Senior Platform Engineer - Quality & Security

Senior Platform Engineer

At Perry Weather, we're at the forefront of providing innovative weather safety solutions. Thousands of users trust our fast-growing weather safety platform across various industries, including school districts, cities, universities, golf courses, professional sports, and more. Our cutting-edge software and connected hardware empower organizations to make rapid decisions when faced with weather disruptions, ensuring the safety of individuals and the smooth operation of activities/events.

We're looking for a Senior Platform Engineer who will take ownership of our quality and security enablement initiatives across the engineering organization. This role is critical to scaling our ability to deliver fast, safe, and reliable software. You won't be responsible for performing QA on each feature — instead, you'll build the infrastructure, processes, and guardrails that empower every engineer on our team to evaluate and uphold the quality and security of their changes. In addition to leading this enablement effort, you'll provide backup support to our Lead Platform Engineer, ensuring the stability and scalability of our Azure-based platform.

What You'll Own:

• Quality & Security Enablement
• Design and implement automated testing frameworks, CI/CD gates, and secure-by-default infrastructure components.
• Define best practices for test coverage, automated checks, and secure development.
• Build tools, templates, and documentation that make it easy for engineers to write, run, and evaluate tests and security checks.
• Partner with senior engineers to integrate quality and security into the SDLC without slowing down velocity.
• Establish and monitor baseline metrics for platform quality and security.

• Platform Infrastructure Support
• Serve as backup to our current Infrastructure Engineer for managing and evolving our Azure-hosted infrastructure, including AKS, Azure SQL, Azure Service Bus, and other cloud services.
• Collaborate on improving CI/CD pipelines in GitHub Actions, including deployment workflows, secrets management, and environment configurations.
• Contribute to infrastructure-as-code (IaC) efforts to ensure reproducibility and scalability.

• On-Call & Incident Support
• Participate in our on-call rotation (up to 7 weeks/year), providing timely response and coordination during critical incidents.
