AWS Platform Engineer

At Schuberg Philis, we specialize in mission-critical IT, partnering closely with our customers to ensure their most vital systems run smoothly and securely. Our engineers are T-shaped professionals who thrive at the intersection of depth and breadth, combining deep expertise in their fields with a collaborative mindset to ensure 100% customer satisfaction.

In our central Services we design, build, and maintain or reusable digital platforms and digitals assets that empower our customer teams. One of them is our Cloud Enablement Platform: a set of standardized, secure, and opinionated building blocks and services needed to successfully service a cloud environment used by many customers and environments.

As an AWS Platform Engineer, you work in this Services team and help shape and evolve the codebase for these platforms, services, and assets. You engage actively with our engineering community to shape the roadmap and collaborate with customer teams to ensure platform improvements are adopted and proven in real-world, production environments.

What will you do

As an AWS Platform Engineer, you work on the foundations that power mission-critical workloads at scale. You don't just build infrastructure, you design scalable, reusable platforms and building blocks that work reliably across large, complex environments.

Your responsibilities may include:

• Designing and building AWS-based platform capabilities that support both cloud-native and hybrid workloads tailored for mission-critical use cases.
• Creating reusable building blocks (infrastructure, patterns, and tooling) that can be adopted by many teams across different customers, each with their own requirements and constraints.
• Developing and improving CI/CD pipelines and automation that make platform usage safe, predictable, and fast for engineering teams.
• Engineer secure-by-design governance models, including identity, permissions, networking, and policy enforcement.
• Contribute to observability, monitoring, and operational standards at platform scale (e.g. CloudWatch, Datadog).
• Collaborate closely with customer teams and internal communities to ensure platform features are adopted and effective in real-world production environments.
• Actively participate in roadmap discussions, technical decision-making, and continuous platform improvement.

Do you have experience in Terraform?, * Extensive experience with AWS services.

• A platform engineering mindset: you think in terms of reusable systems, guardrails, and enablement rather than one-off implementations.
• Experience designing, building, and deploying infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code principles (e.g. Terraform or OpenTofu).
• A strong focus on code quality, including peer reviews, automated testing, and maintainable design.
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines (e.g. GitLab CI, Github Actions, etc).
• Ability to thrive in a self-steering environment, taking full ownership of tasks and projects.
• Eagerness to identify and taking initiative on opportunities for improvement.
• Ability to collaborate with development and operations teams.
• Experience with engaging internal engineering communities (innersource) to contribute.
• Familiarity with cloud-native and/or hybrid architectures (AWS + on-prem).

Nice to have

• Experience with container technologies such as Kubernetes.
• Familiarity with general-purpose programming languages such as Python or Go.
• Experience with Azure.

This role is centered on AWS platform engineering, with opportunities to broaden into adjacent technologies over time.
