THE OPPORTUNITY

As a Senior Platform Engineer, you’ll design, build, and operate the infrastructure and tooling our engineers depend on every day. This is a hands-on IC role with broad ownership, measured by the leverage you give other teams rather than tickets closed. No on-call rotation.

RESPONSIBILITIES

  • Design, build, and operate secure, scalable, multi-account AWS infrastructure using Terraform, with reusable modules that drive consistency and reduce configuration drift.
  • Evolve our CI/CD pipelines and deployment automation to enable faster, safer, and more reliable releases.
  • Build self-service platforms and automation that reduce developer friction and manual operational toil.
  • Implement monitoring, observability, and alerting that improve operational visibility and incident readiness.
  • Drive AWS cost optimization and operational efficiencies without slowing engineering velocity.
  • Partner closely with engineering teams to understand their needs, remove friction from their workflows, and turn recurring pain points into self-service solutions. 

REQUIRED SKILLS

  • Minimum of Associate’s Degree, Bachelor’s Degree preferred.
  • 7+ years in platform, infrastructure, DevOps, or SRE, with deep hands-on AWS. 
  • Strong expertise with Terraform and multi-account, multi-environment IaC patterns at scale, including remote state management (S3/DynamoDB). 
  • Strong experience with modern CI/CD systems and automated deployment pipelines (GitHub Actions preferred). 
  • Experience with AWS compute: EC2 and containerized workloads on ECS/Fargate (Docker). 
  • Experience supporting production databases such as MongoDB, PostgreSQL, and MySQL. 
  • Experience with observability platforms: CloudWatch and New Relic or similar. 
  • Strong software engineering skills in Python or TypeScript: you build platform tooling and automation as production-grade software (tested, versioned, operable), not one-off scripts. 
  • You think in distributed systems: failure modes, idempotency, retries, and backpressure, and how infrastructure design decisions shape application reliability at scale. 
  • Experience supporting SOC 2 audits and compliance in regulated environments.

The bar is higher than using AI tools day to day. Specifically: 

  • You delegate whole pieces of work to autonomous agents, run several in parallel, and review and direct their output rather than hand-typing most of it. Infrastructure code is no exception. 
  • You have built the scaffolding that makes agents effective: skills, prompts, MCP integrations, evals, and the guardrails that let agents touch infrastructure safely.
  • You know how to operationalize AI-generated changes in production environments: policy checks, plan-review gates, and blast-radius controls, so agent speed never outruns safety.
  • Experience with AI-enabled operational workflows and LLM platforms such as Amazon Bedrock.
  • Candidates should expect to show us how they actually work with agents during the interview process. 

PREFERRED SKILLS

  • Internal developer platform experience, including self-service infrastructure for engineering teams. 
  • EKS / Kubernetes experience: a direction we’re beginning to explore. 
  • A track record of modernizing manual, older deployment and infrastructure patterns toward fully automated models. 
  • Experience thriving in a high-autonomy, remote-first engineering culture. 
  • Experience with secure SDLC and software supply-chain security (e.g., Dependabot, push protection, dependency and secret scanning). 
  • Familiarity with AWS security posture tooling (GuardDuty, Security Hub, Config) is a plus.

Compensation will be determined based on experience, skills, and qualifications.

As a government contractor subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA), we request this information in order to measure the effectiveness of the outreach and positive recruitment efforts we undertake pursuant to VEVRAA. Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "disabled veteran" is one of the following: a veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

An "Armed forces service medal veteran" means a veteran who, while serving on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service, participated in a United States military operation for which an Armed Forces service medal was awarded pursuant to Executive Order 12985.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
