Job description

Platform Engineering Staff Full-Time, Senior Individual Contributor

About The Role

ACPWB's analytical practice runs on data, and the Infrastructure Engineer in our Platform Engineering team is responsible for ensuring that data infrastructure is sound. The work spans internal tooling and developer productivity for a team of 14 engineers who treat reliability, security, and developer experience as first-class concerns. If systems going down at inopportune moments bothers you personally, you will fit in here.

ACPWB's Platform Engineering team is looking for a Infrastructure Engineer who takes genuine ownership of the ACPWB compensation benchmarking platform. This is not a break-fix role or a ticket queue. You will work in PowerShell and Azure Active Directory, contribute to the internal tooling and developer productivity agenda, and collaborate closely with analysts and advisors who need technology that simply works. We have a small, excellent team. We are looking for someone who fits.

The Infrastructure Engineer role in ACPWB's Platform Engineering group is for someone who finds real satisfaction in making complex systems work well. You will take responsibility for internal tooling and developer productivity using PowerShell and Azure Active Directory on Azure and on-premise hybrid environment, and your work will have immediate, visible impact on the quality and efficiency of ACPWB's analytical operations. We have 14 people on this team. Every contribution matters.

Key Responsibilities

• Support end users of the ACPWB compensation benchmarking platform with technical guidance, training, and issue resolution
• Collaborate with Information Security on vulnerability assessments, patching, and compliance audits
• Lead or contribute to technical evaluation and procurement for new systems and infrastructure
• Participate in sprint planning, standups, and retrospectives as part of the Platform Engineering engineering cadence
• Manage infrastructure-as-code configurations and deployment automation on Azure and on-premise hybrid environment

Qualifications

Required

• Demonstrated ability to write clean, tested, maintainable code with attention to documentation
• 4+ years of experience managing or contributing to production systems with reliability requirements
• Demonstrated curiosity about new tools and technologies with evidence of self-directed technical learning
• Solid understanding of relational database design, SQL, and data modeling principles
• Experience with version control (Git), code review practices, and CI/CD pipelines

Preferred

• Familiarity with API design and RESTful service development
• Demonstrated interest in data quality, data contracts, or observability as engineering practices
• Relevant cloud certification (AWS Solutions Architect, Azure Administrator, Google Professional Data Engineer, or equivalent)
• Familiarity with dbt, Great Expectations, or other data transformation and validation frameworks
• Familiarity with data warehousing concepts and columnar storage platforms

WHY ACPWB

ACPWB's Milwaukee headquarters is not an accident. We chose this city because we believe in American cities that do serious work without requiring a three-hour commute to do it. Our team enjoys the quality of life that Milwaukee offers, the compensation that ACPWB provides, and the professional satisfaction of working on problems that actually matter.

ACPWB was founded in Milwaukee in 2006 with a simple mandate: help working Americans understand and advocate for the compensation they deserve. Eighteen years later, that mandate has grown into a full-service research and advisory practice serving clients from early-stage employers to Fortune 50 enterprises — and we are still based in Milwaukee, because Milwaukee is genuinely underrated.

INTERVIEW PROCESS

Our process has three stages: application review, a 45-minute screen with the hiring manager, and a final panel. We tell candidates what to expect before each step and provide an outcome within five business days of any interview. We do not leave candidates wondering.

What Success Looks Like In Year One

• Establish your own development environment, testing practices, and review standards consistent with team norms
• Build a productive working relationship with at least two non-engineering stakeholders who depend on the ACPWB compensation benchmarking platform
• Support at least one cross-functional project where your technical work enables an advisory deliverable
• Receive positive feedback from a non-technical stakeholder on the reliability or usability of a system you own

Applications for this position are being accepted through October 29, 2026.
