Platform engineer

About the Company

Client is seeking a Cloud Platform Engineer who designs systems that deliver consistent, reliable outcomes, not just executes tasks. This role is focused on building repeatable, scalable cloud patterns and processes that reduce operational overhead, enforce consistency, and enable teams to move faster with confidence.

About the Role

An ideal Candidate will play a key role in shaping platform capabilities, improving existing environments, and establishing guardrails that support secure, cost-effective, and reliable cloud operations at scale.

Responsibilities

Design and implement repeatable infrastructure and workflows using Infrastructure as Code (Ia C)

Build platform systems and guardrails that enforce consistency, security, and reliability by default

Continuously improve existing (brownfield) environments through iterative, pragmatic enhancements

Apply Fin Ops principles in architecture and engineering decisions to balance cost, performance, and scalability

Thoughtfully evaluate tradeoffs, knowing when to optimize, when to prioritize business velocity, and when to accept risk

Automate repetitive tasks and standardize processes to reduce manual effort and operational variability

Contribute to architecture patterns, best practices, and shared platform capabilities across the organization

Create and maintain clear documentation for systems, workflows, and engineering decisions

Collaborate with cross-functional stakeholders and communicate decisions in a way that builds trust and confidentiality.

Qualifications

Strong experience with AWS and core cloud architecture concepts

Proficiency with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform preferred)

Experience with automation and scripting (e.g., Python, Bash)

Solid understanding of cloud security best practices and the AWS Well-Architected Framework

Familiarity with modern cloud architecture patterns, including:

APIs and service-based architectures

Event-driven systems

CI/CD pipelines

Strong documentation habits and version control discipline

Emphasis on best practices related to security, scalability, reliability, and user experience

Ability to uplift and standardize less mature or inconsistent environments

Focus on building long-term, maintainable solutions rather than short-term fixes.
