A Senior Platform Engineer is responsible for designing, building, and maintaining scalable infrastructure and developer platforms. They optimize system reliability, automate deployments, and ensure efficient cloud or on-prem environments. This role requires deep expertise in infrastructure-as-code, CI/CD pipelines, cloud services, and system monitoring. They collaborate with development teams to enhance performance, security, and scalability.
A typical day for a Senior Platform Engineer involves designing and implementing platform solutions, optimizing infrastructure for scalability and reliability, and troubleshooting complex technical issues across multiple systems. You’ll work closely with software development, DevOps, and security teams to ensure smooth deployment and operation of applications. Additionally, you may participate in code reviews, develop automation scripts, and mentor junior engineers. Most senior platform engineers balance hands-on coding with architectural planning and team collaboration.
To thrive as a Senior Platform Engineer, you need deep expertise in systems architecture, cloud technologies (such as AWS, Azure, or GCP), infrastructure automation, and strong programming skills, typically backed by a degree in computer science or a related field. Familiarity with tools like Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, and CI/CD pipelines, as well as certifications like AWS Certified Solutions Architect, are highly valuable. Strong problem-solving abilities, effective communication, and the ability to mentor junior engineers help individuals excel in this role. These skills ensure platforms are scalable, secure, and maintainable, and support high-performance engineering teams.

Title : DevOps / Platform Engineer
Location: West Des Moines, IA
Type: Contract 4 Days On-Site
Required Qualifications
Senior-level AWS platform engineering experience: IAM (roles, policies, OIDC federation), ECR, ECS/Fargate, Secrets Manager / SSM, S3, VPC networking, and CloudWatch.
Working knowledge of Amazon ECS on Fargate: comfortable deploying and running containers, including task definitions, services, networking, IAM task roles, CloudWatch logs, ALB/service discovery patterns, and deployment troubleshooting. Deep day-to-day operations expertise is not required; a solid grasp of the basics is sufficient.
Strong Infrastructure-as-Code skills with Terraform, including provider migration, module authoring, and remote-state backends.
Hands-on CI/CD experience with GitHub Actions (reusable workflows, environments, and OIDC to AWS), including building container build-and-publish and deployment pipelines that deploy into Amazon ECS on Fargate.
Proficient scripting in Bash and Python; the skills ship shell and Python helper scripts that must be ported.
Comfortable reading and modifying automation-oriented repositories, including skill/playbook instructions, shell scripts, Python utilities, Terraform modules, GitHub Actions workflows, and Markdown-based technical documentation.
Azure literacy at a reading level: able to interpret existing ACR, AKS, Key Vault, Managed Identity, and Azure DevOps configuration in order to translate intent to AWS.
Solid Docker and Git / GitHub Enterprise fundamentals.
Preferred Experience
Experience using Claude Code or another agentic coding assistant in a professional engineering workflow, including critically reviewing AI-generated changes and validating them with tests or evidence.
Experience with Coder, GitHub Codespaces, devcontainers, cloud development environments, or similar remote workspace platforms.
Familiarity with AWS Blocks, AWS CDK, or similar infrastructure-from-code toolkits (TypeScript/Node), and the judgment to know when adopting them beats a one-to-one port.
Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD) and OIDC identity-federation experience.
Exposure to data platforms such as Snowflake, Redshift, or AWS Glue.
Financial services or insurance industry experience.
