The Platform Engineer is responsible for designing, building, and maintaining enterprise technology platforms that enable teams across the organization to deliver solutions securely, efficiently, and consistently.

This role focuses on developing and supporting shared platform capabilities that power software delivery, data integration, file transfer, observability, and analytics. The Platform Engineer creates automation, self-service capabilities, reusable engineering patterns, and platform integrations that improve productivity and reduce complexity for platform consumers.

The Platform Engineering team owns the platforms themselves, ensuring they remain secure, reliable, scalable, and easy to consume. Business and operational teams use these platforms to execute their day-to-day processes.

Key Accountabilities/Deliverables:

  • Design and implement highly available, fault-tolerant architectures using cloud-native services (microservices, containers, serverless)

  • Define and operationalize SLOs, SLIs, and error budgets for critical applications and platforms

  • Build and maintain Infrastructure as Code (IaC) (Terraform) to ensure repeatable and compliant deployments

  • Develop automated remediation and self-healing capabilities to reduce MTTR and improve system resilience

  • Establish enterprise-level monitoring, logging, and observability frameworks (Datadog, Azure Monitor, CloudWatch, OpenTelemetry, Azure Application Insights)

  • Drive cost optimization (FinOps) initiatives, including resource utilization tracking and rightsizing recommendations

  • Support DR/BCP strategy execution, including failover testing and regional isolation validation

  • Collaborate with application teams to embed reliability engineering practices into CI/CD pipelines


Experience:

Applicants must be authorized to work for any employer in the U.S.  We are unable to sponsor or take over work authorization sponsorship now or in the future for this position. 

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Engineering, or equivalent experience.

  • Experience working with cloud platforms, preferably Microsoft Azure.

  • Experience with Infrastructure-as-Code tools such as Terraform.

  • Experience with source control platforms and CI/CD pipelines.

  • Knowledge of automation and scripting using PowerShell, Python, Bash, or similar languages.

  • Knowledge of Power Platform 

  • Understanding of modern software delivery and DevOps practices.

  • Familiarity with monitoring, observability, and troubleshooting tools.

  • Strong problem-solving and collaboration skills.
