About the Role
CapIntel is growing a Platform Engineering team to strengthen the architecture, reliability, and scalability of our systems. We’re looking for a Senior Platform Developer with a solid background in software development to help build and maintain internal tools, cloud infrastructure, and CI/CD workflows that improve the developer experience and support secure, efficient product delivery.
This role focuses on platform and tooling, but familiarity with application-layer technologies is important. You’ll collaborate closely with product teams and may contribute to service design or integration when needed.
What You'll Do
Improve development workflows: Work with engineering and product teams to reduce friction and improve consistency throughout the development lifecycle.
Design and manage cloud infrastructure: Use Infrastructure as Code to create secure, scalable AWS environments that support product development.
Standardize deployment processes: Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines that enable automation and reliable software delivery.
Develop platform tools and services: Build internal tools, libraries, and services that improve operational efficiency and support self-service for development teams.
Support best practices: Contribute to the development and adoption of cloud, security, and reliability standards across the organization.
Apply strong engineering skills: Write maintainable code and contribute to scalable system design with a focus on long-term stability and clarity.
What We're Looking For
Software development experience: Comfortable building and maintaining software using modern programming languages (e.g., TypeScript, Python, Go, or similar).
AWS infrastructure knowledge: Experience designing and operating cloud environments using core AWS services.
Infrastructure as Code: Familiarity with tools like AWS CDK or Terraform to define and manage infrastructure.
CI/CD workflows: Hands-on experience with automated deployment pipelines and release processes.
Cloud security and observability: Understanding of monitoring, alerting, and security practices in production environments.
Collaborative mindset: Experience working with cross-functional teams and contributing to shared goals.
Bonus Experience
Experience with observability platforms such as Splunk, Datadog, or New Relic.
Background in security-focused development or threat modelling.
Familiarity with secure coding practices, including frameworks like OWASP Top 10 or MITRE ATT&CK.
