## About the Role

FROM THE HIRING MANAGER - for our Platform Engineering team what we're looking for are people who have experience building technology to be used by other development teams (not business users). Candidates who have just built lots of apps will not be viable for this role. Ideally someone with experience at software companies might be a better fit, since they are building software to be used by the development teams who buy their software. Building a few common modules for their dev team doesn't cut it; we need people who have built software that is used by 50-100+ developers., * 10+ years of experience in software engineering

 * Proficient in Python with experience building tools using widely adopted libraries such as Pandas, NumPy, Requests, BeautifulSoup, FastAPI, and SQLAlchemy.
 * Skilled in packaging, testing, and deploying Python applications using tools like pytest, setuptools, Docker, and Git; familiarity with CI/CD workflows is a plus.
 * Hands-on experience designing, deploying, and managing cloud-native applications using AWS services (e.g., EC2, Lambda, S3, RDS, CloudFormation), with a strong grasp of scalable and secure architecture principles.
 * Proficiency in DevOps practices including CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure as code (e.g., Terraform, Jenkins), and container orchestration using ECS or EKS.
 * Familiarity with monitoring, logging, and performance optimization tools (e.g., CloudWatch, X-Ray); AWS certification is a plus.
 * Experience building and maintaining published libraries, frameworks, and services that support a wide range of teams/departments
 * Excellent written and verbal communication
 * Attention to detail, self-discipline and passion to drive and innovate
 * Must be comfortable with test-driven development, continuous integration, and agile development methodologies using tools like GIT, Artifactory, and Jenkins
 * Experience working with offshore development teams is a plus
 * Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science, engineering, math, or related field, or equivalent experience is preferred
