Job Description
- Self-directed, hands-on platform engineer able to independently investigate ambiguous technical problems, evaluate tradeoffs, and drive solutions with limited day-to-day direction.
- Strong technical judgment and problem-solving skills, with the ability to quickly learn established codebases, platform conventions, and architectural patterns.
- Ability to take loosely defined technical needs from discovery and design through implementation, testing, and documentation.
- Strong collaborative skills, including proactively engaging subject-matter experts when requirements or technical expectations are unclear and incorporating feedback into future work.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to clearly explain technical decisions, assumptions, tradeoffs, blockers, and recommendations.
- Product-oriented mindset focused on building reusable, maintainable platform capabilities that improve developer selfservice and experience.
- Comfortable using AI-assisted development tools while maintaining ownership of technical decisions, validating generated output, and understanding the resulting solutions.
Primary Responsibilities
- Design and implement reusable automation across CI/CD, infrastructure provisioning, environment management, and developer workflows.
- Build and enhance pipelines for application builds, image management, Terraform module publishing, environment promotion, and other software delivery processes.
- Develop and maintain reusable infrastructure-as-code modules, templates, platform tooling, and developer enablement capabilities.
- Identify opportunities to improve platform consistency, maintainability, usability, automation, and developer self-service.
- Research, prototype, and integrate AI-assisted capabilities into developer and platform engineering workflows, including approaches for context management, evaluation, governance, and integration with existing tooling.
- Develop developer-facing templates, guardrails, examples, documentation, and onboarding experiences.
- Partner with CPE, Architecture, Cybersecurity, Infrastructure, and application teams to develop reusable platform patterns aligned with organizational security, compliance, and architectural standards.
- Document technical decisions, engineering patterns, and platform capabilities for adoption and ongoing support.
Minimum Requirements / Education
- 5+ years of experience in DevOps, Platform Engineering, Cloud Engineering, or infrastructure/software automation.
- Strong AWS experience, including cloud architecture, IAM, networking, compute, containers, and serverless technologies.
- Strong proficiency with Terraform and infrastructure-as-code design patterns.
- Significant experience designing and developing CI/CD pipelines and reusable delivery automation; Jenkins experience preferred.
- Experience with containerized application and development workflows using technologies such as Docker, ECS, and Kubernetes.
- Proficiency with at least one scripting or general-purpose programming language such as Python, Bash, Go, or similar.
- Experience developing reusable automation, platform tooling, or internal developer capabilities intended for use across multiple teams.
- Experience working with enterprise source control, artifact management, and software delivery tooling; experience with
- Bitbucket, Artifactory, Scalr, or Terraform Cloud/Enterprise is desirable.
- Experience with internal developer platforms, AI-enabled developer tooling, Docs-as-Code, GitOps, observability, security/compliance automation, or similar platform engineering capabilities is desirable.
