Backend Platform Engineer - Java/Python, AWS
We're looking for a seasoned Backend Platform Engineer to drive the design and evolution of internal platform services and cloud infrastructure that fuel developer velocity and operational excellence at scale. This role is ideal for an engineer who thrives on solving challenges, abstracting complexity, and enabling product teams to move fast with confidence.
Roles and Responsibilities Build reliable, scalable, and secure backend platform services using Java (preferred) or Python, focused on internal developer workflows (e.g., CI/CD, provisioning, bootstrapping). Build core Platform Components of our Internal Developer Platform (IDP), driving self-service capabilities and reducing toil across engineering teams. Design and build Cloud Infrastructure using Terraform and modern AWS services (e.g., EKS, IAM, Lambda, EC2, S3), following infrastructure-as-code and GitOps best practices. Embed Reliability & Observability by integrating monitoring, tracing, and alerting tools (e.g., CloudWatch, Datadog, ELK) into platform foundations.
