Platform Engineer Security Clearance

Position: Platform Engineer with Security Clearance
Overview We are seeking Full-Stack Platform Engineer, with a Tinkerer mindset, who can build high-quality software across the stack while also owning the infrastructure, pipelines, and tooling that accelerate our engineering teams. This role blends hands-on development, cloud architecture, ETL pipeline engineering, and platform automation. The ideal candidate is someone who loves solving problems across languages, systems, and environments-and has strong experience in AWS, Terraform, CI/CD (Cloud Bees/Jenkins), and more.

Contributions This engineer will design, build, and maintain developer tooling, internal services, automated workflows, ETL/ELT pipelines, and more. They will work across multiple languages, cloud-native components, front-end admin tools, and infrastructure-as-code. This is a hybrid role that blends:
* Software Engineering (API development, tooling, dashboards, automation scripts)
* Data Engineering / ETL (AWS-native ingestion pipelines, transformations, orchestration)
* Infrastructure & Dev Ops (Terraform, CI/CD, environment orchestration)
* Developer Experience (improving speed, reliability, and ease of internal development) We need someone who is a curious builder, a tinkerer, and someone capable of jumping into any system (front-end, back-end, infrastructure, or data) and making it better. Additional contributions:
* Build and maintain internal full-stack tools, admin interfaces, services, and automation scripts

* Work with AWS Glue, Lambda, Step Functions, S3, Kinesis, Event Bridge, Dynamo

DB, RDS, Athena
* Implement data quality checks, schema validation, monitoring, and alerting
* Tune pipeline performance and cost efficiency
* Author and maintain Terraform modules for AWS-based systems
* Work with Cloud Bees/Jenkins to create, maintain, and optimize CI/CD pipelines
* Implement environment automation, deployment workflows, and development environments
* Manage logging, monitoring, and distributed system health
* Build tools that improve local dev, testing, release automation, and operational visibility
* Reduce friction across engineering teams by improving processes and internal systems
* Document systems, train others on tooling, and promote engineering best practices
* Prototype new internal tools and evaluate new technologies
* Thrive in ambiguous environments and figure things out independently
* Enjoy tinkering, solving problems end-to-end, and connecting systems together
* Stay hands-on with a wide variety of technologies Qualifications

Required:

* 6+ years of experience in software engineering, data engineering, platform engineering, or similar hybrid roles
* B.S. in technical field
* U.S Citizenship
