If you're passionate about AWS, DevOps, Infrastructure as Code, and AI-assisted software engineering, this is an opportunity to work on a highly visible initiative using cutting-edge technologies.

What You'll Do

As a senior member of the platform engineering team, you'll help build the cloud foundation that powers AI-enabled software development.

Responsibilities include:

• Migrate cloud automation, deployment workflows, and engineering playbooks from Azure to AWS.
• Design and implement reusable CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions.
• Build and maintain container deployment workflows using Amazon ECS on Fargate.
• Configure AWS services including IAM, ECR, Secrets Manager, Systems Manager, CloudWatch, VPC networking, and related platform services.
• Develop and maintain Infrastructure as Code using Terraform.
• Configure secure authentication using OIDC, IAM roles, and modern identity management practices.
• Adapt developer tooling and automation for cloud-based development workspaces.
• Partner with platform engineers to validate, optimize, and improve reusable engineering workflows.
• Leverage AI coding assistants to accelerate development while ensuring quality through thorough testing and technical review.
• Create technical documentation and knowledge transfer materials to support long-term platform adoption.

Required Technical Experience

• Senior-level experience building and supporting AWS cloud infrastructure.
• Strong knowledge of AWS services including ECS/Fargate, IAM, ECR, CloudWatch, Secrets Manager, SSM, VPC networking, and S3.
• Advanced Terraform experience, including reusable modules and infrastructure migrations.
• Hands-on experience building CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions.
• Experience deploying containerized applications using Docker.
• Strong scripting skills with Bash and Python.
• Experience working with Git and GitHub Enterprise.
• Ability to understand existing Azure implementations and successfully migrate them to AWS.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience using AI-powered development tools such as Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, or similar coding assistants.
• Experience with cloud-based developer environments such as Coder, GitHub Codespaces, or Dev Containers.
• Familiarity with AWS CDK, AWS Blocks, or similar infrastructure frameworks.
• Knowledge of Microsoft Entra ID, Azure AD, or OIDC-based identity federation.
• Experience with data platforms such as Snowflake, Amazon Redshift, or AWS Glue.
• Background in financial services, insurance, or another regulated industry.

Why You'll Love This Opportunity

• Help build an enterprise AI platform that will shape the future of software development.
• Work with cutting-edge AI engineering tools and modern AWS technologies.
• Solve complex cloud architecture and platform engineering challenges.
• Influence engineering standards, developer experience, and automation strategy.
• Collaborate with highly skilled cloud engineers on a high-impact enterprise initiative.
• Opportunity to work at the intersection of AI, DevOps, cloud infrastructure, and platform engineering.
