Platform engineers, for SaaS.

SaaS lives and dies on uptime and unit economics. Re:Sourced recruits the platform, SRE and DevOps engineers who keep multi-tenant products fast and reliable while holding the cloud bill down as usage scales.

The profile

What SaaS platform engineers actually do.

The work spans multi-tenant architecture and isolation, internal developer platforms that let product teams ship safely, CI/CD and release engineering, observability and SLOs, and the FinOps discipline that keeps cost-per-tenant sustainable. Reliability is a product feature when customers are paying for uptime.

The differentiator is operating multi-tenant systems at scale with cost economics in view, plus increasingly the AI-infrastructure overlap (GPU scheduling, inference serving) that now commands a premium. Typical stack: AWS, GCP or Azure, Kubernetes, Terraform and an internal developer platform layer.
