maintain reusable automation patterns for provisioning and managing enterprise platforms, including Databases, Integration, Middleware, Messaging, and related shared services.\nImprove developer experience by creating self-service workflows, clear platform interfaces, standardized templates, and well-documented onboarding paths for engineering teams.\nDevelop and maintain Terraform modules, infrastructure-as-code patterns, and automated lifecycle management capabilities for AWS-based platform services.\nBuild and extend CI/CD pipelines that support platform provisioning, configuration, testing, promotion, release, and ongoing operational changes.\nAutomate platform lifecycle activities such as provisioning, configuration, patching, scaling, backup integration, policy enforcement, decommissioning, and technical debt remediation.\nPartner with platform SMEs to convert repeatable operational procedures into reliable, testable, and supportable automation capabilities.\nImplement automation using AWS-native services, scripting, APIs, configuration management practices, and secure integration patterns.\nEmbed security, resiliency, observability, compliance, tagging, cost management, and operational standards into automation by default.\nCollaborate with Application Engineering, Platform Engineering, Cloud Engineering, Security, and Enterprise Architecture to ensure automation patterns align with enterprise standards and delivery needs.\nTroubleshoot complex automation, pipeline, and provisioning issues across cloud infrastructure, platform services, and developer-facing workflows.\nContribute to Agile delivery by defining technical stories, estimating work, maintaining Jira updates, and delivering incremental platform automation improvements.\nProduce high-quality documentation, including developer guides, automation standards, module usage patterns, release notes, runbooks, and support handoff materials.\nMentor engineers on automation practices, infrastructure as code, CI/CD usage, and platform consumption patterns.\nCommunicate technical designs and delivery progress clearly to engineering teams, product owners, and technology leaders.\nBusiness Knowledge and Enterprise Impact:\nStrong understanding of how developer experience, automation, and self-service capabilities improve engineering productivity, platform adoption, and delivery consistency.\nAbility to translate platform team needs and application team pain points into reusable automation patterns and practical engineering solutions.\nExperience supporting regulated, risk-aware environments where automation must satisfy security, compliance, auditability, and operational control requirements.\nStrong systems thinking, balancing standardization, governance, reliability, cost management, and developer velocity.\nOperates at a level consistent with a senior engineer role, influencing platform engineering practices and delivering meaningful improvements across multiple technology domains.\nQualifications\nRequired:\nTypically 7+ years of experience designing, building, automating, or operating enterprise technology platforms.\nExperience building self-service developer workflows, reusable modules, templates, platform APIs, or internal developer platform capabilities.\nExtensive hands-on experience with CI/CD

infrastructure-as-code practices for provisioning, configuration, policy enforcement, and lifecycle management.\nBroad experience automating AWS-based infrastructure and platform services using AWS-native capabilities, APIs, scripting, and integration patterns.\nWorking knowledge of multiple enterprise platform domains, such as databases, integration platforms, middleware, messaging, eventing, observability, and shared runtime services.\nStrong scripting or programming skills in one or more languages commonly used for automation, such as Python, Groovy, Java, Go, or TypeScript.\nSolid understanding of cloud networking, identity and access management, secrets management, logging, monitoring, and platform security fundamentals.\nBachelor’s degree or equivalent practical experience.\nPreferred:\nExperience with Agile delivery practices and tools such as Jira, including backlog refinement, story delivery, and iterative improvement of engineering capabilities.\nAWS, Terraform, DevOps, or platform engineering certifications are desirable but not required.\nApplicants for employment in the US must have work authorization that does not now or in
