Remote Platform Integration Engineer

A consulting client of Insight Global is seeking a Platform Integration Engineer to support large-scale data, analytics, and platform modernization initiatives for Huron Consulting Group and its clients. This individual will work closely with engineering leaders, data teams, and client stakeholders to assess existing analytics applications, understand data flows and integration points, and design pragmatic integration patterns that enable interoperability across diverse systems without unnecessary re-platforming. Responsibilities include building and maintaining shared platform services such as authentication, logging, observability, and configuration management; contributing to cloud infrastructure and infrastructure-as-code practices; and partnering with domain experts to surface data from multiple compute environments in a consistent and accessible way. The ideal candidate is comfortable operating in complex, ambiguous environments typical of consulting engagements, can clearly articulate technical tradeoffs to both technical and non-technical stakeholders, and brings a pragmatic, outcomes-driven mindset to platform and integration decisions. This role emphasizes collaboration, ownership, and reliability, with opportunities to influence platform patterns that support scalable, repeatable delivery across client engagements.

• 5+ years of professional software engineering experience, with at least 3 years focused on platform engineering, system integration, or infrastructure
• Strong experience designing and implementing integration patterns including APIs, event-driven architectures, and shared data contracts
• Hands-on experience with cloud platforms, with AWS strongly preferred (Azure or GCP experience is a plus)
• Experience supporting or integrating data pipelines (ETL/ELT), including schema management and data quality considerations
• Proficiency in at least one backend programming language used in data-intensive environments (Python, Go, Java, or similar)
• Experience with infrastructure-as-code tools such as Terraform, CDK, or Pulumi
• Familiarity with distributed systems and integrating heterogeneous technology stacks
• Strong communication skills, with the ability to document architecture decisions, integration strategies, and operational runbooks - Experience supporting analytics, data, or modernization initiatives within consulting or professional services environments
• Familiarity with analytics or data platform tooling (e.g., Spark, Airflow, dbt, ML platforms, or SaaS analytics tools)
• Experience working with structured and semi-structured data formats (SQL, JSON, Parquet, Avro)
• Exposure to API gateway management, service mesh, observability, or distributed tracing tools
• Experience leveraging AI-assisted development tools to improve delivery efficiency and code quality
