Location: San Jose, CA (Onsite)
Job Type: Contract
Overview
- Client is seeking a Platform Operator / AMS resource with strong IT operations, platform reliability, and DevOps exposure to support and operate an existing cloud-based platform.
- Development work is minimal and secondary to operations.
- The primary requirement is platform ownership and operational reliability, not new feature development.
Operations vs. Development Split
Operations: ~95%
Development: ~5%
Note
- Not a full-stack developer role
- Not a build-from-scratch role
- Profiles that are heavily development- or coding-focused are likely to be a mismatch.
Ideal Profile
- The right fit will demonstrate a “run-the-platform” mindset, with hands‑on experience in operating and supporting production platforms.
- Strong alignment will be seen in candidates who have:
- Operated a similar platform in a production environment
- Experience in AMS / platform operations
- Comfort owning platform stability, reliability, and availability end‑to‑end
- Pure developers or build-heavy profiles are not aligned to the current need.
