Senior Platform Engineer - Core

Fanatics
New York, NY
Job Description
Role Overview

Fanatics is building a leading global digital sports platform. The Platform Engineering team owns foundational AWS infrastructure and ingress, Terraform infrastructure-as-code and change management, GitHub and CI/CD governance, Datadog-based observability, and developer tooling. The team operates with a product-first mindset that treats developers as customers.

What You Will Do

As a Senior Platform Engineer, you will work across cloud infrastructure, Kubernetes platforms, CI/CD systems, and internal developer tooling. You will own and deliver medium-to-large platform projects from implementation through production, build and maintain internal platform services and tooling, and drive cloud cost efficiency and optimization.

Why It Might Be a Fit

You will thrive here if you own work end-to-end and deliver independently once a project is scoped, comfortable partnering across Product Engineering, Security, and Infrastructure IT to unblock delivery, and care about platform reliability, developer experience, and long-term system health.
