Stefanini Group is hiring a Platform Engineer who builds shared services, APIs, and developer tooling to help engineering teams deliver value safely and quickly. The role leans toward software development (high-quality APIs, automation, and tools), with working knowledge of cloud, Dev Ops, and SRE practices.

For quick apply, please reach out to Adil Khan at 248‑728‑6424 or

• Design and build internal and customer-facing APIs and services that are secure, reliable, and well-documented.
• Create developer tools and platform services that improve developer experience (DX): templates, CLIs, libraries, service scaffolding, automation.
• Apply engineering best practices: test‑driven development, code review, CI, and safe deployment patterns.
• Engineer for operability: structured logging, metrics/tracing, health endpoints, and actionable alerts.
• Collaborate with platform and product teams to standardize patterns (authn/authz, secrets, configuration, resilience, versioning).
• Participate in incident response and reliability improvements; help teams reduce defects and operational risk.

Experience Required

• At least 6+ years of experience in relevant field.
• Strong software engineering experience delivering production services/APIs (design, implementation, testing, and operations).
• Proficiency in at least one backend language (Java, Go, C#, Python, Type Script) and modern API practices.
• Experience with API design and lifecycle management (versioning, backward compatibility, pagination, error modeling).
• Strong testing discipline (unit/component/integration tests) and comfort refactoring safely.
• Working knowledge of cloud‑native delivery: containers, CI/CD, and operating services in a cloud environment.
• Ability to debug across layers (application, runtime, platform) using logs/metrics/traces.

Experience Preferred

• Experience building and maintaining platform APIs with an internal 'product' mindset: usability, docs, support, adoption.
• Experience with event‑driven and asynchronous patterns (queues, pub/sub), reliability, and idempotency.
• Security experience: OAuth/OIDC concepts, least privilege, threat modeling, input validation.
• Experience improving reliability using SLOs and reducing toil through automation.
• Experience with Kubernetes and infrastructure as code in partnership with platform/SRE teams.

• Python:
  Build and ship production‑grade services or internal tools (e.g., writing a CLI tool that scaffolds new microservices with standard configuration, logging, and health endpoints).
• Go:
  Write idiomatic Go for high‑performance, reliable backend APIs or platform services (e.g., implementing a REST API with structured logging, metrics endpoints, and proper error modeling).
• REST APIs:
  Design and deliver well‑structured REST APIs following lifecycle management best practices (e.g., designing a versioned internal API with consistent error modeling and clear documentation).
• Cloud Infrastructure:
  Working knowledge of running services in a cloud environment (e.g., deploying a containerized service using CI/CD pipelines and configuring health checks).
• Docker:
  Containerize services using Docker as part of a standard delivery workflow (e.g., writing a production‑ready Docker file for a backend API and integrating it into a CI pipeline).

• GCP:
  Hands‑on experience deploying and operating services on Google Cloud Platform.
• Kubernetes:
  Deploy and manage workloads in Kubernetes.
• Agile Software Development:
  Work in short, iterative cycles with clear acceptance criteria and fast feedback.
• Endpoint Security:
  Apply security best practices at the API and service level (e.g., implementing OAuth/OIDC‑based authentication and participating in threat modeling).

• Bachelor's Degree
