Platform Engineer

nCino offers exciting career opportunities for individuals who want to join the worldwide leader in cloud banking.

nCino's Technology Platform team exists to make other engineers faster. We build the internal tools, frameworks, and capabilities that product and solution teams depend on to develop, ship, and operate software at scale, and we're looking for a Software Engineer who wants to be on that side of the equation. In this role, you'll contribute across the full delivery lifecycle: breaking down complex work, writing high-quality code, strengthening CI/CD pipelines and test coverage, and collaborating across teams to remove friction and drive consistency. You'll work within an architectural framework built around developer experience, deployment reliability, governance, observability, and security.

We follow a Platform as a Product model - treating our internal teams as customers, and our platform as something we build with the same care, iteration, and accountability as any external product. Our platform engineers don't just understand what they're building, but why it matters to the teams depending on it. If you're someone who communicates clearly across technical and non-technical audiences, takes ownership of code quality, and brings genuine curiosity to AI-powered development practices, this is a team where that mindset will compound quickly.
