Senior Platform Engineer – Internal Developer Platform & Data Platform Automation
Engagement Type: Contract
Work Model: Remote
Level: Senior
Role Summary
We are looking for a hands-on Senior Platform Engineer to build and extend an internal developer platform focused on self-service environment provisioning, platform automation, and reusable engineering capabilities.
This is not a traditional DevOps-only role. The engineer will work across software engineering and platform engineering, building both the internal vending platform and the reusable components it delivers to engineering teams.
Key Responsibilities
  • Build and enhance internal platform services using Python, FastAPI/Flask, REST APIs, and related frameworks.
  • Develop reusable Python libraries, wheel packages, plugins, SDKs, and automation components.
  • Build custom plugins for data governance, data contracts, schema/DDL generation, event-driven architecture, validation, and platform guardrails.
  • Automate data-contract-driven workflows, including generating DDLs, schemas, configuration, governance rules, or deployment assets.
  • Create reusable golden paths and project templates using Jinja, Copier, or similar frameworks.
  • Build and maintain Terraform modules for AWS, IAM, EKS, Airflow, Databricks, secrets, and supporting infrastructure.
  • Support multi-account and multi-environment AWS deployments.
  • Build and maintain Harness CI/CD pipelines for infrastructure, platform services, Airflow, Databricks, and application workloads.
  • Integrate Harness with GitHub/GitLab, Terraform, AWS, Kubernetes, and secrets-management systems.
  • Support Kubernetes / Amazon EKS, Airflow / Astronomer, Databricks / Unity Catalog, Kafka / Confluent, and observability platforms.
  • Implement secure IAM, cross-account access, policy controls, and least-privilege design.
  • Troubleshoot end-to-end platform workflows across APIs, pipelines, Terraform, AWS, Kubernetes, Airflow, and Databricks.
Required Skills
  • 7+ years in Platform Engineering, Cloud Engineering, DevOps, SRE, Infrastructure Engineering, or Software Engineering.
  • Strong Python development experience beyond scripting.
  • Experience with FastAPI, Flask, REST APIs, and production Python services.
  • Experience building reusable Python packages, plugins, or internal developer tooling.
  • Strong Terraform experience, including reusable modules and state management.
  • Strong AWS experience, including multi-account environments and IAM.
  • Strong CI/CD experience using Harness.
  • Experience with GitHub and/or GitLab.
  • Docker and Kubernetes / EKS knowledge.
  • Strong troubleshooting, API integration, and software-engineering practices.
Preferred Skills
  • Apache Airflow / Astronomer
  • Databricks / Unity Catalog
  • Databricks Asset Bundles
  • Data contracts / ODCS
  • Data governance automation
  • Event-driven architectures
  • Kafka / Confluent
  • Backstage
  • Jinja / Copier
  • OPA / Rego
  • Datadog
  • Terraform Cloud / HCP Terraform
