Platform (Scaffolding) Engineer

Company: Cygnify

Location: Remote (Malaysia)

We are partnering with a leading technology-driven telecommunications organization scaling rapidly to support new digital initiatives and platforms. This is an opportunity to work on large-scale systems with innovative technologies in a collaborative environment where your skills and ideas make a real impact.

Role Mission

The Platform (Scaffolding) Engineer designs, implements, and maintains reusable templates and automation pipelines stored in Bitbucket to accelerate service onboarding, standardize infrastructure and code patterns, and support the paved-road developer experience. This role ensures engineering teams can quickly spin up new services with integrated observability, security, and feature-flag capabilities while following enterprise best practices.

Key Accountabilities

• Develop and maintain reusable code, infrastructure, and service scaffolds stored in Bitbucket for microservices and serverless workloads
• Integrate scaffolds with the internal developer portal (Backstage) to enable automated service creation and onboarding workflows
• Embed platform standards, security controls, observability, CI/CD pipelines as code, and feature-flag integrations (GrowthBook) into all scaffolds
• Collaborate with Platform Architect, Senior Platform Engineer, and application teams to refine scaffolding workflows and improve developer experience
• Ensure scaffolds and automation are maintainable, version-controlled, and extensible for future platform enhancements

Core Responsibilities

• Build and maintain scaffolding templates including Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform/CloudFormation), code boilerplate, configuration-as-code (CaC), and CI/CD pipelines as code in Bitbucket repositories
• Integrate scaffolds into Backstage templates to support self-service onboarding for engineering teams
• Include default Splunk observability, logging, monitoring, security, compliance, CI/CD pipelines as code, and feature-flag (GrowthBook) integrations into all scaffolds
• Review, maintain, and iterate scaffolds based on developer feedback and adoption metrics
• Collaborate with security, compliance, and DevOps teams to enforce platform standards and ensure secure and compliant scaffolds
• Maintain proper version control, branching strategies, and code review practices in Bitbucket to ensure quality and traceability

Required Skills & Experience

This role requires strong expertise in Infrastructure-as-Code, CI/CD pipeline design, and platform engineering practices. You should have hands-on experience with Bitbucket, Backstage, Terraform or CloudFormation, and observability tools like Splunk. Experience with feature management platforms (such as GrowthBook), microservices architecture, and serverless technologies is essential. Strong collaboration skills and a passion for improving developer experience are critical.
