship. ### What You'll Do * Own production uptime, latency, provisioning speed, infrastructure cost, and incident response for core platform services. * Build and maintain AWS infrastructure using Terraform, Kubernetes/EKS, Helm, Docker, EC2, CodeBuild, ECR, S3, IAM, networking, and secrets management. * Design and improve backend and platform systems for scale, covering capacity planning, autoscaling, queueing, backpressure, cleanup jobs, retries, and rollback paths. * Define and continuously improve dashboards, alerts, logs, traces, SLOs, runbooks, and on-call workflows so failures are detected and resolved quickly. * Build reliable CI/CD pipelines, release automation, environment management, and deployment workflows that improve developer productivity and reduce production risk. * Write clean, maintainable code to automate systems, improve backend services, and create internal developer tooling. ### What We're Looking For * 2 to 4 years of experience owning production cloud infrastructure for a high-availability, user-facing platform, with direct responsibility for uptime, performance, deployment safety, and cost. * Deep hands-on experience with AWS and containerized systems; strong familiarity with Terraform, Kubernetes/EKS, Docker, EC2, networking, load balancers, and secrets management. * A track record of building or operating CI/CD, release automation, observability, alerting, and incident response systems. * Strong backend engineering judgment across service architecture, APIs, databases, async systems, queues, and production failure modes. * Experience designing systems for bursty workloads, long-running jobs, sandboxed execution, distributed workers, or high-concurrency services. * Prior exposure to AI/ML platform engineering or software engineering in an AI/ML context; generic DevOps or infrastructure-only backgrounds are not a strong fit. * Experience operating infrastructure for data-heavy, ML/AI, workflow, marketplace, developer-tools, or enterprise platforms is a plus. * Demonstrated focus on reducing cloud spend through better architecture, autoscaling, workload placement, caching, or cleanup systems. * High ownership mindset and genuine interest in learning; strong technical aptitude matters more than a specific number of years. ### Compensation & Benefits Salary range: **$150,000 to $250,000 USD annually**. Visa sponsorship is available. ### Location On-site in **Singapore**. Candidates based in San Francisco are also considered on-site there; fully remote arrangements are available for candidates based in Europe or other regions outside the US and Southeast Asia. ## Apply [Apply on Clera]() Canonical job page:
