About the role

What will you do at BHE?

This is a multi-level posting. Candidates may be considered for any of the

posted levels, depending on their level of experience and depth of expertise.

Our team is building a modern internal platform that powers the development and

operation of critical business systems. The platform provides the foundational

infrastructure, cloud-native runtime environments, developer tooling, and

observability capabilities required to run reliable and scalable applications.

The platform spans multiple engineering domains including infrastructure,

Kubernetes-based container platforms, developer tooling, messaging platforms,

CI/CD systems, and observability platforms. These capabilities enable

application teams to deploy and operate services through standardized,

automated, and self-service workflows.

Our approach emphasizes software-driven infrastructure, infrastructure-as-code,

GitOps workflows, and modern observability practices. Engineers on the platform

team build production-grade systems that improve reliability, reduce operational

complexity, and accelerate software delivery across the organization.

The platform is built using technologies such as Kubernetes, Terraform,

Git-based workflows, Prometheus, Grafana, and OpenTelemetry.
