Job Specifications

Senior / Mid-Level Platform Engineer

B2B Data Exchange | AWS | Terraform

Location: Denver preferred (other hubs considered; remote as a last resort)

Team: Data & Platform Engineering

About the Role

We’re growing our platform engineering team to design and operate secure, scalable AWS foundations that power enterprise B2B data exchange.

This is true platform engineering work — not ETL or analytics. You’ll build reusable cloud patterns, implement secure cross-account access models, and deliver automated infrastructure that enables internal teams and external partners to exchange data reliably and compliantly.

If you enjoy building cloud platforms from the ground up, solving complex AWS security challenges, and creating infrastructure that other teams depend on, this role is for you.

What You’ll Work On

Build Secure AWS Foundations

Design and implement standardized partner data exchange patterns (SFTP, AS2, API-based integrations) using services such as:

AWS Transfer Family
API Gateway
PrivateLink
Cross-account S3
EventBridge
Managed MFT/EDI solutions

Infrastructure as Code & Automation

Build reusable Terraform modules
Contribute to “golden patterns” and deployment templates
Support Git-based CI/CD and GitOps workflows
Enable repeatable, automated deployments across environments

Security & Governance

Design least-privilege IAM models (RBAC/ABAC)
Implement cross-account access controls
Apply encryption in transit and at rest (TLS/KMS)
Manage secrets and partner credential lifecycle
Support data governance with Lake Formation and schema controls

Reliability & Observability

Implement monitoring with CloudWatch, CloudTrail, and Config
Contribute to structured logging, metrics, and tracing
Help define SLOs, alerts, and operational runbooks
Support incident response and continuous improvement

Cross-Functional Collaboration

Partner with Architecture, Security, IAM, and Data Engineering teams to translate requirements into secure, scalable infrastructure solutions.

What You’ll Bring

Must-Haves

Strong AWS platform experience across services such as:
S3, IAM, KMS, VPC/PrivateLink, Transfer Family, API Gateway, Lambda, Step Functions, Glue/Lake Formation
(Exposure to Kinesis/MSK and Redshift or Snowflake on AWS is a plus.)
Infrastructure as Code expertise (Terraform preferred; CloudFormation acceptable)
Strong Git-based workflows with disciplined PR/review habits
Security-first mindset with experience in cross-account architecture
Observability and operational experience (monitoring, alerting, incident handling)
Scripting skills in Python and/or Bash

Nice to Have

Managed file transfer and EDI integrations at scale
AWS Organizations, Control Tower, and SCP enforcement
Data contracts and schema governance experience
Familiarity with compliance frameworks (SOX, SOC 2, HIPAA, GDPR/CCPA)
AWS certifications (Solutions Architect, DevOps, Security)
Kubernetes exposure

Leveling & Scope

We are hiring one Senior and one Mid-Level Platform Engineer.

Senior: Own complex architecture patterns, lead reviews, mentor teammates, and drive platform standards.
Mid-Level: Contribute independently to well-scoped platform initiatives and reusable infrastructure components.

This is a hands-on role focused on building and operating AWS infrastructure that enables secure, enterprise-scale data exchange.
