Platform Engineer

About this role

About Augur Augur transforms legacy sensor systems into real-time operational intelligence. We help organisations act before threats escalate – not after damage is done. Everything we build is privacy-first by design. Our platform connects to existing cameras and sensors to detect threats, retrace events, and surface real-time insights – all without replacing a single device. Augur helps teams reduce risk, cut costs, and grow revenue through better visibility, faster decisions, and fewer blind spots.

Our culture is built on a foundation of radical candor and mutual trust. We recognise that being an industry leader requires more than just building exceptional products – it requires empowering a team of exceptional people. Individually, we operate with high autonomy; collectively, we’re unified by a shared drive to achieve our mission through a commitment to excellence. The Role As a Platform Engineer at Augur, you will be responsible for the availability, performance, and scalability of our critical systems.

You will bridge the gap between software development and IT operations by applying a software engineering mindset to system administration. ● System Architecture and Design: Design, build, and maintain the core infrastructure that runs our platforms. Develop scalable, secure and highly reliable systems to support our services. ● Automation and Tooling: Automate manual operational tasks, including deployment, monitoring, and incident response.

Develop and maintain tools to improve efficiency and reduce the potential for human error. ● Software Development: Write and review code (Ansible, Terraform, Python) for infrastructure automation, monitoring tools, and system improvements. Contribute to the development lifecycle to ensure reliability is built into our products from the start. ● Performance and Reliability: Proactively monitor system performance, identify bottlenecks, and implement solutions to ensure high availability and low latency.

Fill in the gaps in monitoring systems when observed. ● Incident Management: Participate in an on-call rotation to respond to production incidents. Lead incident response, conduct root cause analysis (RCA), and implement preventative measures to avoid future occurrences. ● Capacity Planning: Analyse system usage, cost and performance data to make informed decisions about resource allocation. Forecast future infrastructure needs and scale our systems accordingly.
