This position requires activities that are subject to US Export Control Laws and require US Citizenship or Green Card Holder.

Paperless Parts is looking for a motivated and curious Platform Engineer I to join our growing team. You’ll be an active member of the team taking our SaaS platform to manufacturing shops. As a Platform Engineer I, you will help build and maintain a platform that is scalable, secure, and resilient.

You will play a crucial part in supporting the automation and tooling that makes our entire engineering team more efficient.

This is an entry‑level position on our engineering career pathway. You’ll participate fully in the life of the team — joining sprint ceremonies, completing assigned sprint work, and growing into the on‑call rotation — while building the foundation to advance toward Platform Engineer II and beyond. This role is perfect for early‑career engineers who are passionate about cloud technologies and eager to develop their skills in a collaborative environment.

• Develop and maintain infrastructure as code, including writing, testing, and deploying new Terraform modules to manage production cloud resources on AWS (EC2, S3, IAM, VPC)
• Enhance our CI/CD pipelines using industry‑standard tools like Jenkins
• Build new dashboards and set up monitoring with Datadog to ensure the health and performance of key applications
• Write and maintain automation scripts in Python or Bash to streamline routine operational tasks
• Work with containerization technologies and concepts using Docker
• Use AI‑assisted coding tools as part of your everyday workflow to write, test, and review code more effectively
• Participate in sprint ceremonies and deliver assigned sprint work, with code reviewed and supported by senior engineers
• Join the team’s on‑call rotation and learn to respond to alerts as you grow into the role

• A Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience
• 0‑1 years of professional experience in software, platform, or Dev Ops engineering; internship or co‑op experience counts
• Working knowledge of a programming or scripting language, with Python as a plus
• Basic understanding of and comfort with Linux/Unix command‑line tools
• Familiarity with modern infrastructure tools, including cloud providers (AWS, Azure, or GCP), containerization (Docker), infrastructure as code (Terraform), and CI/CD (Jenkins)
• A demonstrated, passionate desire to learn about cloud computing, Dev Ops principles, and infrastructure automation
• Strong problem‑solving skills and attention to detail
• Excellent communication skills, both verbal and written, and a collaborative mindset
• A strong sense of reliability and ownership of your assigned work, with enthusiasm for learning and applying new technologies

• 100% coverage of health, dental, and vision for you and your dependents
• Competitive compensation philosophy
• Unlimited PTO
• 13+ paid holidays
• Company‑sponsored wellness stipend
• Pre‑tax commuter and FSA/Dependent Care FSA
• 401(k) plan
• Employee recognition program

Salary range: $124,000 – $168,000
