Job Description

Platform Engineer

Location: Hartford, CT • Charlotte, NC • Short Hills, NJ (Hybrid - 2 days a week onsite)

Overview

We’re building a modern platform engineering function to support a large enterprise’s move from on-prem to Azure. This role will help define and deliver an internal developer platform, working closely with engineering, security, and leadership to create scalable, reusable cloud solutions. You’ll join a small, evolving team under new platform engineering leadership and have the opportunity to shape the vision, architecture, and tools we use.

What You’ll Do

• Build and enhance the internal developer platform with a focus on developer enablement.
• Design scalable, reusable Azure-based platform solutions that support multiple teams.
• Develop and improve cloud-native CI/CD pipelines (Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, Harness).
• Drive infrastructure-as-code practices—current state is Bicep, with interest in transitioning to Terraform.
• Contribute to the organization’s container/Kubernetes (AKS) adoption.
• Partner with security and other stakeholders to ensure alignment and early involvement.
• Prototype, demonstrate, and implement platform capabilities—not just design them.
• Help shape the direction of a growing platform engineering team.

What We’re Looking For

• Proven experience in platform engineering, internal developer platforms, or developer enablement.
• Strong Azure expertise and hands-on cloud migration experience.
• Solid understanding of DevOps tooling, cloud-native pipelines, and IaC.
• Ability to think and operate like an architect—define vision, solve unknowns, and execute.
• Strong collaboration skills and comfort operating in a fast-changing environment.
• Open to candidates who are more strategic/architectural or more hands-on/doer.
