Platform Engineer

Tokyo
Partial Remote
Full-time
September 25, 2025

About the Role

We’re looking for a Platform Engineer to help scale and improve our infrastructure and developer tooling. You’ll join a small, high-impact team working closely with SREs, developers, and engineering leadership to support the growth of our platform and practices.

For this role we’re expecting to hire at the junior to mid level, but if you’re a senior with more experience we would strongly encourage you to apply. If you’re earlier in your career, we’ll support your development with mentorship and opportunities to grow. If you’re more experienced, you’ll take on more technical ownership, contribute to long-term strategy, and have the chance to mentor others.

The ideal candidate will likely be coming from a path of having been a Software Engineer first with some exposure to platform tooling, e.g. GitHub Actions and be either interested in making the leap from Software Engineer to Platform Engineer or perhaps already have 1 -2 years experience in a similar Platform role. If you’re coming from a background of having been a Systems Admin / Systems Engineer, this will likely not be a good fit for you.

You’ll be joining a collaborative team: two SRE Engineers, one Platform Engineer, and you. You’ll report to the SRE team manager. While we loosely split responsibilities between SRE (AWS, security, reliability) and Platform (CI/CD, DX, internal tooling), we work together closely and pitch in across domains when needed.

Responsibilities

Tooling and Configuration Management

Maintain and improve shared ESLint configurations for frontend and backend projects.
Manage and maintain shared internal npm packages, ensuring they are up-to-date, versioned, and well-documented.
Set up and maintain tools like Husky, lint-staged, commitlint, and semantic-release for consistent commits and automated releases.
Maintain mobile DART / Flutter app with fastlane automation.
Manage and maintain Renovate for keeping dependencies up to date.

CI/CD Pipelines

Collaborate with the team to improve GitHub Actions workflows for CI/CD.
Build and maintain a shared GitHub Actions library using composite actions and reusable workflows for consistent automation.
Optimize pipeline performance and reliability to improve feedback loops.

Testing and Linting

Enhance and maintain configurations for Vitest (Jest experience is acceptable), and other testing tools such as Playwright.
Create automated solutions to ensure testing reliability and fast execution in CI/CD.

Developer Experience (DX)

Support frontend/backend development setups, including configurations for tools like Nuxt, TypeScript, and other modern frameworks.
Work on improving onboarding scripts and templates to ensure engineers can start contributing quickly.
Document tools, processes, and best practices to keep the engineering team aligned.
Create and maintain reusable backend clients and frontend Nuxt plugins.

Automation

Identify areas of manual effort across the development workflow and automate them where possible.
Ensure developer tools integrate seamlessly with local and remote environments.

Other

Learn on the job with support and mentorship from senior teammates.

Must to have

Technical Skills

CI/CD Pipelines: Experience with GitHub Actions (preferred), CircleCI, or similar—bonus points for reusable workflows.
JavaScript/TypeScript/node.js: Strong JavaScript, ideally TypeScript, and node.js skills and experience are essential for this role.
Developer Experience (DX): Experience improving local dev workflows or integrating tools like ESLint, LocalStack, LaunchDarkly, Mixpanel, Sentry, Mock Service Worker or Storybook.
App Development Experience: although this role does not require app development, a strong understanding of app development and empathy for Engineers needs / DX is essential.

System Design

Able to design or contribute to secure, resilient, and scalable systems.

Collaboration & Growth

Enthusiastic about working closely with other engineers to solve platform challenges.
If senior-level Comfortable mentoring others, running design reviews, and driving best practices.
If junior-level Eager to learn, ask questions, and build confidence over time.

Mindset

Automation-first: Proactively reduces manual, repetitive tasks.
Productive: Looks for ways to make developer workflows faster and smoother.
Growth-oriented: Excited to evolve alongside a fast-moving team and tech stack.

About amptalk

amptalk's mission is to maximize the time people spend with each other and to create opportunities that did not exist in the world until today.

They aim to create a society where people can live more efficiently by accomplishing tasks that humans alone can not do.

amptalk develops and markets products that allow users to focus more on high-level sales activities and accelerate sales generation through the use of voice recognition and various AI technologies. They hope to help create more opportunities in the world by developing these efficient and effective sales tools.

amptalk’s mission is to create "a world where people are empowered around conversations”.

They are creating a world where each and every person is empowered by using software to streamline and eliminate unnecessary tasks, and by using software to do what people have been unable to do until now. Conversation accounts for a large percentage of people's lives in society, and the concept of negotiation is not only used in business negotiations, but also in all aspects of human life, including romantic relationships. Yet, many aspects of conversations have not been given much opportunity to be reevaluated. amptalk presents such opportunities through developing software to create a world in which each individual is empowered and all users are happy.

Why amptalk - "An exceptional team with a deep understanding of pain points"

amptalk is a product-driven team that respects each other and is committed to excellence. They are a team of people who respect each other and are committed to being the best. They work in a diverse environment of nationalities and languages, unlearning from past experiences and sometimes using them as ideas to provide innovative solutions for their users and to make the world a more amazing place. amptalk focuses on creating products that solve problems by removing the focus from unnecessary and uninspiring tasks.

MISSION, VISION, and VALUE

MISSION - Maximize the time people spend with each other. The responsibility of sales and other customer-facing positions is to determine how much time they can spend with customers in a higher-quality manner. amptalk will unlock sales operations to maximize the amount of time spent talking to customers, and minimizing all the peripheral operations and communication barriers that are preventing the forementioned.

VISION - To create opportunities that didn't exist yesterday. The world is losing countless opportunities due to the inefficiencies of conversations and human behavior. By streamlining all sales-related tasks, such as training and administrative work, amptalk will create opportunities that didn’t have the chance to exist before.

VALUES

GET IT DONE

The best people are those who take initiative and execute. Ideas and theories alone accomplish nothing. Don't be a critic. Act first, instead of overthinking.

EXTREME OWNERSHIP

Let's stop drawing lines based on roles or titles. Break down barriers and treat everything as your own responsibility. Treat problems happening elsewhere as your own, and step outside the box to challenge yourself if it helps the team move forward.

EXPLORER

In a rapidly changing world, we applaud those who have a proactive spirit of exploring and taking on new challenges, and are always eager to try new things.

GIVE FIRST

Do good without expecting anything in return. Acting bases on short-term gains alone won't lead to real change. Put yourself in the shoes of society, our customers, and others, and act on what truly matters.
