Job description

Platform Engineer
Our client is seeking a skilled Platform Engineer to join their team in developing infrastructure solutions for data scientists and AI/ML engineers. This team focuses on automation, access control, networking, data integrations, model refresh, A/B testing, observability, and infrastructure as code (IaC). The ideal candidate will have strong experience in platform engineering, cloud technologies, and software development with Python and Golang.

This role is fully remote.

Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and maintain scalable platform solutions to support AI/ML engineering teams.
• Build and automate infrastructure components, including access control, networking (VPC, NAT Gateway), and data integrations.
• Implement observability solutions using tools such as Splunk, SignalFX, and New Relic.
• Develop Infrastructure as Code (IaC) solutions using Terraform and other DevOps technologies.
• Support model experimentation, A/B testing, and ML pipeline development.
• Work with cloud services, particularly AWS, to optimize system performance and scalability.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure seamless integration of platform services.
• Provide guidance on best practices for infrastructure and application deployment.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or related field.
• Minimum of 5 years of relevant experience in software development and platform engineering.
• Strong programming skills in Python and Golang (both required).
• Experience with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform) and DevOps best practices.
• Familiarity with AWS cloud services and microservices architecture.
• Understanding of AI/ML concepts such as ML Serving, ML Training, GenAI, RAG, Vector Databases, and Model Experimentation.
• Experience with big data technologies like Spark, Kubernetes, and Sagemaker.
• Hands-on experience with Databricks is highly preferred.
• Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to work in an agile, fast-paced environment.

Not a Fit If:

• Your experience is primarily in data science, modeling, or algorithm development.
• You have a background focused on IoT or edge computing rather than cloud-based platform scaling.
• You primarily come from a healthcare tech background with outdated technology stacks.

Compensation: Up to $61.33/hr. (DOE)
