Senior SaaS Platform Engineer
CapTech
Company Description CapTech is an award-winning consulting firm that collaborates with clients to achieve what's possible through the power of technology. At CapTech, we're passionate about the work we do and the results we achieve for our clients. From the outset, our founders shared a collective passion to create a consultancy centered on strong relationships that would stand the test of time. Today we work alongside clients that include Fortune 100 companies, mid-sized enterprises, and government agencies, a list that spans across the country. Job Description The Opportunity: CapTech is seeking an experienced SaaS platform engineer to play a senior, hands-on role in the engineering, administration, and evolution of our enterprise application ecosystem.
This is not a traditional "support-only" role. You will serve as a technical owner and subject matter expert for critical SaaS and cloud platforms, driving automation, security, scalability, and user experience improvements across the organization. You'll partner closely with IT Operations, InfoSec, and Business teams to design solutions that scale and you'll have the autonomy to influence tooling, architecture, and operational standards.
If you enjoy deep technical problem-solving, building elegant automation, and improving how modern enterprises actually work, this role offers meaningful scope and visibility.
What You'll Do:
CapTech is an equal opportunity employer committed to fostering a culture of equality, inclusion and fairness - each foundational to our core values. We strive to create a diverse environment where each employee is encouraged to bring their unique ideas, backgrounds and experiences to the workplace.

At this time, CapTech cannot transfer nor sponsor a work visa for this position. Applicants must be authorized to work directly for any employer in the United States without visa sponsorship.

- Fringe -A company paid stipend program for personalized lifestyle benefits, allowing employees to choose benefits that matter most to them - ranging from vendors like Netflix, Spotify, and GrubHub to services like student loan repayment, travel, fitness, and more
- Employee Resource Groups - Employee-led committees that embrace and incorporate diversity and inclusion into our day-to-day operations
- Philanthropic Partnerships - Opportunities to engage in partnerships and pro-bono projects that support our communities.
