Senior Platform Engineer

The Role

EDO is looking for a Senior Platform Engineer to help accelerate our shift toward a platform model. This is a senior IC role on the Infrastructure team focused on paved paths, reusable infrastructure patterns, and self-service workflows that help software, data, and machine learning engineers ship safely and efficiently.

Our environment is AWS-heavy and data-intensive, with heavy use of EC2, RDS, S3, SageMaker, MWAA/Airflow, Snowflake, dbt, Chef, Terraform, Spacelift, and emerging ECS/container patterns. The right person has strong AWS and infrastructure-as-code fundamentals, prior exposure to platform engineering practices, and the pragmatism to modernize existing systems without assuming everything should be rebuilt from scratch.

We approach infrastructure as an internal product: understanding engineers' needs, prioritizing high-leverage platform capabilities, and iterating on tools and workflows that make teams faster, safer, and more self-sufficient.

What You Will Do

• Build and evolve EDO's internal platform capabilities: paved paths, reusable infrastructure modules, deployment standards, documentation, and self-service workflows.
• Own and improve Terraform and Spacelift-based infrastructure workflows, including module design, reviews, approvals, drift detection, and guardrails.
• Modernize existing AWS infrastructure, including EC2- and Chef-based systems, while helping teams adopt more standardized and repeatable patterns over time.
• Support production data and ML platform infrastructure, including MWAA/Airflow, Snowflake, dbt, SageMaker, S3, RDS, and related AWS services.
• Partner with software, data, and ML engineers as internal customers, turning recurring infrastructure needs into scalable platform capabilities rather than one-off support work.
• Improve deployment, CI/CD, observability, alerting, and incident response practices so teams can operate production systems with greater confidence.
• Expand pragmatic ECS/container deployment patterns where they create value, without treating Kubernetes as the default answer.
• Participate in a lightweight on-call rotation and use operational learnings to reduce toil, improve reliability, and strengthen the platform.

What We Are Looking For

• 6+ years of experience in platform engineering, infrastructure engineering, SRE, DevOps, cloud infrastructure, or similar roles.
• Experience building, operating, or contributing to an internal developer platform, infrastructure platform, developer productivity team, or similar platform-oriented function.
• Strong production experience with AWS, especially EC2, RDS, S3, IAM, networking, load balancing, and related operational patterns.
• Strong hands-on experience with Terraform or similar infrastructure-as-code tooling, including reusable modules and multi-environment patterns.
• Comfort working in a data-heavy environment and supporting technologies such as Airflow/MWAA, Snowflake, dbt, SageMaker, S3, and RDS.
• Product-minded approach to infrastructure: able to understand engineer pain points, prioritize high-impact platform work, document paved paths, and iterate based on adoption and feedback.
• Strong operational judgment, including debugging production systems, improving observability, and building platform patterns that support reliability, security, and cost efficiency.

Bonus Points

• Hands-on experience with Spacelift or similar IaC orchestration platforms such as Terraform Cloud or Atlantis.
• Experience helping an organization adopt platform engineering practices, including paved paths, golden paths, service templates, and developer-facing documentation.
• Experience with Chef, AWS cost management, security/compliance-driven infrastructure, or production ML/data science infrastructure.
