Our single, cloud-native, end-to-end capital markets platform powers investor growth today and is transforming how they can interact with markets tomorrow.\nFor more information, visit https://clearstreet.io.\nThe Role\nAs a Platform Engineer, your customers are our engineers.\nYou'll build the internal platform that enables product teams to ship software faster, safer, and with greater confidence. Rather than simply managing infrastructure, you'll create self-service capabilities, intelligent automation, and reusable platform services that eliminate operational complexity and allow engineers to focus on building products.\nYou will partner closely with software engineers to understand friction in the development lifecycle and turn those pain points into scalable platform capabilities.\nYou'll work on problems like:\nBuild self-service developer platforms that enable engineers to provision infrastructure, deploy applications, manage secrets, and access shared services with minimal operational overhead.\nCreate reusable platform services and SDKs including identity & authorization, secrets management, deployment orchestration, service discovery, configuration management, and platform APIs.\nDesign opinionated \"golden paths\" that make the easiest way also the best way for engineers to build, test, deploy, and operate software.\nBuild intelligent CI/CD platforms that reduce deployment time, improve release confidence, and automate testing, security, and compliance.\nImprove developer workflows by investing in local development environments, faster build systems, ephemeral environments, and platform automation.\nContinuously measure and improve developer productivity through platform metrics, engineering insights, and workflow optimization.\nCollaborate with application teams to simplify software delivery, improve reliability, and remove operational toil through automation.\nBuild platform capabilities that improve scalability, resiliency, observability, and operational excellence across the engineering organization.\nChampion Infrastructure as Code, GitOps, and platform engineering best practices while helping teams adopt modern engineering workflows.\nExperiment with emerging technologies, AI-assisted development, and developer tooling that transforms how engineers build software.\nThe Team\nWe believe great engineering organizations are built on great developer experiences. Our Platform Engineering team builds the internal products, services, and automation that every engineer depends on every day. We treat our platform as a product, with engineers as our customers and developer productivity as our north star.\nOur mission is to remove friction from software delivery by creating intuitive, self-service platforms that make infrastructure invisible, deployments effortless, and operational excellence the default.\nYou'll work across every engineering team to understand their challenges, identify opportunities for automation, and build platform capabilities that scale with the organization. Whether it's reducing deployment time from hours to minutes, enabling one-click environment creation, or building reusable platform APIs, your work will have an immediate impact on every engineer at the company.\nIf you're passionate about building tools that thousands of engineering workflows depend on-and enjoy solving complex distributed systems problems while improving the daily lives of other engineers-you'll thrive here.\nWhat We're Looking For\nWe're looking for engineers who enjoy building platforms rather than operating infrastructure.\nYou should have:\n5+ years of experience in Platform Engineering, Software Engineering, Infrastructure Engineering, DevOps, or Site Reliability Engineering.\nStrong software engineering fundamentals with experience building production-quality software in Go, Python, Java, or similar languages.\nExperience designing developer platforms, internal tooling, automation frameworks, or shared engineering services.\nDeep understanding of cloud-native technologies, Kubernetes, Linux, containers, and distributed systems.\nExperience building modern CI/CD platforms and software delivery pipelines using tools such as GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, ArgoCD, Jenkins, or similar technologies.\nExperience with Infrastructure as Code using Terraform or comparable technologies.\nA product mindset-you think about usability, adoption, documentation, and developer experience when building internal platforms.\nPassion for automation and eliminating repetitive manual work.\nStrong communication skills and the ability to partner with engineering teams to understand problems and deliver scalable solutions.\nCuriosity to continuously explore emerging technologies, platform engineering practices, and AI-powered developer tooling.\nThe Technology You'll Work With\nYou'll build on a modern cloud-native platform that includes:\nKubernetes\nAWS\nTerraform\nArgoCD\nGitHub Actions\nHelm\nKafka\nTemporal\nPostgreSQL\nSnowflake\nDatadog\nGo, Java, Python\ngRPC & Protobuf\nTilt\nInternal Platform APIs and Developer Tooling\nWhat Success Looks Like\nWithin your first year, you'll help create a platform that enables engineers to:\nDeploy services in minutes through self-service workflows.\nProvision infrastructure without opening support tickets.\nSpin up development environments on demand.\nBuild and release software through standardized, automated pipelines.\nResolve issues faster with best-in-class observability and diagnostics.\nSpend less time on operational tasks and more time delivering customer value.\nYour impact won't be measured by the number of servers you manage-it will be measured by how much faster and happier our engineers become.\nThe Base Salary Range is $150,000 - $200,000.
