Hiring: Platform Engineer II Company: Paperless Parts Location: Boston, MA Job Posted Time: 2026-09-15 13:10:41 Employment Type: Full-time / Hybrid Target Skills & Keywords : AWS, Bash, CI/CD, Datadog, Docker, EC2, ECS, FedRAMP, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, IAM, IaC, Infrastructure as Code, Jenkins, Kubernetes, Linux, Python, S3, SOC 2, SaaS, Terraform About the job Experience: •Cloud Infrastructure: Hands-on experience managing production cloud infrastructure on AWS (compute, networking, IAM, storage). •Automation Scripting: Proficiency in Python or Bash with the ability to write clear, tested, and maintainable automation tooling. •Infrastructure as Code: Demonstrated capability working with infrastructure as code using Terraform or OpenTofu. •Linux & Containers: Solid Linux/Unix fundamentals and hands-on experience building, running, and troubleshooting Docker images and containerized services. •CI/CD Pipelines: Experience building or maintaining continuous integration and deployment pipelines using tools like Jenkins, GitHub Actions, or GitLab CI. Required Skills: •This mid-level role is the perfect foundation for growth toward a Senior Platform Engineer, allowing you to take on real ownership of production infrastructure. You will participate fully in team operations, help onboard newer engineers, and shape how AI-assisted tooling accelerates our software development lifecycle. •What Success Looks Like (First 6–12 Months) •Independent Ownership: Within your first 90 days you've shipped an infrastructure change through the full path — module, plan review, apply, monitoring — and by six months you own a Bedrock component (a Redstone stack, a pipeline family, or a tooling area) that teammates come to you about. •Terragrunt Modules Contributed: You've authored or refactored reusable OpenTofu/Terragrunt modules that pass review, follow the team's conventions, and are adopted in stacks beyond the one you built them for. •Pipelines Measurably Better: Something a product engineering team can name got easier because of your Jenkins work — faster builds or deploys, fewer flaky failures, or quicker recovery — and you can show the before and after. •Trusted On-Call: You're a full member of the rotation, your incident handoffs are clear, and the follow-ups you own land as durable fixes with written learnings rather than repeat pages. •Lifting Newer Engineers: Your reviews and docs are good enough that a newer engineer or co-op has learned part of the platform from them, and you've paired with or onboarded at least one. •Infrastructure as Code: Design, build, and maintain production cloud resources on AWS (EC2, ECS, S3, IAM) using OpenTofu and Terragrunt. Qualifications: •Advanced IaC & Containers: Experience with Terragrunt and solid fundamentals working with Kubernetes containers in a Linux/Unix environment. •Regulated Environments: AWS GovCloud, FedRAMP, or SOC 2 exposure. •AI-Assisted Engineering: Regular use of AI coding assistants in infrastructure work, with judgment about when to trust the output. •Developer Experience Tooling: Internal tools or self-service workflows adopted by other engineering teams. Compensation: •$124,000 - $168,000 / year •100% coverage of health, dental, and vision for you and your dependent Interested candidates, please apply directly through the job posting on company's career page or try via AI auto apply on this platform.
