Bonus Points * Hands-on experience with Spacelift or similar IaC orchestration platforms such as Terraform Cloud or Atlantis. * Experience helping an organization adopt platform engineering practices, including paved paths, golden paths, service templates, and developer-facing documentation. * Experience with Chef, AWS cost management, security/compliance-driven infrastructure, or production ML/data science infrastructure. ## Description EDO is looking for a Senior Platform Engineer to help accelerate our shift toward a platform model. This is a senior IC role on the Infrastructure team focused on paved paths, reusable infrastructure patterns, and self-service workflows that help software, data, and machine learning engineers ship safely and efficiently. Our environment is AWS-heavy and data-intensive, with heavy use of EC2, RDS, S3, SageMaker, MWAA/Airflow, Snowflake, dbt, Chef, Terraform, Spacelift, and emerging ECS/container patterns. The right person has strong AWS and infrastructure-as-code fundamentals, prior exposure to platform engineering practices, and the pragmatism to modernize existing systems without assuming everything should be rebuilt from scratch. We approach infrastructure as an internal product: understanding engineers' needs, prioritizing high-leverage platform capabilities, and iterating on tools and workflows that make teams faster, safer, and more self-sufficient. What You Will Do * Build and evolve EDO's internal platform capabilities: paved paths, reusable infrastructure modules, deployment standards, documentation, and self-service workflows. * Own and improve Terraform and Spacelift-based infrastructure workflows, including module design, reviews, approvals, drift detection, and guardrails. * Modernize existing AWS infrastructure, including EC2- and Chef-based systems, while helping teams adopt more standardized and repeatable patterns over time. * Support production data and ML platform infrastructure, including MWAA/Airflow, Snowflake, dbt, SageMaker, S3, RDS, and related AWS services. * Partner with software, data, and ML engineers as internal customers, turning recurring infrastructure needs into scalable platform capabilities rather than one-off support work. * Improve deployment, CI/CD, observability, alerting, and incident response practices so teams can operate production systems with greater confidence. * Expand pragmatic ECS/container deployment patterns where they create value, without treating Kubernetes as the default answer. * Participate in a lightweight on-call rotation and use operational learnings to reduce toil, improve reliability, and strengthen the platform. ## Related Videos - [From Messy Queries to Scalable Systems - How Data Engineering actually works](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100203-from-messy-queries-to-scalable-systems-how-data-engineering-actually-works) - [Platform Engineering vs. DevOps Why not both?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/885-platform-engineering-vs-devops-why-not-both) - [From DevOps to Scaled DevOps: How We’re Rebuilding Continuous Delivery as a Platform](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100018-from-devops-to-scaled-devops-how-we-re-rebuilding-continuous-delivery-as-a-platform) - [Infrastructure as Code: The Developer's Secret Weapon](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1221-infrastructure-as-code-the-developer-s-secret-weapon) - [Implementing Feature Environments with AWS and Terraform](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/531-implementing-feature-environments-with-aws-and-terraform) - [From Pipelines to Platforms: How DevOps Automation Becomes a Force Multiplier at Scale](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1946-from-pipelines-to-platforms-how-devops-automation-becomes-a-force-multiplier-at-scale) ## Related Articles - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [The Best X (Twitter) Accounts for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/294-the-best-x-twitter-accounts-for-developers) - [Why Upskilling And Reskilling is Important For Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/428-why-upskilling-and-reskilling-is-important-for-developers) - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs) - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers)
